"Petrol Khatam Ho Chuka Tha": Mohammed Shami's Hilarious Take On 4-For Against Delhi Capitals

Gujarat Titans (GT) ace bowler Mohammed Shami displayed sensational form with the ball as he picked up 4 wickets giving away only 11 runs in the process against Delhi Capitals (DC). During the mid-innings break when he was asked if he wanted to bowl more, Shami came up with a witty reply. "Nahi nahi, petrol khatam ho chuka tha (I have given it my all and bowled four on the trot)," said Shami after becoming the Purple Cap holder.

With his impressive performance, Shami bagged the Man of the Match award but it wasn't enough to seal the game for the title defenders.

GT had the worst possible start while chasing 131 as they ended up losing three crucial wickets of Wriddhiman Saha, Shubman Gill and Vijay Shankar in the powerplay. Skipper Hardik Pandya tried to pull GT back into the game but it wasn't enough as they kept losing wickets at the other end at regular intervals.

"I felt we should have chased this. The mistake was losing wickets at regular intervals, we needed partnerships and they came too late for us. However, plenty of games left. Such things happen," Shami said after the match.

Chasing 131, Gujarat Titans were dealt with an early blow as Wriddhiman Saha was caught behind off Khaleel who bowled a fantastic wicket maiden. Khaleel beat Saha's outside edge multiple times before finally getting him to edge one to the keeper via terrific swing bowling.

Hardik Pandya went on the counter-attack in the third over from Khaleel, thumping three fours but GT found themselves two down in the next over as Anrich Nortje had Gill (6 off 7) caught at covers off an uppish drive. Ishant Sharma then produced a beautiful knuckleball to the castle in-form Vijay Shankar and reduce GT to 26/3.

GT stuttered to 31/3 at the end of the
