The 40th match of the Indian T20 league 2022 turned out to be an absolute thriller. It saw Gujarat topple Hyderabad in a last-ball finish. Just when things seemed to be drifting towards Hyderabad's favour, Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan changed the entire complexion of the game.

The all-rounders ruthlessly hit some lusty blows towards the end of the second innings. It came down to the last over. The Hardik Pandya-led side required 22 runs in the last six balls of the game. Marco Jansen was entrusted with the task of defending the same. However, he was taken to the cleaners by Tewatia and Rashid.

Muttiah Muralitharan, who is a part of Hyderabad's coaching staff, was seen losing his cool during the final over of the game as well. After Rashid smacked a six, the legendary spinner was absolutely livid and got up from his seat. He was seen yelling in anger. Muralitharan seemingly said, "Why the hell is he bowling full?".

Fans were shocked to see him get angry as he is often considered to be one of the calmest people. Thus, the video of Muralitharan expressing his frustration went viral in no time. With nine required to win from the last two balls, Rashid smashed both the deliveries for a maximum. Thus, he scripted a memorable victory for his side.

Yet, it was the rare instance of Muralitharan losing his cool, that went on to become one of the major talking points of the game. This was Hyderabad's third loss in five games. Nevertheless, Umran Malik's performance would certainly be one of the biggest positives for the orange army from this game. The youngster took an amazing fifer.

As a matter of fact, he was the only Hyderabad bowler who managed to pick wickets on Wednesday. Several analysts and experts were mighty impressed with his performance. However, if the Hyderabad-based franchise are to win more games, then he will need support from the other bowlers as well.
