However, the third umpire gave it a no-ball and hence, the last delivery had to be bowled again which was also a free hit. Ravichandran Ashwin, who had smacked 3 sixes in the last match for the Royals, came out to bat for the free hit.
Yash Dayal bowled a wide delivery outside off and Riyan Parag ran towards the striker's end without any call or affirmation from Ashwin. Consequently, the all-rounder was run out while trying to steal a run.
Finally, Ashwin slugged the last delivery wide of the deep mid wicket for a double, taking the RR total to 188/6 in 20 overs in the first innings.
Earlier, Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya won the toss & opted to bowl first against Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 1 of the IPL 2022. This match is being played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
