Welcome back for the run chase folks! The two GT openers are out in the middle and we are ready for live action..

STAT:

A spinner introduced for the first time in the 20th over in IPL (1st inns)
2/3 - Sanath Jayasuriya (MI) vs RR, Durban, 2009
0/14 - Rohit Sharma (Deccan Chargers) vs MI, Mumbai DYP, 2010
1/9 - R Sai Kishore (GT) vs DC, Ahmedabad, 2025
*In the second instance, Rohit Sharma came in to bowl after Jaskaran Singh had bowled two consecutive waist-high no-balls. The over went for 20 runs.

This is the second time DC have scored 200-plus without a single individual 50-plus score in the IPL, after 207/8 vs RR in Mumbai (WS) in 2022.

Prasidh Krishna: The wicket was nice to bat on. The pace of the wicket was very easy for the batter to get used to. Was tough for us to turn up as bowlers. for the batters. Fielding didn't really help in those conditions. We have restricted them to a decent score. Looking to hit the length. Tried to use the pitch a little more. Worked out for me today. Anything in length was going for runs. Backed my yorker today and it came out well. It was really really hot. The intensity and pressure in a game is very hard to handle in such conditions. Sai finished off really well. Credit to Ishant. He bowled dots and kept the lid on the runs.

17:36 Local Time, 12:06 GMT, 17:36 IST: That's a really competitive total posted by the Delhi Capitals having been put in to bat first by the Titans, but they should have got a little more given the start they got off. Their openers got them off to a quick start in the powerplay and the batters who followed next - most of them chipped in with handy cameos throughout the innings. Rashid Khan struggled once again as he leaked quite a few runs and dropped a couple of chances as well. Prasidh Krish bowled an impressive spell as he claimed four wickets, but Ashutosh Sharma punished him in his final over by scoring a couple of sixes on the trot. It was an impactful knock by the finisher as he helped the Delhi Capitals breach the 200-run mark. The GT batters are in good form, will they be able to chase this target down against a bowling that has Starc and Kuldeep? Back in 10 minutes for the second essay with the reply.
