Former India cricket Sanjay Manjrekar has dropped Virat Kohli from his T20 World Cup squad which is scheduled to be played in June later this year. The former Indian batter, however, has retained Rohit Sharma as the opener and the skipper. Notably, Kohli is currently the highest run-getter in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season with 430 runs to his name

Kohli's runs, however, have come at a strike rate of 145, which is considered modest in T20 cricket. Manjrekar also included some surprise names in the squad.&nbsp;Among the players Manjrekar selected, Krunal Pandya comes as a shock member of the 15-man squad. The former India batter picked the team during a show on Star Sports.

Here's Manjrekar's India squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup: Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Avesh Khan, Harshit Rana, Mayank Yadav, Krunal Pandya

Among the selected members, Manjrekar was especially full of praise for Kuldeep and said: "Yes. And this is perhaps Kuldeep Yadav at his peak with regards to his skills, his confidence. You can see now he's out there like a Bumrah or Chahal at his peak. He is commanding that kind of respect. He looks comfortable with the responsibility and champions, you know, those breaks and those moments that you are seeking at the right time."

Manjrekar's choices are somewhat unorthodox with Sanju Samson and KL Rahul both in the squad. Among the bowlers, the former cricketer has gone bold with KKR's Harshit Rana and Avesh Khan along with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.

He also picked Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) speedster Mayank Yadav and Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant who made a comeback to the IPL this year following a horrific car crash in December 2022.

Rajat Patidar then scored a blitzing 20-ball 50 and added 65 runs for the third wicket with Kohli. SRH then struck back with the wickets of Patidar and Kohli in space of 10 runs as RCB's innings again stuttered with five overs to go.

Cameron Green then stayed till the end and scored 20-ball 37 not out as Bengaluru posted 206/7 in 20 overs. For SRH, Jaydev Unadkat was the pick of the bowlers with 3/30 in four overs while Natarajan took 2/39 while skipper Pat Cummins and spinner Mayank Markande chipped with one each.

Former Zimbabwe all-rounder Guy Whittall survived a leopard attack earlier this week and is recovering after undergoing an emergency surgery. This is not the first time Whittall has had an encounter with the wildlife. Several years earlier, an eight-foot crocodile was found under his bed.

Whittall played 46 Tests and 147 ODIs for Zimbabwe between 1993 and 2003 and now runs a safari business with his family in the country. The incident occurred when he was tracking the said leopard who was injured by a client. Whittall suffered cuts to his arms and legs and a five-inch cut on his head as well.

"Chikara [is] coming up tomorrow to the vet after being mauled by the leopard and getting the cat off Guy!" she wrote. "Very special boy."

"Guy and I are overwhelmed by the hundreds of messages of well-wishers after Guy's run in with a wounded leopard earlier today. We are very fortunate that he was stabilized at Hippo Clinic by wonderful staff. He was then Airlifted from Buffalo Range by Ace Ambulance to Harare, then transferred to Milton Park Hospital for treatment," she added.

"He really is one lucky man," Hannah told MailOnline. "First he had the crocodile and now the leopard, he really is the cat with nine lives."

As for his numbers, Whittall had scored 2,203 runs in 47 Tests with a best of 203. He has also recorded 10 fifties and four hundreds in his career to go with 51 wickets with a best of 4/18 in an innings.

In ODIs, he scored 2,705 with 11 fifties to his name and a best of 83. In bowling department, he took 88 wickets with a best of 4/35 in an innings.

Delhi Capitals' swashbuckling batter Tristan Stubbs is optimistic that his side can make a late push to reach the playoffs of the Indian Premier League.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) all-rounder Sunil Narine has ruled out a comeback for his national team West Indies in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Narine, who is in sublime form in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season, cleared his intentions of not coming out of retirement in a long post issued by KKR. The T20 WC is scheduled to be played in June later this year, right after the conclusion of IPL 2024.

"I'm truly flattered and humbled that my performances recently have moved many people to publicly express their wish for me to come out of retirement and play in the upcoming T20 World Cup," Narine wrote.

"I have made peace with that decision and whilst I never wish to disappoint, that door is now closed and I will be supporting the guys who take the field in June for West Indies.

