Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper Rishabh Pant's glovework, which included two back-to-back stumpings, brought Gujarat Titans (GT) on knees in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on April 17. GT were already four down after powerplay when Pant brought on part-time Tristan Stubbs to bowl the ninth over and he obliged with two wickets.
The first one to go was Abhinav Manohar who was beaten on the outside edge and Pant did brilliantly well to whip off the bails in a jiffy. The next ball, bowled to new batter and impact sub Shahrukh Khan, was in-fact a wide but went on to hit the stumps after deflecting from Pant's gloves. Have a look at the video below:
Thanks to some sensational bowling and fielding, GT were six down for 61 at the half-innings mark.
Earlier, GT had won the toss and elected to bowl first at home in Ahmedabad. DC, however, had other plans and brought GT on its knees by taking four wickets inside the powerplay. The wickets also involved a sensational run-out and an athletic catch by skipper Rishabh Pant as well.

It started with the wicket of GT skipper Shubman Gill who was sent back by DC's Ishant Sharma in the second over of the innings. Wriddhiman Saha was next to go after chopped on a ball by Mukesh Kumar onto the stumps.
Sai Sudharsan was then caught short by Sumit Kumar while trying to steal a single. Ishant then returned to take the wicket of David Miller who was caught behind brilliantly by Pant. By the time powerplay ended, GT were 30/4 - their one of the lowest powerplay totals.
GT eventually were bowled out for 89 in 17.4 overs and Delhi reached the 90-run target in ninth over with six wickets in hand.
