Rashid Khan makes a crucial breakthrough! Shai Hope's innings comes to an end, departing after scoring 19 runs. This dismissal provides a glimmer of hope for GT amidst the onslaught.

Sandeep Warrier, who is making his debut for Gujarat Titans, has picked up the key wicket of Prithvi Shaw. The DC batter departs cheaply for just seven runs. GT's Johnson, who picked up the last wicket of Jake Fraser-McGurk, took an easy catch of Shaw. Blue flags all over Narendra Modi Stadium.
Fraser Mc-Gurk unleashes two scorching shots in the opening over, leaving even Sourav Ganguly in awe. However, this promising start is abruptly halted by Johnson.

Following Axar Patel's dismissal of Rahul Tewatia for 10 runs, Khaleel Ahmed swiftly eliminated Mohit Sharma, who managed just 4 runs. This remarkable bowling performance marks DC's finest display with the ball in this IPL season.
Gujarat Titans' powerplay woes persist as they lose four wickets by the end of the initial six overs. Adding to their troubles, the home team loses two more wickets, that of Abhinav Manohar and M Shahrukh Khan, in the next 18 runs, both claimed by Stubbs. Remarkably, this marks the first instance in this season of the IPL where no sixes have been hit in the first ten overs. This speaks volumes about the formidable bowling performance delivered by DC today.
David Miller, who returned to action today, faced a brief stint at the crease, managing only 2 runs before heading back to the GT dugout. DC's successful review added to their dominance during the powerplay, firmly placing them in control of the match. Ishant Sharma claimed his second wicket of the evening, further bolstering DC's position.
On paper, Gujarat Titans may seem like the stronger force against Delhi Capitals, boasting superior rankings. But, this is the IPL, where the unexpected reigns supreme! As GT's openers, Gill and Saha, stepped onto the field, anticipation soared for a fiery kickoff. Yet, within just five overs, GT's top order crumbled like a house of cards! From skipper Shubman Gill's swift exit at 8 to Wriddhiman Saha's meager 2 to Sai Sudharsan's disappointing 12 before being run out, DC's relentless bowling and electrifying fielding have ruthlessly dismantled GT's batting arsenal!
Now, that's the experience talking, folks! Ishant Sharma exhibiting his trademark skills once again! Dismissing the GT captain early in the powerplay gives a significant advantage to Delhi Capitals.

First, DC lost out on Mitchell Marsh. But he was replaced by young Aussie star Jake Fraser-McGurk. He made headlines by slamming a half-century in his debut IPL match against LSG at Ekana. Kuldeep Yadav is also back in form and his brilliant three-wicket haul means that DC's bowling unit woes were somewhat taken care of. But with Warner's absence, DC must bring someone to open along with Prithvi Shaw because Rishabh Pant looks more or less settled at number 5.
