Match Highlights:
Stoinis scored 20 off 15 balls, including two sixes and a four, to ensure comprehensiveness of PBKS's 243 runs total. This was greatly helped by Shreyas Iyer's astonishing knock of 97 runs off 42 balls. Gujarat Titans fought hard but fell short by 11 runs, earning them a great victory. Even with the setback, the incident served to showcase the might of Stoinis' batting alongside the need for greater attention on-field security staff.
