However, it is still unclear whether she was forced to perform or it was her own will. The severity of her injury is also unknown till now.

The defending champions Gujarat Titans defeated SRH by 34 runs and thus became the first team to qualify for the playoffs of the IPL 2023. Shubman Gill scored 101 in 58 balls, his maiden IPL century and with useful contribution from Sai Sudarshan, who played a good knock of 47 in 36 balls, GT scored 188-8. SRH pacer Bhuvaneshwar Kumar took his maiden five-wicket haul in IPL helped SRH restrict GT to a par score, which looked impossible at the 14th over mark when GT were batting at a run rate of over 10 with a set Shubman Gill at crease and nine wickets in the kitty.
For GT, Mohammed Shami bowled a phenomenal spell of (4-21-4) and broke the spine of SRH batting. No other batter other than Henrich Klassen 64(44) could mark his presence against the dominant GT bowling attack. This loss meant that SRH became the second team to be knocked out of the IPL 2023.
