[Watch] Rishabh Pant executes 2 brilliant stumpings in a flash during GT vs DC IPL 2024 clash
Delhi Capitals (DC) captain Rishabh Pant executed two sharp stumpings to dismiss Gujarat Titans (GT) batters Abhinav Manohar and Shahrukh Khan in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 clash at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday (April 17). With that, the visitors left Gujarat reeling at 48/6 after 8.4 overs.
For the unversed, Pant's stumpings came in the ninth over of GT's innings. Tristan Stubbs bowled a slider and it went past Manohar past the outside edge. Pant was quick to dislodge the zing bails and Manohar was caught on the crease when the stumps were lit while dragging his feet back.
In the same over, Stubbs bowled a wide delivery down the leg side and the ball hit Pant's gloves before hitting the stumps. Shahrukh, who was trying to play a sweep shot, was caught short of the crease.
