The wicketkeeper-batsman, who recently recovered from a tragic car crash in his hometown Dehradun, won the toss and opted to first. DC started well with David Warner’s terrific 52 off just 35 balls and Prithvi Shaw’s 43 in 27 balls. Following their dismissal, Pant also scored a thunderous 51 in 32 balls with four boundaries and three sixes taking the total score to 191/5 in 20 overs.

In the run-chase, CSK failed to live up to the expectations as DC bowlers Khaleel Ahmed and Mukesh Kumar troubled the Ruturaj Gaikwad Army. Despite useful knocks by Ajinkya Rahane and MS Dhoni, DC secured a comfortable 20-run win, restricting the five-time champions to 171/6 in 20 overs.
