The 32nd Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) match between the Gujarat Titans (GT) and Delhi Capitals (DC) took place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. David Warner did not get the start for Delhi; therefore, Rishabh Pant won the toss and elected to bowl first.
In contrast, Wriddhiman Saha and David Miller returned to the Gujarat Titans’ lineup, marking three changes for the team. While Sandeep Warrier made his IPL debut for the Titans, Umesh Yadav was given a break.
Powerplay: Overs 0.1–6 (Required–30/4)
The Delhi Capitals bowlers defended their captain’s choice to take the opening pitch. Ishant Sharma eliminated the risky Shubman Gill for eight. Then, as Sai Sudharsan was run out for twelve, Mukesh Kumar bowled Wriddhiman Saha for two. After that, Ishant Sharma claimed his second wicket, trapping David Miller for two runs behind Pant.
First Strategic Time-out for Gujarat Titans (47/5 from 8.3 overs)
After joining Abhinav Manohar, Rahul Tewatia added 17 runs for the fifth wicket. Manohar, a right-hander, struck Tristan Stubbs, who was bowling the ninth over, for a four. Rishabh Pant stumped the GT hitter the very next ball, thanks to the South African.
50 runs from 8.5 overs for Gujarat Titans
The home team lost half of their side before the tenth over, so their suffering didn’t stop at the bat. Shah Rukh Khan and Abhinav Manohar were both victims of Tristan Stubbs’ two crucial wickets, which greatly aided Sai Sudharsan.

Second Strategic time-out for Gujarat Titans (75/7 from 14 overs)
The Titans failed to get going and had an absolutely dismal batting performance. The bowlers for the Delhi Capitals took full advantage of the great pitch to put the host team on the back foot.
Gujarat Titans score 89/10 from 17.3 overs at the end of the innings.
Only Rashid Khan made the decision to challenge the Delhi bowlers, scoring 31 in the process. The Titans had their lowest IPL team total when Mukesh Kumar bowled them out at the close of the innings with two wickets.
