Player of the Match

Rishabh Pant

88(43)

Right then, that is it from Match 40 where the home side Delhi defeated Gujarat in a thriller of a game. Delhi creeps up to the sixth position with this win and the points table is tightly stacked in the middle now with three teams at 8 points. And for Gujarat, things have gotten a bit more challenging with this itching defeat. But the action in the Indian T20 League 2024 continues as next up is the highly anticipated clash on the cards. It will be the reverse fixture where Hyderabad takes on Bengaluru at the iconic Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium of Hyderabad. That game will begin on Thursday, 25th April at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). But as you know, you can join us a lot sooner for the pre-match build-up. Till then, take care, and goodbye!

Rishabh Pant, the captain of Delhi is the Player of the Match for his blistering and decisive knock along with a couple of fine catches. Pant starts by saying that Nortje was having a bit of a tough time and T20 can be a funny game as the ball was coming on nicely after the 14-15th over and when someone is bowling well, he should be given a chance and hence Rasikh Dar was given the 19th over. He also adds that it doesn't always come on but thankfully, it did for them. Mentions that at 43/3, the conversation with Axar Patel was to keep scoring 8-9 runs per over and the opposition had class spinners and waited for the opportunity to put them away. On his fitness, he says that every day it feels better and better and after such a big lay off, he is happy to get back in shape. Ends by saying that once he hits one six in a game, it charges him up and he is just trying to do the best from his side.

Stay tuned for the presentation ceremony...

Kuldeep Yadav is down for a flash interview. He says that they are happy to get those two crucial points. Says that it was an amazing game of cricket and in the end, they held their nerves strongly to get over the line. Adds they went with a plan and executed well in the mid-overs. States that the ball didn't turn a lot but in the end, they had enough on the board. Says that he didn't try to do anything extra and just focused on his lines and lengths and saw what the batters were trying to do.

Shubman Gill, the captain of Gujarat says that they played some great cricket and is very proud of the way the boys played and is just a bit disappointed to have not gotten over the line. Adds that when you are chasing over 220 runs, you shouldn't think much and just have to go for the big shots. Mentions that the Impact Player rule has a role to play in the big scores in recent times as the teams can go big in the middle overs even after losing wickets. Adds that they looked to restrict the opposition to somewhere around 200 but gave away a few runs and feels that given the dimensions of the ground, 224 was chasable. Ends by saying that execution is very crucial when there is a set batter in the death overs and when the wicket is as good as it was here, it is a difficult game for the bowlers.

Earlier in the game, Delhi put up a formidable total of 224 runs on the board. Jake Fraser-McGurk and Prithvi Shaw laid a solid foundation for the home team, providing stability at the crease. However, their partnership was cut short when both batters were dismissed in the same over, momentarily slowing down the run rate. Nevertheless, Delhi's fortunes turned around with the arrival of Axar Patel, who was promoted to number 3, and Rishabh Pant. The duo orchestrated a remarkable recovery, forging a resilient partnership of 113 runs. While Axar reached his fifty, Pant remained unbeaten on 88, plundering 31 runs off the last over and ensuring Delhi posted a daunting total on the scoreboard. Coming to chase, Gujarat despite losing Gill early, kept up with the required rate and after a sensational tug-of-war of a game that went down to the wire, Delhi emerged as the better side of the two.

Delhi, following a strong batting finish, sought to replicate the same while defending. While they managed to make an early breakthrough with Anrich Nortje dismissing Shubman Gill, Delhi missed further opportunities to capitalize during the Powerplay. Axar Patel's costly drop of a straightforward catch proved to be a significant setback for Delhi. However, Axar Patel redeemed himself later in the game by taking three crucial catches and a wicket, contributing to Delhi's fightback. The spinners then took charge, effectively stemming the flow of runs and exerting pressure. Rasikh Dar and Kuldeep Yadav, with a couple of wickets each, played pivotal roles in turning the game around dramatically in Delhi's favor. However, the game witnessed another dramatic turn when Gujarat managed to counterattack effectively for a couple of overs before Mukesh Kumar dismissed the dangerous-looking Miller who dented them badly. The game went down to the wire where Delhi somehow managed to defend 18 off the final over and registered their fourth win of this season.