"Guys who have worked hard for the past few months and deserve to show our wonderful fans that they are capable of winning another title - I wish you all the best," he concluded.

Playing for KKR, Narine's form with both bat and the ball has been crucial as the team sits second on the 10-team points table with five wins in seven games they have played so far.

In the seven innings, Narine has&nbsp;scored three fifty-plus scores, including his maiden T20 century which came against Rajasthan Royals on April 16. With 286 runs to his name, Narine is KKR's highest run-getter in the ongoing season. He has also chipped in with nine wickets (the most for KKR) in those games as well - taking at least one wicket in each match.

Royals all-rounder and West Indies T20 skipper Rovman Powell admitted to 'whispering in Narine's ear (to come out of retirement)', but the veteran has decided against it. He last played for West Indies in 2019 before calling it quits in 2023.

IPL 2024: 'I will be...,' KKR all-rounder Sunil Narine opens up on playing upcoming T20 World Cup

Delhi Capitals (DC) players Axar Patel and Mukesh Kumar have hit out at the Impact Player rule, calling it unfair. This comes after DC coach Ricky Ponting and India skipper Rohit Sharma also echoed the same views. While Ponting called the rule a 'nightmare for the coaches,' Rohit said it doesn't help in developing all-rounders for India.

Axar, who plays the role of bowling all-rounder for both DC and India, admitted that his batting order has been affected by the rule.

"Because of the Impact sub rule, everyone gets one more batsman so they think that they will use the batsman in case&nbsp;the batting unit doesn't go well. And whosoever comes to play, they don't take much time and start (hitting) from the first ball because they know that they have a player in seventh or eighth place," Axar said as quoted by news agency PTI.

"That is why I am not a big fan of the rule, because as an allrounder I know that they will either take a proper batsman or a bowler, not an allrounder," he added.

His teammate and fast bowler Mukesh went one step ahead and questioned the relevance of the rule as it is not applicable at the international level.

"If 12 players are not playing at the international level, then what is the need for it in IPL? With 12 players, even if four wickets are down, the next player is not scared of getting out or making the team stable, they come and play their shots. So either the nature of tracks should be changed or 12 players should not be allowed," said Mukesh.

The Impact Player rule has indeed given the teams a chance to maximise the 20 overs. The rule has come in handy for teams like Chennai Super Kings (CSK) who have used Shivam Dube as an impact sub while batting and have gotten good runs out of him.

Delhi Capitals (DC) players Axar Patel and Mukesh Kumar have hit out at the Impact Player rule, calling it unfair. This comes after DC coach Ricky Ponting and India skipper Rohit Sharma also echoed the same views.

Former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar praised the hundred scored by Yashasvi Jaiswal for Rajasthan Royals against Mumbai Indians on April 22 in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, but with a caveat. Gavaskar, who himself hails from Mumbai just like Jaiswal, asked the young batter why he has to score a hundred against MI and not other teams.&nbsp;

"This is your second century against the Mumbai Indians. And you're a Mumbai boy. What is it that is making you score these hundreds against them? Can't you score these hundreds against others?" Gavaskar asked Jaiswal after the match.

The young Rajasthan batter replied: "Nothing. It's just that I think am trying to do what I do well. Some days are tough, some days are good. And I was just playing. That's all. I didn't have anything in my mind."

Thanks to the hundred, Jaiswal's first of the season, RR chased the target of 180 with utmost ease with nine wickets in hand. Jaiswal remained unbeaten on 104 off just 60 balls.

The season has been extremely good for Royals who are at the top of the points table with just one loss and seven wins in eight games. All of their batters, namely Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag and now Jaiswal have been among the runs.&nbsp;

They have been complemented well by their bowlers as well, especially Yuzvendra Chahal, who leads the wicket-taking chart or Purple Cap leaderboard this season. Chahal also became the first bowler in IPL to reach the mark of 200 wickets with 1/48 in four overs against MI.

As for Mumbai, the season has been rather disappointing, as they slumped to their fifth defeat of the season in eight games. MI (six points) along with Delhi Capitals (six points), Punjab Kings (four points), and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (two points) are at the bottom of the 10-team points table.

