IPL 2022: Gujarat Titans stun Delhi Capitals after Rajasthan Royals beat Mumbai Indians
India Today
IPL 2022: Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans stunned Delhi Capitals to register their second successive win after Rajasthan Royals defeated Mumbai Indians on Saturday.
Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals made it two wins on the trot on a doubleheader Super Saturday in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Gujarat rode on Shubman Gill's 84-run knock and Lockie Ferguson's exceptional pace bowling to stun tournament favourites Delhi Capitals in the 10th match of the IPL 2022 in Pune.
Delhi were in the game throughout the run chase, but Lockie Ferguson came up with a game-changing performance as the GT pacer took two wickets in the 15th over and finished with a fantastic four-wicket haul on Saturday.
GILL FIRES
After Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant won the toss and decided to put Gujarat Titans into bat, Mustafizur Rahman removed Matthew Wade. However, that did not deter Shubman Gill, who steered the GT innings.
Shubman Gill smashed 6 fours and four sixes in an enthralling inning. He looked good for a hundred but perished to Khaleel Ahmed for a 46-ball 84. Gill was on course for his maiden IPL hundred but the innings ended in heartbreak for the young batter, best for Delhi. On his way out, DC spinner Kuldeep Yadav patted Gill on the back for the special innings.
Vijay Shankar, batting at No.3, failed again but GT skipper Hardik Pandya played another cameo. His 27-ball 31 was instrumental in keeping GT on track for a competitive total. David Miller and Rahul Tewatia scored some quick runs down the order as Gujarat Titans finished on 171 for 6 off their 20 overs.