WHAT A CRACKER OF A CRICKET GAME WE HAVE WITNESSED HERE! Delhi emerge as the victors eventually but surely, their breaths were taken aback in the backend. The crowd has got every penny's worth it as they see their home side winning off the last-ball thriller. In the pursuit to chase 225, Gujarat faced an early setback as they lost the wicket of their captain, Shubman Gill, in just the second over. However, Wriddhiman Saha and Sai Sudharsan took charge, stabilizing the innings with a steady partnership. Sudharsan, benefiting from a stroke of luck after surviving an early dropped catch, capitalized on the opportunity, accelerating the scoring rate to register a brisk half-century. Yet, his departure at a crucial juncture led to a sudden collapse for Gujarat, as they lost Saha, Omarzai, and Shahrukh in quick succession during the mid-overs. With the required run rate escalating beyond reach, pressure mounted on the batting side. Nevertheless, David Miller emerged as a beacon of hope for Gujarat, showcasing his aggressive batting prowess in the 17th over, where he relentlessly fetched boundaries and injected vitality back into Gujarat's innings. Miller's departure at the very wrong time costed Gujarat dearly and despite Rashid's valiant efforts in the final over, Gujarat fell short by just four runs.

Mukesh Kumar To Rashid Khan

So close yet so far for Rashid Khan and Gujarat here! Mukesh Kumar shows some bravery and goes for the yorker yet again, bowling it around off and too full again. Rashid has to fetch it a bit and ends up getting it off the toe end of the bat. The ball flies down to wide long on and Tristan Stubbs collects it on the bounce as the batters don't even bother to run. Delhi win by 4 runs!

19.5

Mukesh Kumar To Rashid Khan

SIX! Oh, hello! There's the first one! Full and wide, just a bit too full though and Rashid Khan manages to get under it. Rashid powers it brilliantly over long off and keeps the game alive with a vital maximum. Are we in for a Super Over here? Surely not, right? 5 needed off the final ball.

19.4

Mukesh Kumar To Rashid Khan

No run taken, a golden dot ball and Rashid Khan now needs to hit two back-to-back maximums to seal the win. Goes full and straight and gets it full enough, Rashif heaves it away flat and hard towards deep mid-wicket and doesn't take the single.

19.3

Mukesh Kumar To Rashid Khan

That should have been put away and Mukesh Kumar will feel he has got away with that. Goes for the wide yorker but serves a full toss instead and Rashid Khan misses the swipe across the line. Rishabh Pant gets a bad bounce but the fielder at short third is alert to save the boundary. Rashid reviews it for a no ball but it is well below the waist.

19.2

Mukesh Kumar To Rashid Khan

FOUR! Rashid Khan is making Delhi pay for that dropped catch. Slower one, bowled a bit short and outside off, Rashid Khan waits well and slashes it high over cover-point for another boundary. 11 needed off 4 balls.

19.1

Mukesh Kumar To Rashid Khan

FOUR! Rashid Khan with a classic shot! Full and outside off, Rashid stays deep and shuffles across before whipping it helicopter-like towards cow corner for a boundary.

Mohit Sharma is the new man in. And it will be Mukesh Kumar to bowl the final over. Will he be able to defend 18? Let's find out...

Rasikh Dar To Sai Kishore OUT!

OUT! TIMBER! Look what it means to the young man Rasikh Dar but Sai Kishore has done his job he will feel. Finally, Rasikh goes pace on and nails the quick yorker angling it into the stumps. Sai Kishore is beaten for pace as he looks to flick it away and the off stump gets knocked out of the ground. 19 needed off the final over.

18.5

Rasikh Dar To Sai Kishore

SIX! Uh, oh! Rasikh Dar and Delhi are letting it slip here. Another slower one, pitched up this time and right in the slot around off, Sai Kishore waits well and smacks it over long on for another biggie.

18.4

Rasikh Dar To Sai Kishore

SIX! Wow, what a hit from Sai Kishore! Another back-of-the-hand slower one, on a good length and around off. Kishore gets across a bit and lifts it high and over wide long on for a maximum.

18.3

Rasikh Dar To Sai Kishore

Slower one from around stumps, on a good length and outside off, Sai Kishore looks to crash it through covers but misses.

