DC vs GT Stat Highlights, IPL 2024: Rishabh Pant, Kuldeep Yadav Help Delhi Capitals Return to Winning Ways

After a 67-run hammering at the hands of Sunrisers Hyderabad to kickstart their time at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in IPL 2024, Delhi Capitals did give their fans many reasons to cheer as they beat Gujarat Titans by four runs in yet another high-scoring contest. This was Delhi Capitals' fourth victory of the tournament and they will now look to continue with this momentum. Delhi Capitals did a double over Shubman Gill and his side after having beaten them earlier this season in Ahmedabad. For Gujarat Titans, though, it is a fifth defeat of what has been a poor campaign. IPL 2024 Points Table Updated With Net Run Rate.

The decision to insert Delhi Capitals to bat first did turn out to be fruitful for Gujarat Titans as they reduced the home team to 44/3 at one stage with Sandeep Warrier being the wrecker-in-chief, having taken three wickets for 15 runs. But a partnership between Rishabh Pant and Axar Patel, which yielded 113 runs off 68 balls turned the game around in Delhi's favour. Both players played their shots with a lot of freedom and confidence and in between, kept rotating strike as well. Axar, promoted to bat higher up the order, justified the call with 66 off 43 balls. However, it was a whirlwind 67-run stand off just 18 balls between Pant and Tristan Stubbs which really took the game away from the visitors. Pant gave the selectors a timely reminder of his batting skills with a masterful 88* off 43 balls, a knock which included five fours and eight sixes. Viral Moments from DC vs GT IPL 2024 Match: Rishabh Pant's 'Helicopter Shot', Tristan Stubbs' Heroic Save And Other Highlights from Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans Clash.

Stubbs' 26-run cameo off only seven balls helped Delhi Capitals post 224/4. The highlight of the first innings was Pant hitting Mohit Sharma for 31 runs in one over which led to the Gujarat Titans' bowler registering the most expensive bowling figures in IPL history. In response, Gujarat Titans lost skipper Shubman Gill, who was playing his 100th IPL match, early but Sai Sudharsan ensured that the chase did not get away, with 65 off 39 balls. David Miller's power-packed 55 off 23 also helped Gujarat Titans remain in the contest before a final flourish from Rashid Khan (21* off 11) almost took Gujarat Titans to a win. But a brilliant fielding effort by Tristan Stubbs in the end saved five runs for Delhi, which eventually had a role in the result. For Delhi Capitals, Rasikh Salam took three wickets but Kuldeep Yadav (2/29) was the most economical. DC vs GT Memes Go Viral After Gujarat Titans Lose to Delhi Capitals by Four Runs in IPL 2024.