IPL 2024: Sunil Gavaskar GRILLS Rajasthan Royals batter Yashasvi Jaiswal on scoring hundred vs MI | Here's why

Rajasthan Royals (RR) will take on Mumbai Indians (MI) on Monday (Apr 22) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 in the reverse fixture. RR had beaten MI earlier in the tournament in Mumbai comfortably by six wickets. Currently, the Royals are at the top of the points table with six wins in seven games while MI sit in seventh position with just three wins in seven games.

Royals have done very well in the tournament on the back of their batters, while MI have been off and on with both bat and the ball. Royals skipper Sanju Samson (276 runs), Riyan Parag (318 runs) and Jos Buttler (250 runs) have stepped in at different times to win it for the team.

MI, who started the season with three consecutive losses, saw a turnaround with three wins in the next four games but still lack consistency. Rohit Sharma at the top of the order has been sublime while Jasprit Bumrah has proved to be a menace with the ball.

Apart from those two, no other Mumbai player has been able to reprise match-winning performances on a regular basis. While Gerald Coetzee is second on the wicket-taking charts with 12 scalps, his economy touches 10 and Suryakumar Yadav, since his return, has been both a success&nbsp;and a&nbsp;bust in four innings. MI skipper Hardik Pandya's form with both bat and the ball has also been a concern for them.

As for the Royals, their bowlers have chipped in at all times with leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal leading the attack. Royals definitely look a better side to win as they have done most of the times this season barring a close loss to Gujarat Titans.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) will take on Mumbai Indians (MI) on Monday (Apr 22) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 in the reverse fixture. RR had beaten MI earlier in the tournament in Mumbai comfortably by six wickets. Currently, the Royals are at the top of the points table with six wins in seven games while MI sit in seventh position with just three wins in seven games. Royals have done very well in the tournament on the back of their batters, while MI have been off and on with both bat and the ball. Royals skipper Sanju Samson (276 runs), Riyan Parag (318 runs) and Jos Buttler (250 runs) have stepped in at different times to win it for the team. Also Read: GT bounce back after chastening defeat at home, beat PBKS by 3 wickets MI, who started the season with three consecutive losses, saw a turnaround with three wins in the next four games but still lack consistency. Rohit Sharma at the top of the order has been sublime while Jasprit Bumrah has proved to be a menace with the ball. Apart from those two, no other Mumbai player has been able to reprise match-winning performances on a regular basis. While Gerald Coetzee is second on the wicket-taking charts with 12 scalps, his economy touches 10 and Suryakumar Yadav, since his return, has been both a success and a bust in four innings. MI skipper Hardik Pandya's form with both bat and the ball has also been a concern for them. As for the Royals, their bowlers have chipped in at all times with leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal leading the attack. Royals definitely look a better side to win as they have done most of the times this season barring a close loss to Gujarat Titans. Mumbai, on the other hand, must click if they wish to enter the mid-table logjam and move further up to make it to the playoffs.

IPL 2024, RR vs MI Match 38 Preview: Mumbai look for crucial win against rolling Royals

Former India and Punjab Kings (PBKS, erstwhile Kings XI Punjab) batter Virender Sehwag has lashed out at PBKS skipper Sam Curran for being ineffective. The comments came as PBKS lost yet another game, this time against Gujarat Titans, in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) on April 21.

Curran has been given the captaincy after Shikhar Dhawan was sidelined due to injury but hasn't been able to impress with either bat or ball. Sehwag, while speaking to cricket news website Cricbuzz, not only criticised Curran but questioned his place in the side as well.

"If I was in the PBKS dugout, I would not even pick him in my team, neither as a batting all-rounder nor as a bowling all-rounder. I wouldn't pick him", Sehwag said.

"A player is not of any use, if he can bowl a bit and bat a bit. You either bat properly and win us the match, or you bowl and win us the game. This bits and pieces part I don't understand," he added.

