DC beat the table toppers GT by defending a small score of 130 runs in IPL 2023. At 23/5 after Mohammed Shami’s outstanding opening spell, it seemed like the game was done and dusted but the likes of Axar, Aman, who hit his maiden T20 half-century, and Ripal Patel helped the visitors to get to a decent score.

Steyn praised Ishan –

Having only 130 to play with against the defending champions GT, DC needed early wickets to push the game in their favour. And wickets they got as Ishant Sharma, Anrich Nortje and Khaleel Ahmed struck in the powerplay to reduce the hosts to 26/3 after five overs.

Okay, Ishant just bowled the best knuckle ball wicket I’ve ever seen!

While many reckoned that it was the ball of the season. Former South Africa pacer and current Sunrisers Hyderabad bowling coach, Dale Steyn couldn’t stop praising it. Steyn wrote this on his Twitter handle.

Ishan dismissed Shankar –

The last of the three dismissals was due to a peach of a knuckleball from Ishant Sharma. The veteran came over the wicket to right-handed Vijay Shankar, who was completely bamboozled. Looking for a flick, Shankar missed the ball altogether as the ball crashed into the middle and off stump.
