Sujith Kallem: "Is Mohit's today's bowling the most expensive in IPL?" --- Yup, his 73 runs off four overs are the most expensive by anyone in IPL history

RR: "Rishabh and Stubbs' batting reminded me of how you play in stick cricket" --- The only difference being that we could only bat second there!

Axar Patel: "It is a phenomenal effort. It was a fantastic finish. That's what we were talking about when we were in the middle. I had gone in [early] because those three spinners would have brought it into me. When Rishabh came in, we thought of taking it deep. Some balls were skidding through. It's important to have a good mindset in front of bowlers like Rashid and Noor. If you look to see through their bowlers and aren't able to attack the others, then you are trapped. We thought 170-180 would be enough when we lost early wickets, but now we feel this is enough."

Shankar Thiru: "Pant just booked his flight to the Americas!!"

9.12pm If there were any questions regarding Pant's place in India's squad for the T20 World Cup, they have been entirely quashed. He finishes on 88* off 43 balls, including eight sixes and five fours. Everything looked so effortless and yet so impactful - in short, it looked like Pant was batting at his best. He set the platform with Axar, who creamed 66 off 43 balls after being promoting up to No. 3, before Stubbs wrapped things up with 26* from only seven. A batter-friendly IPL 2024 continues, as GT are set 225 to win. Join us for the chase in ten.

Sharma to Pant, SIX, finishes off in style! Creamed over deep square leg! The last over gives DC 31 runs. Mohit went on the shorter side of a length around off, and Pant swivelled again to slam that just past the boundary
19.5
6
Sharma to Pant, SIX, another full toss... and another huge six! This goes a long way up into the sky before landing beyond the long-on boundary. Mohit went back to going for the yorker, but Pant is standing outside of his crease. Pant swings incredibly well for another six
19.4
6
Sharma to Pant, SIX, almost a no-look six! He swivels to pull, and the ball is over fine leg even before he has swivelled entirely. Mohit followed a yorker with a bouncer arriving on middle, and Pant hooked powerfully
19.3
4
Sharma to Pant, FOUR, he loses his balance, but it is four! He is Pant, after all. Reaches out for this yorker-length ball which is angling across to finish wide of off. He opens the face of the bat, though, and manages to crash it to deep backward point even as he falls on his knee
19.2
6
Sharma to Pant, SIX, goes through Shahrukh's hands! Some luck for Pant and DC. Shahrukh had his hands above his head and jumped a little at long-on, but the ball still breached them. Pant got another low full toss on the stumps, and he swung liberally for another six, even as it came off the lower half of the bat

Sharma to Pant, 1 wide, bowls full, and really wide of off. Pant looked to get across pretty late, and it is called wide
19.1
2
Sharma to Pant, 2 runs, well fielded by Sai, who moves and dives to his left from deep point! He keeps it to two, as Pant looked to loft this slower ball, which was on a full length, and wide-ish of off. No pace to work with for Pant, though

6
Sai Kishore to Stubbs, SIX, smashed over long-on! GT were hiding Sai all this while, waiting for a right-hander to arrive, but Stubbs shows what he can do to spin. Again clears his front leg, and clubs this length ball angling into the stumps for a huge hit
18.5

Sai Kishore to Stubbs, FOUR, finds the gap again between long-off and deep point! He swats at this short-of-a-length ball around sixth stump, and rams that wide of long-off

Sai Kishore to Stubbs, SIX, just clears deep square leg! Sai angled this in, and bowled another full toss. This one dipped on middle, but Stubbs had his front leg out of the way in swiping at that
18.3
4
Sai Kishore to Stubbs, FOUR, drilled between long-off and deep point! Seemed like Sai went for a variation, and bowled full and wide of off. Neither fielder moved, as Stubbs thrashed that back

Aziz: "Pant doesn't look like he was out of competitive cricket for 2 years"

Sai Kishore to Stubbs, 1 run, full and wide of off, and he leans into pushing this to deep point

Sai Kishore into the attack to bowl the 19th. A right-hander's presence helps Gill introduce Sai. From around to Stubbs.

Sharma to Pant, SIX, the bat turns in his hands, but it doesn't matter! Fifty for Pant! Mohit bowls a dipping, low full toss on middle and off, and Pant has a hoick at this by going across the line, and lofting over long-on

Noor Ahmad to Patel, OUT, taken at long-on! Axar went for another heave, but this time hit only flat without any distance. Sai Kishore takes with his hands going low. Noor bowled on a length, and went for a googly again. This was bowled outside off, as Axar picked it up to swing across the line but mistimed

Noor Ahmad to Patel, SIX, pumped down the ground! Another huge six. This is superb from Axar, as he spots this fullish ball dipping on off. This is a googly, but Axar plays early and presents the full face of the bat to send it soaring
16.4
6
Noor Ahmad to Patel, SIX, massive six! A clean swing of the bat, as he goes over deep midwicket. Gets down on his back knee, and clubs this length ball on fourth stump, which hints to turn in