As for the match, PBKS could manage only 142 runs in exact 20 overs with Curran scoring only 19-ball 20 as an opener. GT had a bit of a scare during the chase as they lost four wickets for less than 100 in 14.4 overs.&nbsp;

Rahul Tewatia then scored unbeaten 18-ball 36 to take his side home in 19.1 overs. Curran the bowler was decent during his spell, taking 1/18 in two overs.

With the loss, PBKS' chances to make it to the playoffs took a severe hit as they have now lost six of their last eight games including last four at home in Mullanpur, Mohali.

GT, on the other hand, are now in the mid-table logjam with four losses and four wins in eight games.

IPL 2024: 'Not of any use...,' Former PBKS opener lashes out on skipper Sam Curran

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) suffered a heartbreak with the one-run loss against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on April 21. Chasing 223, RCB were in command for most time before four wickets in span of 18 runs and two overs turned the game around.

RCB spinner Karn Sharma did tilt the game towards his team in the last over but it wasn't enough in the end. With three needed off the last ball, Lockie Ferguson did his best to steal a second run to take the game into the super over, but KKR keeper Phil Salt dived to collect a 'rubbish' throw and break the stumps to help his team win.

IPL 2024: Gautam Gambhir praises RCB for 'phenomenal display of character' against KKR

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batter Dinesh Karthik has said that he'll do his best to be in India's squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup. The comments come on the eve of RCB's match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on April 20. Karthik has been in sublime form in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season, scoring 226 runs - third most for his side - at an average of 75 and a strike rate of 205.

Speaking of his chances to play the T20 World Cup, which is scheduled to be held in June after the IPL, Karthik said: "At this stage in my life, it would be the greatest feeling for me to represent India (at the upcoming T20 World Cup). I'm very, very keen to do so. There is nothing bigger in my life other than representing India in this T20 World Cup."

Karthik, however, acknowledged that whatever decision is taken, he'll be content with it.

"I also feel there are three very, very stable, honest people who are at their helm to decide what should be the best Indian team for the World Cup. Rahul Dravid, Rohit Sharma, and Ajit Agarkar. And I'm completely with them. I respect any decision that they take. But all I can say is I'm 100% ready. And you know I'll do everything I can to be on that flight to the World Cup."

Karthik's form although, hasn't been able to save RCB from losing six of the seven matches they have played. His personal performance, nonetheless, have attracted enough attention, including from India skipper Rohit Sharma.

SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar thinks that their batters are ruining the bowlers by posting sky-high totals every time in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). The comments came as SRH went past 250 on the third occasion this season - posting 266 in 20 overs, this time against Delhi Capitals on April 20.

Bhuvneshwar also acknowledged that this is the first time their batting is clicking nicely and the bowlers are happy to take a back seat.

&nbsp; 
"For so many years, this is possibly the first time our batting is clicking so much," Bhuvneshwar said.&nbsp;

"As bowlers, we are happy to take the backseat and let the batters do their work and happy do defend so many runs. Honestly, they are ruining us; if one of the games we score 180-200 mentally, it will be tough for us bowlers to defend those. But great to see the way they are batting," he added.

The bowler also admitted that defending plenty of runs comes with a caveat of going for many runs as well and the franchise accepts that.

"When you are defending those many runs, either of the things happen - you go for plenty of runs or you get teams out within 150. We accept the fact that when you defend so many runs, you can go for plenty of runs," said Bhuvneshwar.

Notably, each time SRH have posted in excess of 250, they have gone for runs too, conceding 246 against Mumbai Indians (target: 278), 262 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (target: 288) and 199 against Delhi Capitals.

Nonetheless, SRH, after win against Delhi, moved to the second spot on the points table with 10 points after five wins and two losses in seven games they have played. DC, meanwhile, continue to languish at seventh place with just three win after eight games.

Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper Rishabh Pant said that he expected the dew to play a role in second innings against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) during their Indian Premier League (IPL) match on April 20. DC had won the toss and elected to bowl first against SRH which went against them as they conceded 266 runs in 20 overs.

"The only thought process behind [electing to bowl at the toss] was we thought there will be a bit of dew, which did not come," Pant said at the post-match presentation.&nbsp;

"If we could have restricted them to 220-230 we still had a chance. (The ball) stopped more (on the pitch) in the second innings than what we anticipated. But when you have 260-270 to defend, it gives bowlers confidence," he added.

