GT vs DC: "Ishant Sharma - The Hero" - Twitter Reacts As Delhi Capitals Snatch Victory From The Jaws Of Defeat Against Gujarat Titans In Low-Scoring IPL 2023 Thriller

GT vs DC: Fans on Twitter reacted after Delhi Capitals (DC) defeated Gujarat Titans (GT) by 5 runs in the 44th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Narendra Modi International Stadium in Ahmedabad to register their third win of the season and keep their hopes alive.

Delhi Capitals won the toss and opted to bat first, but it turned out to be a horrible decision as Gujarat Titans pacer Mohammad Shami looked unplayable and made batters look clueless. The bowler removed Phil Slat (0), Rilee Rossouw (8), Manish Pandey (1), and Priyam Garg (10) before Rashid Khan ran out David Warner (2) to leave the opposition tottering at 23/5 in 5 overs.

The second essay of the game started on a similar note as Khaleel Ahmed bowled a maiden wicket to start the proceedings. He removed Wriddhiman Saha before Anrich Nortje, Ishant Sharma and Kuldeep Yadav removed Shubman Gill (6), Vijay Shankar (6), and David Miller (0) respectively to reduce GT to 32/4.

But skipper Hardik Pandya held the fort for his side and smashed a gritty half-century under tough circumstances. Abhinav Manohar tried to support him but he managed just 26 runs and was out in the 18th over. DC then kept things tight but Rahul Tewatia brought his side back in the game by smashing three sixes to Anrich Nortje in the penultimate over.

With 12 runs needed off the last over, there was a twist in the tale as Ishant Sharma removed the southpaw on the 4th ball and then closed the game perfectly to win the game for his side by 5 runs. The pacer took 2 wickets and returned with the figures of 23/2.

Amazing match, another last ball result and a topsy-turvy result! Delhi looked dead and buried after scoring just 130 against defending champs Gujarat, but fought back superbly. Race for places in play-offs still wide open!

Bottom of the table #DC stunned table toppers #GT. We've witnessed two back to back low scoring games. Excellent bowling by @imK_Ahmed13 and @ImIshant. @MdShami11 was at his best today but unfortunately ended on the losing side. #IPL2023

No useless agressions, no fights, just waited for his chance and proved why class is better than fluke form.

Delhi Capitals kept their hope alive – they have 6 points now…

Beat down Table Toppers in their home – and even incredible is that they did it while defending in front of Titans.

This is INCREDIBLE IPL!#GTvsDC

pandya should be blamed.

Pandya looked so overconfident after his 40s as if match is in hand and he can smash anyone for 20+ runs (anyone can see his body language, tried to look cool )#GTvsDC