18.2

Rasikh Dar To Rashid Khan

An immaculate display of athleticism and presence of mind from Tristan Stubbs in the deep here. This is pitched up outside off stump and Rashid Khan thumps it flat towards long off and the ball seems to be sailing over the ropes but Stubbs leaps high up and grabs the catch. However, he is falling over and manages to push the ball back in. Just a single.

Has Stubbs managed to throw the ball back in the field of play in time? He times his jump to perfection, catches it, and throws it back in the field of play before falling beyond the ropes. The replay confirms that he has cleanly thrown the ball in time. Saves five for his team.

18.1

Rasikh Dar To Rashid Khan

FOUR! Pressure is clearly on young Rasikh Dar as he serves a juicy full toss on the pads, Rashid Khan just helps it down to fine leg for a boundary.

18.1

Rasikh Dar To Rashid Khan

WIDE! Attempted slower one, full and outside off, a bit too wide though.

Mukesh Kumar To Sai Kishore

FOUR LEG BYES! Fuller in length and around leg stump, Sai Kishore looks to get inside the line and scoop it away but misses. The ball deflects off the pads and goes between the keeper and short fine leg for a boundary. Rishabh Pant reviews it for a LBW but the ball is clearly pitching outside leg stump.

Is that out? A review for LBW from Delhi challenging the on-field decision. Nothing on UltraEdge and the Ball Tracker shows that the ball has clearly pitched outside the leg stump. NOT OUT and Delhi burn a review here.

17.5

Mukesh Kumar To Rashid Khan

That is such good death bowling from Mukesh Kumar. Full and outside off, right in the blockhole, Rashid Khan can only jam it out on the off side for a single.

17.5

Mukesh Kumar To Rashid Khan

No ball! Oh, dear! A howler of a delivery from Mukesh Kumar as his attempted wide yorker lands beyond the cut strip and it will be a No Ball. Free Hit to follow as well.

17.4

Mukesh Kumar To Sai Kishore

On a hard length and around leg stump, Sai Kishore pushes it away through wide mid on for a single.

Sai Kishore is in at number 9.

17.3

Mukesh Kumar To David Miller OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT! What a pressure grab from Rasikh Dar and he is pumped up! Mukesh Kumar persists with the toe-crushing yorker and gets it spot-on on middle and leg stump. David Miller looks to hang deep and whip it away and does exactly that but gets it flat towards deep square leg. The ball is dipping late and Dar almost spills it but manages to hang on and Miller is distraught as he should have put that away. Delhi can breathe again here.

17.2

Mukesh Kumar To David Miller

FOUR! At the moment, there are no fielders as per David Miller. Goes for the yorker at the toes but Miller is well deep in his crease and clears the front leg before whipping it away through backward square leg for a boundary.

17.1

Mukesh Kumar To Rashid Khan

PUT DOWN! Abishek Porel drops a crucial catch and at a crucial time as well. This is bowled short over middle and around waist-height. Rashid Khan pulls it hard and flat but straight towards deep square leg where Porel comes in a bit and spills the catch. A single is taken and giving Rashid a life at this stage could be a huge miss.

Anrich Nortje To David Miller

FIFTY up for David Miller and Gujarat are well and truly still in the game. Comes from over the wicket and goes full at the legs, Miller flicks it away well in front of deep mid-wicket but Shai Hope covers good ground and dives across to save a couple of runs. Can Miller do what Marcus Stoinis did last night? 49 needed now off 18 balls.

16.5

Anrich Nortje To David Miller

SIX! David Miller at his breath-taking best here! Banged in quick and short around off stump, Miller is ready for it and gets on top of the bounce before whacking the pull a long way over deep mid-wicket for a third maximum in the over.

16.4

Anrich Nortje To David Miller

SIX! Oh, my word! That was simply a jab from David Miller and he has cleared the fence again. Too full on middle, in fact a low full toss and Miller just lifts it dead straight for a biggie.

16.3

Anrich Nortje To David Miller

Dug in on a hard length and around off, David Miller is early in the pull and cue-ends it back onto the deck.

16.2

Anrich Nortje To David Miller

SIX! Oh, that is a shot! On a hard length outside off at over 150 clicks, David Miller just stays back in the crease and smashes it over deep extra cover for a maximum. 10 off the first two balls and Miller is in overdrive mode.