Pant admitted that powerplay was the difference between the two sides. Notably, SRH went on to score the highest ever powerplay score in all T20s - posting 125 for no loss in the first six overs.

"I think powerplay was one of the differences. They got 120-130 runs in the powerplay and we were catching up throughout the match," he acknowledged.

Notably, SRH openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma were brutal in the powerplay as they tore apart a bowling attack comprising of Anrich Nortje, Mukesh Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel. Head reached his fifty of just 16 balls - joint fastest for SRH along with Abhishek Sharma who achieved the feat&nbsp;few days back.&nbsp;

By the time powerplay was done, SRH had posted highest powerplay score ever with Head batting on 84 off just 26 balls and Abhishek on 40. Hyderabad had also hit 13 fours and 11 sixes in the first 36 balls which translate to four balls going either for a four or a six every over.

In reply, DC had a good powerplay too, scoring 88 runs but eventually were bowled out for 199, losing the match by 67 runs.

DC vs SRH, IPL 2024, Highlights: SRH beat hapless DC by 68 runs

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter MS Dhoni has become the first player to score 500 or more runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) after the age of 40. Dhoni reached the milestone during the match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on April 19. MSD played an unbeaten innings of 9-ball 28 to create the record.

The 42-year-old, who will turn 43 in July, has played 46 matches after age of 40 and has batted in 37 innings during those matches. He now has exact 500 runs to his name after 40, at an average of 33 and a strike rate of 140. His highest score during the period is 50 not out to go with his 39 fours and 30 sixes as well.

Before Dhoni, Chris Gayle held the record of most runs in IPL after turning 40. Gayle had 481 runs to his name in 17 matches he played after crossing 40. India coach Rahul Dravid is third on the list with 471 runs in 18 matches while Adam Gilchrist scored 466 runs in 20 matches. Former MI batter Sachin Tendulkar completes the top-five with 164 runs in eight games.

In the ongoing IPL, Dhoni comes down the order at number 7 and gets no more than 10 balls to play. The veteran, however, has thrilled the crowd whenever he bats with his belligerent stroke play. His cameo of 5-ball 20 not out against Mumbai Indian proved to the margin of win for CSK.

As for match against LSG, Dhoni hit one of the biggest sixes of the season - 101 metres. In the ongoing season, Dhoni has scored 87 runs in seven matches at a strike rate of 255 without being dismissed even once. He has also hit eight sixes and seven fours in just 34 balls he has faced with a highest score of 37 not out.

Ruturaj Gaikwad and KL Rahul, skippers of Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have been fined by the Board on Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The captains were reprimanded for maintaining a slow over rate during their sides' match on April 19.

With this being the first offence of both teams, they have been fined $15,000 (INR 12 lakh) each. The board released a statement regarding the same after the match. As for the match, LSG beat CSK by eight wickets on the back of Rahul's 53-ball 82.

Chasing a target of 177, LSG were in cruise control since the beginning, thanks to their openers Quinton de Kock (53) and Rahul adding 134 runs in 15 overs for the first wicket.

CSK had a good start to the game after winning the toss but lost the track in the middle overs. CSK skipper Gaikwad acknowledged that his team couldn't capitalise in the middle overs while Rahul gave credit to pre-plan strategy and execution for the below par target.

"Obviously, there's a bit of time we spend on doing homework, [and] talking about tactics and strategies against the opposition. And yeah, that was one of our strategies: to use pace, use spin, and make sure that they don't get settled into playing one type of bowling. So [I] tried to mix it around.

"And I think credit goes to the bowlers: I can do all the changing, but if they don't execute, then all of us look stupid as a team. They executed really well. We work really hard at training, and it's good to see that the team is sticking to the plans," Rahul said.

For CSK, it was their third loss in seven games as they stay put at third place on the 10-team points table. LSG, on the other hand, also have same wins in same number of games but are currently fifth on the points table owing to lower net run rate.

