Gujarat Titans received a huge boost for their ongoing game against Delhi Capitals as their star batsman David Miller finally returned to action.

The South Africa star played in the first three games for Gujarat Titans this season, helping them win two of them as he registered scores of 12, 21, and 44 not out.

However, he had to miss the following three games due to a niggle. In his absence, Gujarat Titans lost the fourth and fifth games before registering a thrilling win in the sixth game against Rajasthan Royals.

David Miller was finally fit to play against DC and GT were in desperate need of a big score from their star man. Asked to bat first, GT were in deep trouble when David Miller walked out to bat. He had to come out to bat in the fourth over after Mukesh Kumar dismissed Wriddhiman Saha for just two runs to reduce GT to 28 for 2. Before Saha's dismissal, GT captain Shubman Gill was dismissed by Ishant Sharma for eight.

And while GT would have hoped that the veteran batsman would bail them out of trouble once again, he failed to do it against DC. He lasted just six balls and managed to score two runs before a sharp catch from Rishabh Pant ended his stay at the crease.

On the final ball of the fifth over, Ishant Sharma bowled a short of good length delivery that was angled in. While the GT star wanted to play the ball towards the on side, he was completely opened up and failed to make good contact with the ball.

The ball flew towards the right of Rishabh Pant who made a full-stretch dive to take a stunning catch. The umpire did not give his decision in DC's favor but had to overturn it after Rishabh Pant opted for the DRS.