16.1

Anrich Nortje To David Miller

FOUR! David Miller just has to go for it now and he starts off well. Fractionally short over middle, Miller gets in position early and pulls it in front of square for a one-bounce boundary.

Strategic Break! Gujarat is in deep trouble here as they have lost quick wickets in succession in the mid-overs. And with the latest dismissal of Rahul Tewatia, things are doing south for them at the moment, with the asking rate zooming up dramatically with every delivery. David Miller is still at the crease but he needs a partner at the other end to do the job. Delhi on the other hand, has done quite well with Rasikh Dar taking two absolutely crucial wickets along with Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel dominating the phase. Gujarat are still in the hunt of 73 runs off the last 24 deliveries and will require a miraculous innings from the finishers to get home. Rashid Khan is in at number 8.

Kuldeep Yadav To Rahul Tewatia OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Another sharp catch by Rishabh Pant behind the stumps and Kuldeep Yadav ends his spell with a huge wicket. Kuldeep bowls this one quite short and pushes it wide of the off stump, Rahul Tewatia goes chasing after it and doesn't quite keep his shape as he goes for the cut and gets an edge. Pant with some quick glove work pouches it nicely to his left and Kuldeep gets another wicket off a rather nothing delivery but he won't mind as Delhi get Tewatia for a low score.

15.5

Kuldeep Yadav To David Miller

Fired in full on the pads, flicked away through square leg for just one more by Miller.

15.4

Kuldeep Yadav To Rahul Tewatia

Flighted ball, on a dragged length and around off, Rahul Tewatia looks to use his feet but has to adjust and push it towards cover for a single.

15.3

Kuldeep Yadav To David Miller

Excellent fielding by Tristan Stubbs in the deep. This is bowled short and David Miller pulls it firmly through the mid-wicket region and Stubbs just runs to his left, slides and keeps it down to a single.

15.2

Kuldeep Yadav To Rahul Tewatia

Short ball on the pads, flicked away down to fine leg for a single.

15.1

Kuldeep Yadav To David Miller

Floats it up, nice and full outside off stump, David Miller cannot get under it and hits it down to long off for a single and hits his pads with the bat after reaching the other end as he feels, he should have put that away.

A gently-paced delivery in the channel of off, on a length, David Miller works it to point for a quick single to end the over. 78 runs needed now off the last 30 deliveries.

14.5

Rasikh Dar To Rahul Tewatia

Identical length, angling back in on off, Rahul Tewatia knocks it to Kuldeep Yadav at deep backward square leg and takes a single.

14.4

Rasikh Dar To David Miller

On the back of a length, angles back on off, David Miller taps it to short third and runs a quick single.

14.3

Rasikh Dar To David Miller

FOUR! What a cracking shot from Killer Miller! Provides no room to the batter, and bowls in the tight channel on off, David Miller moves to the leg side of the ball and generates room before cutting it powerfully through extra covers for a boundary.

14.2

Rasikh Dar To Rahul Tewatia

On the back of a length, outside off, this is pulled to deep square leg for one.

Rahul Tewatia, the match-winner from the last game is the new man in.

14.1

Rasikh Dar To Shahrukh Khan OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Superb reaction catch by Rishabh Pant. Not at all an easy catch but he does pretty well. Rasikh Dar bowls it on the fourth stump line, keeps the length a bit short, it skids a bit too. Shahrukh Khan covers his off-pole and goes for a wild swing but he plays over the line of the ball catching a faint inside edge. Rishabh Pant is ahead close to the stumps and grabs it. Rasikh Dar gets his second wicket and another underwhelming performance from Shahrukh Khan. He is dejected at himself and rightly so. Gujarat lose half of their side now.

13.5

Mukesh Kumar To David Miller

FOUR! Into the gap and gets the desired result! Provides a lot of width on a length, outside off, David Miller drives it solidly on the up through the covers for a boundary.

13.4

Mukesh Kumar To Shahrukh Khan

Cannons a perfect yorker on the middle and leg, Shahrukh Khan bends and jams the bat in time toward point and hurries for a single.

13.3

Mukesh Kumar To David Miller

Again on a short length, just around off, David Miller pulls it through mid-wicket for an easy single.

