The Gujarat Titans vs Delhi Capitals match at the IPL 2024 was a pretty quick affair as the latter chased down a meagre 90-run target in just 8.5 overs. Delhi Capitals, under the leadership of Rishabh Pant, did not put a foot wrong in the entire match. After the bowlers did a fine job to shake the Gujarat Titans batters, DC batters ensured that there was no hiccup. The win took DC to the sixth spot with three wins in seven games while GT were down to the seventh spot.
There was a point in the match when DC bowler Kuldeep Yadav lashed out at teammate Mukesh Kumar as he threw a ball. “Paagal vaagal hai kya (Ate you nuts)?” Kuldeep Yadav said. DC captain Risbabh Pant ran towards him and said: “Gissa nahi, guss nahi (dont’t get angry).”

After the match, DC skipper Rishabh Pant was a satisfied man.
“Lots of things to be pleased about. We spoke about champion mindset and our team spoke about it. I think we just want to enjoy one win at a time. They are hard to come by but you have to enjoy each and every moment.”
“Definitely one of the best (bowling effort by DC in IPL 2024). Still early in the tournament and we can still improve from here. The only conversation was to get it (the chase) as early as possible because we lost few NRR points in some other games where we lost,” said Pant after the match ended.
“The only thought process before coming to the field is that I wanted to come in in a better way. Only thought when I was doing my rehab. Each and every match I am loving the process and being on the ground,” said Pant about coming good with bat and gloves, which gives a lot of joy to Indian team, especially with T20 World Cup selection around the corner.
