Veteran commentator Aakash Chopra has said that the IPL 2024 clash between the Delhi Capitals (DC) and the Gujarat Titans (GT) virtually ended as soon as it started as well. DC bundled the Titans out for 89 in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, April 17 as well and then chased down the target with six wickets and 67 balls to spare as well.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra said, “The match started and it ended. Delhi won the toss and decided to bowl. Wickets fell one after the after. Whoever came to bat, got out, and whoever came to bowl, picked up wickets, whether it was Ishant Sharma, Mukesh Kumar or Khaleel Ahmed. The only bowler who didn’t get a wicket was Kuldeep Yadav. The innings folded up at 89. You scored very few runs and no one’s bat fired. Rashid Khan scored a few runs. Sai Sudharsan was on a suicide mission. He ran after tying a shroud and got run out, and the team got bowled out very quickly.”

While talking about that Rashid Khan was the only GT batter to score runs, the veteran commentator also said that Sai Sudharsan threw away his wicket while attempting a non-existent single as well. However, Rashid Khan top-scored for the Titans with a 24-ball 31 and Sudharsan (12 off 9) was the second-highest run-scorer as well.

“When it was the turn to bat, Delhi came with a fantastic approach and they roared. Jake Fraser-McGurk started with a six. He felt it wasn’t cricket but baseball. So he came and hit sixes but got out. After that, Sandeep Warrier dismissed Prithvi Shaw with a bouncer,” Aakash Chopra concluded. “Then I didn’t understand why Sandeep Warrier was given a third over because I felt Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad would be brought early. He picked up a wicket in that over, dismissed Abhishek Porel, but conceded 23 runs as well. After that, Rashid came and Shai Hope got out. Then Rishabh Pant was there with Sumit Kumar, and the match got over.”