13.2

Mukesh Kumar To Shahrukh Khan

Around off on a length at a gentle pace, Shahrukh Khan pushes it back to the bowler and Mukesh is late to react on the follow-through. The ball rolls behind him and they take a single.

13.1

Mukesh Kumar To David Miller

On a length, over the off stump line, David Miller drags it to deep mid-wicket off the back foot and gets an easy single.

12.5

Rasikh Dar To Shahrukh Khan

Oh, almost got the second one! This one lands on the middle stump line, and beats Shahrukh Khan on the inside edge as he looks to punch it to mid on without any foot work. Pant gets hit on the left thigh and the ball rolls near the slip cordon.

Shahrukh Khan comes out to bat at number 6.

12.4

Rasikh Dar To Sai Sudharsan OUT!

OUT! TAKEN! This is a very timely wicket for Delhi as Sudharsan was looking so good with the bat! Rasikh Dar lands this one around off on a fuller length and invites Sai Sudharsan to come down the track and take a risk. The southpaw does skip down the track looking to clear the long off fence but he loses his shape in this process and mistimes the shot by hitting it straight down the throat of Axar Patel who takes another crucial catch. First Indian T20 League wicket for Rasikh Dar.

12.3

Rasikh Dar To David Miller

Shade full, attacking the off stump, David Miller punches it solidly toward cover for one.

12.2

Rasikh Dar To Sai Sudharsan

Angling into the middle stump from off, on a fuller length, Sai Sudharsan flicks it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Edged but that went into the ground first! Quicker and flatter outside off, Sai Sudharsan rocks back to cut but gets an under edge which is fumbled by Rishabh Pant behind the stumps.

Floated up on middle, pushed down to long on off the front foot for a single by Miller.

10.5

Axar Patel To Sai Sudharsan

Full, flighted on off, Sai Sudharsan gets down and sweeps it uppishly to deep square leg where Mukesh Kumar runs across and flicks the ball back to the field of play with deep mid-wicket coming in rescue for him. A couple taken.

10.4

Axar Patel To David Miller

On a good length outside off, David Miller rocks back and punches it to extra cover for one.

Fuller-length delivery at the middle stump, Azmatullah Omarzai gets down on his knee for a slog sweep but miscues his shot, getting it off from the inner half of the willow. The ball carries up flat towards deep mid-wicket where Jake Fraser-McGurk sprints forward and takes a stunner to dismiss Saha.

Good running again and that brings up the FIFTY for Sai Sudharsan and this has been a very fine knock from the southpaw. The googly, bowled a tad short and turning back in sharply into the pads, Sai rocks back and works it through mid-wicket for a couple of quick runs.

Kuldeep Yadav To Wriddhiman Saha OUT!

OUT! TAKEN! Axar Patel with a stunning catch to make amends for his previous drop and he brings up his 100th catch in T20s as well. Not the best delivery from Kuldeep Yadav as he serves a half-tracker but does get it well wide of the off stump. Wriddhiman Saha doesn't move his feet and just reaches out after it, looking to go over the top but doesn't quite get the elevation. Axar who is standing close in at covers leaps up and grabs it brilliantly with both hands to finally break the stand.

9.3

Kuldeep Yadav To Sai Sudharsan

Tossed up a bit fuller and on middle and leg, Sai Sudharsan leans on and works it away to deep mid-wicket for just another single.

8.1

Axar Patel To Sai Sudharsan

On a good length, sliding it across the leg stump at 100 clicks, Sai Sudharsan stylishly works it off the legs through mid-wicket for one.

Strategic Break! Despite of losing the skipper Shubman Gill on a mere 6 runs, Gujarat has faired well with Wriddhiman Saha and Sai Sudharsan constructing a resilient stand of 66 off just 39 deliveries. Delhi after an early breakthrough, have slipped a bit as they couldn't compound on the momentum provided by Nortje. Axar Patel dropped an easy catch of Sai Sudharsan which has further multiplied their woes. However, Delhi, with two spinners bowling in tandem, will aim to get a couple of quick wickets and capitalise in the mid-over phase. Whereas, Gujarat will target to pile up quick runs and dominate the pace of play further. Let's find out how the mid-over phase pans out.
