Watch: Sumit Kumar runs out Sai Sudharsan with a brilliant under-arm throw

Sumit Kumar came up with a brilliant effort to run out Sai Sudharsan in the ongoing game between Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

DC captain Rishabh Pant won the toss and opted to bowl first. His decision was justified straightaway as Ishant Sharma dismissed GT captain Shubman Gill for just eight runs to give DC a solid start. In the fourth over, Mukesh Kumar bowled Wriddhiman Saha for two to reduce GT to 28 for 2.

And even before GT could add another run to their score, they lost the wicket of Sai Sudharsan as well. It was the first ball of the fifth over and the left-handed batsman decided to take a quick single. Ishant Sharma bowled a length delivery just outside the off stump and Sai Sudharsan clipped it towards mid-wicket.

It was Sai Sudharsan's call and he decided to go for a quick run. However, before he could reach the crease safely, Sumit Kumar hit the bullseye with a brilliant effort. The DC allrounder rushed towards the ball and made an underarm throw to catch the GT batter short. Sai Sudharsan made a desperate dive but was well short.

Talking about the game, GT is in a precarious position and needs a remarkable effort from their lower-order batters to post a good total. At the time of writing this report, they were reeling on 43 for 4 in the eighth over with Abhinav Manohar and Rahul Tewatia batting in the middle.

GT are currently at the sixth spot in the points table with three wins and as many losses this season. The Gujarat-based outfit qualified for the playoffs in its first two IPL seasons and will be keen for a hat-trick this year. DC, on the other hand, are languishing at the ninth spot with two wins from six games and will be desperate for a win tonight.
