Sumit Kumar played the first match of the season.
3. Umpire got confused due to Shahrukh’s stumping.
Gujarat’s Shahrukh Khan’s wicket fell due to the stumping of Rishabh Pant. Tristan Stubbs bowled a round the wicket short ball in the 9th over. Shahrukh went ahead and tried to play the shot. During this the ball spun towards the leg side and he missed the shot. Rishabh Pant failed to catch the ball cleanly behind the stumps, but the ball slipped from his hand and hit the stumps.
Shahrukh was clearly out of his crease but there was doubt whether Pant’s glove or the ball hit first. Pant took the gloves near the stumps, but the bails came only when the ball hit the stumps and ultimately, the third umpire gave him out.

4. Rishabh Pant did quick stumping of Abhinav
Pant showed alertness during the ninth over of GT’s innings. Abhinav Manohar, batting on 8 runs from 14 balls, tried to push the length ball but was beaten. During this, the Delhi captain standing behind the wicket did the stumping at a fast pace and started celebrating. The field umpire went to the third umpire before giving the decision.

Rishabh Pant made 2 stumpings and 2 catches.
