IPL 2023: Shimron Hetmyer happy to get revenge against Gujarat Titans

In an exciting encounter at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on April 16, 2023, the Rajasthan Royals finally tasted victory against the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The win came after facing defeat at the hands of Gujarat Titans thrice in IPL 2022.

Led by Sanju Samson, Rajasthan Royals put up a strong fight, with Samson scoring a half-century, and Shimron Hetmyer’s explosive performance helping to seal the victory. Despite needing seven runs off the final over, Hetmyer remained composed and hit a six over the wide midwicket to secure a memorable win for his team. Speaking after the match, Hetmyer said, “I don’t have any words. Difficult to win against these (GT) guys, they beat us thrice last year but today was sort of a revenge.”

The win was a significant moment for Rajasthan Royals, who had struggled against Gujarat Titans in the past. It showed the team’s determination and perseverance in bouncing back and getting a crucial victory. The victory also provides a much-needed boost for Rajasthan Royals, who will look to build on this win and continue their journey in the IPL 2023 season.

As Hetmyer said, “I practice these situations, it helps when you practice with that mindset of knowing we are few wickets down and chasing 100 with 8 overs to go. I was actually pretty happy to be honest…He bowled well throughout so the first ball all I was thinking about was getting that double and take it from there.” This quote reflects the importance of practicing difficult situations in cricket and how it can help players approach the game with a positive mindset.

Overall, the Rajasthan Royals can be proud of their performance and will look to carry this momentum forward in the remainder of the IPL 2023 season.