IPL 2024: BCCI fines Ruturaj Gaikwad and KL Rahul INR 1.2 million each for THIS reason

Former India batter Robin Uthappa has said that Rohit Sharma's form for Mumbai Indians in the last three-four year could have been a reason that he was removed from captaincy. Notably, Hardik Pandya had replaced Rohit as MI skipper ahead of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. Uthappa made the observation while talking on the TRS podcast.

"In the last four years, statistically... I'm never gonna question the calibre and the gloriousness of Rohit Sharma the batter. But look at it from a franchise perspective. They won in 2020. They didn't win in the last three years. And the last three years, Rohit scored less than 300 runs (only once). So there's a lack of success as a batter, a lack of success as a captain. In just the IPL cause everywhere else, he has scored runs," Uthappa said.

"Hardik Pandya is their discovery. They did it through their scouting methods. So they are essentially looking at a pure Mumbai Indians boy. When captaincy was given to Rohit Sharma it was taken from Ricky Ponting in the middle of the season. This is the same franchise. All the senior guys Sachin Tendulkar, Harbhajan Singh, and Ricky Ponting supported Rohit," Uthappa added.

Notably, Rohit has not been able to make an impact with the bat in the league since scoring 405 runs in 2019 season. The India skipper, who has more than 6,500 runs in 250 IPL games, has scored 1,313 runs at an average of 23.8 in 55 games from 2020-2023.

In the ongoing season, however, he's been in rich form, scoring 297 runs in seven matches he has played. He has scored these runs at an average of 49.5 and a strike rate of 164. Mumbai Indians although, aren't performing that well, winning just three games so far and losing four.

IPL 2024: 'There's a lack of...,' Ex-India batter explains reason behind removing Rohit Sharma as MI skipper

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad rued a poor powerplay with both bat and ball after the loss against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on April 19. CSK, however, did manage to get some last-over impetus, thanks to Mahendra Singh Dhoni's 9-ball 28 not out but their total of 176/6 in 20 overs did not prove&nbsp;enough.

"I know we finished off really well - couldn't have asked for more - but I think after the powerplay, we couldn't just kick off from the start we got until the 14th or 15th over," Gaikwad said after the match. "We kept losing wickets at regular intervals. I think [we were] 10-15 runs short."

"Even on these kind of pitches - I felt it was a sluggish one to start off with, with dew coming later [and the pitch] getting better - I still feel 180-190 would have been a good score," he said.

Chasing the target, LSG didn't look perturbed at all as openers Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul added 134 runs in 15 overs. Gaikwad acknowledged that not taking wickets in the powerplay is also something they need to work upon.

"[That] is the one area where we would like to improve going forward. It really puts the opposition on the back foot if we get wickets in the powerplay - especially when we are about ten runs short - and definitely that is one area we need to work on," said the CSK skipper.

LSG eventually achieved the target in 19 overs with eight wickets in hand. Rahul top scored with 53-ball 82 while de Kock hit 43-ball 54. Nicholas Pooran also smashed his way to unbeaten 12-ball 23 and won the match for his team - their fourth win in seven games this season.

For CSK, it was their third loss in seven games as they stay put at third place on the 10-team points table, two above LSG, who are fifth.

Delhi Capitals (DC) won their second match on the trot and third overall in the Indian Premier League (IPL) after thrashing Gujarat Titans (GT) by six&nbsp;wickets on April 17. With the win, DC, who were ninth on the points table before the match, now stand at sixth place. Chasing a target of 90, DC made small task of it and reached the winning mark in just ninth&nbsp;over.

DC opener Jake Fraser-McGurk was fiery in the start of the chase, scoring 20 off 10 before getting out on the last ball of the second over. Prithvi Shaw was the next to fall for a six-ball seven but it had no affect on scoring.

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.

Abhishek Porel (15 off 7) and Shai Hope (19 off 10) then added 34 runs in 14 balls as DC effectively closed the game. Pant (16 off 11) and Sumit Kumar (9 off 9) were at the crease as DC registered a thumping win by six wickets.

IPL 2024: VIDEO | DC take 4 wickets inside powerplay vs GT courtesy Pant's diving catch and a flying run-out

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:
