David Warner-led Delhi Capitals (DC) registered their third win of the season by defeating defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) by 5 runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Not many would have thought that the pitch at the world’s largest cricket stadium would be on the slow side as Gujarat Titans played host to Delhi Capitals. Aman Hakim Khan’s career-best first half-century after Mohammed Shami’s career-best bowling helped Delhi Capitals recover from a very poor start to score 130 for eight in the Indian Premier League against Gujarat Titans here on Tuesday. In this match, the Delhi team won by performing with a bang.
