Rabada\u2019s raw pace added to the pressure, while Holder delivered the knockout blow with a superb spell of 4\/24, the best bowling figures for GT against Punjab Kings.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/> At 47 for five inside nine overs, PBKS were in complete trouble. Though Suryansh Shedge played a fighting knock of 57 and stitched a crucial 79-run stand with Marcus Stoinis (40), the damage had already been done.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/> Shedge showed composure under pressure, mixing caution with calculated aggression, highlighted by a brutal over against Manav Suthar where he collected 26 runs. But just when PBKS looked to rebuild, Rabada struck again to remove him, ending hopes of a full recovery.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/> GT\u2019s pacers kept chipping away, ensuring PBKS never fully regained control.
