Player of the Match

Sai Sudharsan | Player of the Match: Thanks for backing me. A little bit nervous as this is my first award. I was thinking about what needs to be done right. I wasn't under pressure. It was a bit low and skidding, my plan was to take the game deep. Weathering the storm (was more satisfying). It was seaming initially, I played late and that was the highlight for me.

Gujarat Titans won by 6 wickets

GT Captain

Hardik Pandya, GT Captain: It was funny at the start, we didn't what was happening, something was happening. The way the bowlers pulled back was amazing. I go with my instinct, I like to back myself. Most often that not, I punch first rather than taking the punch. We tell the boys to enjoy there. It helps you take the right decisions. Someone's putting their hand up. Taking care of each other is important. He (Sai Sudharsan) is been batting terrifically.

GT in run chases

Gujarat Titans in run chases -- 11 chases | 10 wins | 1 defeat -- This is only the second time that they have completed the chase before the final over, the other came in the IPL 2022 final against Rajasthan Royals!

David Miller

David Miller: Didn't have time to get jetlagged. Nice to get a win tonight. We were within range - was a matter of 3 sixes or 4 fours. Just felt like that over needed to go. We started well last year. Built really good momentum. We've got mature cricketers in the middle order - Tewatia, Rashid. Chasing a total, you can panic early. But to stay calm - we've done that pretty well. It's a very relaxed environment. There's times through the games when you get heated, but that's part of the game.

DC Captain

David Warner, DC Captain: Don't think I was surprised (early movement for GT seamers). It did swing a lot more than anticipated. And from the other end it kept a little low. They showed how to adapt to situations. Got another 6 games here. Have to be on point and expect that swing in the first few overs. We were in the game till the back end. Sai batted well. Miller does what he does. With the dew also, it'll be challenging if you don't get 180-190. Was because of the wicket (Axar not bowling) - and the matchups.

DC needs to ponder

Its a second loss on the trot for Delhi Capitals and they have some thinking to do as they were 15-20 runs short today. They created chances and were in the game but one mistake toppled them over. They are yet to get off the mark on the points table.

A thumping victory

Gujarat Titans were exceptional with the ball and the batters followed it up in the chase. There were a few hiccups but one man stood tall and made this run chase a secure one for them. It was none other than Sai who got the backing from MIller as he changed things within three balls during the 16th over which went for 20 runs!

Killer Miller is here

David Miller is the next to bat and he is the man that GT will bank on to smash from here. He has just come in from South Africa and that might affect his batting. Can he deliver and get his side home?

Marsh gets the job done

Pandya comes in next

The skipper Hardik Pandya is in at no. 4 to bat for GT. Can he form a partnership with Sai?

Nortje you beauty

Anrich Nortje is following a routine: Come in, bowl the first ball of the over, hit the wickets! Shubman Gill is the latest victim of this routine as he walks back after scoring 14 runs. GT is 36-2 after 4.1 overs.

Sudharsan in

Sai Sudarsan is the new man in for GT at number 3 and he scores a handsome boundary off Kahleel! GT moves on to 35-1 with Gill now on strike.

Free-hit salvaged

The attempted yorker gets converted into a low full toss and Gill manages to only get a single. GT is 30-1 after 3 overs.

Insult to injury

Gill hits his third boundary and Nortje overstepped as well. Its a double blow to DC with the free-hit coming up.

Saha misses, Nortje hits

Nortje comes in, bowls the perfect length and the ball strikes Saha's wickets! This is what the Capitals needed upfront. GT is 22-1, Saha goes for 14 runs.

Two done

After two overs, GT is 22-0.

Sheer timing

That's a hallmark of a classy player as Gill just pushes the ball and timing is all the ball needed to hit the fence!

Mukesh in to bowl

Mukesh Kumar is the next bowler in for DC and he gets the hammering from Gill as he scores a boundary on the first ball he faces.

Great first over

A sixer to end the over! GT is underway in this run-chase as Khaleel's over goes for 14 runs.

Anther one

Four more for Saha as he goes airborne this time down the ground. This is a good start for the Titans!

First runs for GT

Width on offer for Khaleel and Saha guides it for GT's first runs in the form of a boundary!

The chase is on!

The fielders are out and its the duo of Wriddhiman Saha alongside Shubman Gill for GT who'll open the innings. Khaleel Ahmed who has been brought in as an Impact Player will bowl the first. He has replaced Sarfaraz Khan for DC.

Highlights from GT

Gujarat Titans were fabulous with the ball as Mohammad Shami had set the tone upfront with two early wickets and Alazarri Joseph's economical spell produced two wickets. Rashid Khan was brought in late but he ended up picking three wickets to prove his mettle. Although Shami went for 41, his three wickets were enough to get the Titans a firm grip in the innings.

Highlights from DC

Many players got off to starts but weren't able to convert them into big ones. Warner got 37, Sarfaraz scored a slow paced 30, Abishek played a brilliant cameo of 20, while Axar Patel smashed 36 off just 22 balls.

Axar came in at no.7 today and he needs to be pushed up the order because we've seen how dangerous he can be with the bat. This is a learning for DC which they need to focus on.
