Mohit Sharma, the veteran Gujarat pacer did not have a good day vs Delhi Capitals as Rishabh Pant smoked him all over the park in the DC vs GT clash. Rishabh Pant led his team Delhi Capitals from the very front against Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. He scored an unbeaten 88 runs to guide DC to a big total of 224/4 in 20 overs after GT won the toss and opted to bowl first.
Rishabh Pant came out to bat in the sixth over after DC lost three wickets for just 44 runs. Sandeep Warrier dismissed Jake Fraser-McGurk (23), Prithvi Shaw (11), and Shai Hope (5) cheaply to put GT in the driver's seat. The DC captain and Axar Patel did not let GT capitalize on the early breakthroughs by sharing a 113-run stand for the fourth wicket.
