IPL 2018: Gambhir's 36th fifty helps Delhi set target of 167 runs for Punjab
#7 Gautam Gambhir (Delhi Capitals)
He has now equalled David Warner's record for most IPL fifties
Delhi skipper Gautam Gambhir on Sunday played a spectacular knock to reach his 36th half-fifty against Punjab in the 2nd match of Indian Premier Legaue (IPL) 2018.
The opener slammed 55 runs off 42 balls to help his franchise set 167 runs target for the opponents.
He has now equalled David Warner's record for most IPL fifties.
Apart from Gambhir, no other Delhi batsmen showed character to score big.
Rishab Pant, Shreyas Iyer, got starts but failed to convert them into big scores.
Throughout the innings, Gambhir was seen busy building the momentum, which kept falling due to the constant loss of wickets.
Pant chipped in a handy 28, while Morris made 27 off 16 balls.
For Punjab, Debutant Mujeeb Ur Rahman ended up with two wickets, while Axar Patel went for 35 runs in 3 overs.
Both Delhi and Punjab have never won an IPL trophy.
