#1 Jos Buttler hits five fours in a row against Mitchell Starc

GT batter Jos Buttler got the better of DC's star speedster Mitchell Starc in the contest. The 15th over of the run chase saw the swashbuckling batter hit five consecutive boundaries off the left-arm pacer's bowling.

Starc went full for the first four balls, but Buttler was able to counter that brilliantly. The bowler changed things up and bowled a short-pitched delivery on the fifth ball. The right-handed batter played the pull shot and Vipraj Nigam dived to attempt a catch. However, the ball bounced in front of him and ultimately ended up hitting the ropes for another four.

Buttler accumulated 20 runs from Starc's over. It is worth mentioning that he was adjudged the Player of the Match for his stunning knock.

#2 Ishant Sharma's heated exchange with Ashutosh Sharma

GT pacer Ishant Sharma lost his cool at DC's Ashutosh Sharma in the match. The incident took place after the final ball of the 19th over. Ishant finished the over with a bouncer to Ashutosh.

Ishant appealed for caught behind, but the on-field umpire adjudged it not out. Ashutosh suggested that the ball didn't brush his glove but had hit his shoulder.

The veteran seamer didn't seem to be satisfied with it and was seen giving Ashutosh an earful. Here's a video of the verbal altercation between the two:

#3 Mitchell Starc's warning to GT opener for backing up too far

During the third over of the run chase, Mitchell Starc stopped in his delivery stride on seeing Sai Sudharsan backing up too far at the non-striker's end. The fast bowler didn't go for the run out at the non-striker's end but did give a warning to the GT opener.

Sudharsan was dismissed in the eighth over after a 36-run knock. The southpaw perished to left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav, getting caught by Tristan Stubbs at deep mid-wicket.
