Commentary

That's all that we have from the Indian Premier League for you today. We'll be back with another blockbuster clash in the evening tomorrow as the Sunrisers Hyderabad with a rampant batting line-up host the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Join us right here on Sportskeeda for you coverage of the game, and a lot more! This is Rajarshi Das, signing off on behalf of Arya Sekhar Chakraborty. Good night - see you tomorrow!

These high-scoring matches never cease to amaze us, do they? Another 220-playing-220 contest, but it's a bowler who has the final say! Mukesh Kumar was skeptical of the impact player rule in an event organized by the Delhi Capitals a few days back - he sure had a statement of sorts to make as a bowler, and he sure did deliver in a crunch moment!

The Capitals have moved off the bottom once again, toppling the Gujarat Titans while at it. With a game coming up against an off-colour Mumbai Indians at home, they'll feel all the more optimistic of adding to that points tally. A case of so near, yet so far for the Gujarat Titans - Miller an Rashid took them agonizingly close, but that last over in the first innings from Mohit Sharma will come back to haunt them. They'll meet the Royal Challengers Bengaluru next at their own home turf on Sunday.

Rishabh Pant has been adjudged the Player Of The Match for his stellar knock of 88 off 43! Here's what he has to say: We have seen before that Nortje's have had a bit of tough time. T20 is a funny game, the ball was coming onto the bat nicely from the 13th over in the second innings. Bowlers did a fantastic job. The only thought process behind that (Mukesh in the last over) is that when someone is bowling well, you should trust them and give them that over. As a captain, you feel some instinct, and you've got to follow it. It will come off sometimes, it won't in the others. Hopefully, it worked today. At 43 for 3, the only conversation between me and Axar was to keep going and get 8 and 9 an over. We knew if we target their main spinners, that's how they play - both their spinners handle the middle overs. We talked if we get something we've got to take it on, and that's what we did. The more I stay in the ground, each and every day I feel better. I like to give my 100 percent, but coming off a long time everyday matters to me, every hour does. I just love being on the field. One six in a match opens my heart every match, whenever I hit a six. At the same time, each and every match, loving it on the field. Try to do each and every thing possible from my side, and keep enjoying every day.

Kuldeep Yadav: Happy to get the win. The two points were very important. We held our nerves in the end. What a match. I mean obviously we had a plan. Coach and captain wanted one over when Tewatia came to bat. The wicket there put us in a very good position. You have to read the batters and what they are trying to do. 225 is obviously a good total. I didn't want to try much. Keep my basics right and bowl in the right line and lengths. Few balls to him within the wicket made me feel that he could go for the big. It was a good plan with Rishabh and we got the wicket.

Shubman Gill (Gujarat Titans captain): Ah I think we played some really good cricket but disappointed to lose this game. But at no point we thought we were out of it. You don't have much to discuss when you are chasing 225, it's just about going out there and keep playing your shots. I think impact player has a bit of role in that. When you lose a few wickets in the middle overs they know the impact player can do the job. Honestly at one stage we believed that we could restrict them to 200. We gave away a few extra runs in the last three overs. However at the halfway mark we thought at this smallish ground, that was chaseable. I think execution becomes very important when there is a set batter or a finisher. You have to execute your skills if there is nothing on the wicket. You have to execute your plans, if you don't do that it's a difficult game for the bowlers.

Match summary:

Delhi Capitals win by 4 runs

Rishabh Pant 88*(43) | Rasikh Salam Dar 3/44 (4)
Bhardwaj Sai Sudharsan 65(39) | Sandeep Warrier 3/15 (3)

What a humdinger! The game seemed gone with four overs remaining in the chase, but up stepped Killer-Miller. Nortje came at him with steam, Miller met him with actual fire, and the ball went flying all around! Miller made a seemingly impossible equation seem possible within the space of that 17th over from Nortje as 24 came from it. Rashid kept the onslaught going - the Titans were firm favorites all along in the last four, but Mukesh Kumar held his nerve at the exact correct moment, delivered a yorker, and Rashid couldn't get under it.

The Titans were off to a scratchy, yet effective start as Wriddhiman Saha and Sai Sudharsan made the most of the fielding restrictions in the powerplay. Saha kept getting away with little to no timing on the ball on several occasions, finding and clearing the ropes, while Sudharsan was much more immaculate with his timing and placement. The duo helped GT notch up 67 in the powerplay after Gill departed 9 balls into the run-chase.

While the Capitals were a touch sloppy with their ground fielding, they sure did turn up with their catching! Axar Patel leapt full stretch and clung onto a chance offered by Saha, who looked out of sorts after the powerplay. Jake Fraser-McGurk produced an even better effort to claim Azmatullah Omarzai, running in from deep mid wicket and flinging himself forward to catch a high ball. Sai Sudharsan, though, kept piling the runs amidst all this, and alongside David Miller, seemed set to take the game deep.

Axar took his third catch of the day to dismiss Sudharsan off Rasikh Salam as the left-hander tried to clear long off and failed. The Capitals proceeded to apply the squeeze going into the final four overs, and it was left to David Miller to conjure some magic. The South African veteran sure didn't disappoint, meeting Nortje with fire, plundering three sixes, a boundary and bringing up a half-century of his own in the process.

Miller threatened to take the game away in the 18th over from Mukesh, but his wicket halfway through the over brought along a fresh twist in the tale. So did Sai Kishore's cameo in the middle - the tall, gangly left-hander struck a couple of sixes off Dar before being castled off the final ball of the penultimate over. Mukesh Kumar was under immense pressure having been handed the ball, more so after Rashid found the fence twice, but a stroke of fortune and a perfectly-executed yorker helped him and the Delhi Capitals seal a memorable win.

And Mukesh delivers! Pant wanted the ball from the deep to complete the run out eventually - doesn't quite matter, the batters might not have completed the single either!

19.6 Mukesh Kumar to Rashid Khan, WICKET! It will be a run out to finish but buoy what a game of cricket. Mukesh sticks to his strength and goes for the middle stump yorker, the length was good and Rashid wasn't able to get under that. Squeezes it away towards the widish long-on region and didn't bother to complete the single. What a match and DC somehow managed to get themselves back in it and wins it on the final delivery.

That's one six! Another full toss, and Rashid doesn't miss out this time! Right then - 5 needed off the last ball...
