Yet another last over thriller ensued in the IPL 2024 on Wednesday with Delhi Capitals coming out victorious against Gujarat Titans.

Rishabh Pant virtually sealed his spot as India's first choice wicketkeeper for the T20 World Cup with a belligerent unbeaten half-century in Delhi Capitals' narrow four-run win over Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday. Skipper Pant and Axar Patel forged a blistering stand of 113 runs off 68 balls en route to quickfire individual half-centuries to power DC to 224 for 4 in their must-win game. In reply, Sai Sudarshan (65 off 29 ) and David Miller (55 off 23) scored fifties, while Rashid Khan hit a 11-ball 21 not out but still couldn't take GT over the line, finishing at 220 for 8 in their 20 overs.
Any discussion on the IPL 2024, these days, is almost always followed by whether any particular player is good enough for the T20 World Cup 2024 or not. The T20 World Cup will follow the IPL 2024 and the Indian cricket team for the marquee event will be announced in a week. There is a stiff competition all the the slots but going by form, it seems Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant has all but sealed his spot as the no. 1 wicketkeeper-batter.
DC vs GT Live Updates, IPL 2024: Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill won the toss and opted to bowl first against Delhi Capitals in an IPL 2024 game at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday. It is the 100th IPL match for Gill. DC have dropped David Warner for Shai Hope replaces him while Sumit Kumar replaced Lalit Yadav. Rishabh Pant's leadership skills will be under scrutiny as a struggling DC seek a much-improved performance from their bowlers in the match against an inconsistent GT.

Rishabh Pant looked like a battered man on Saturday. He had every reason to feel so. His team had just been at the receiving of a 67-run thrashing by SunRisers Hyderabad, after conceding 266/7 in 20 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. DC were all out for 199 as the Pant-led side slumped to its fifth loss in eight games to be placed seventh in the 10-team league. DC have blown hot-and-cold this season so far. With the IPL reaching halfway stage, DC's road to playoffs has become quite tough.
The SunRisers Hyderabad batters came out all guns blazing against Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2024. Travis Head (89, 32b) and Abhishek Sharma (46, 12b) went on a rampage against DC at their home-ground as they threatened to slam new records with their batting. And they did break records. Thanks to their fiery knocks, SRH reached 125 in six overs. This is the first time in the history of T20 cricket that any team has reached 125-mark in the power-play of a T20 innings.
Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant lived up to the 'babysitter' tag once given to him by former Australia skipper Tim Paine during a recent event. In a video posted by DC on their official Instagram handle, Pant can be seen sharing a heartwarming moment with the kids of the team's overseas players in the ongoing IPL 2024. The video went viral on social media with a lot of cricket fans getting reminded of the incident that led to Paine coming up with the 'babysitter' sledge. It happened during India's tour of Australia in 2019 when Paine asked Pant whether he could babysit for him and his wife after the series has ended.
Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant couldn't get going as the team looked to chase down 'record' total of 267 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on Saturday. It was young Australian Jake Fraser-McGurk, whose 18-ball 65 gave DC some hope of getting near SRH's total but other batters failed to match his tempo. In terms of the number of balls, Pant lasted the longest on the crease, scoring 35-ball 44 but the pace of his knock left much to desire.
