Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant apologized to one of the camerapersons at the Arun Jaitley Stadium after their victory over Gujarat Titans on Wednesday (April 24).

Capitals won a thriller against the Titans in a crucial IPL 2024 match. It was a much-needed victory for them which keeps them in the hunt for the playoffs.

Delhi Capitals scored 224 runs after batting first and captain Rishabh Pant played a brilliant knock. The 26-year-old scored 88 runs off just 43 balls and hit 5 fours and 8 sixes in the match.

He went berserk on Mohit Sharma in the final over, scoring 30 runs off it. The southpaw has been in decent form this season, but the knock against GT is the best of him so far. He hit three sixes in the final three balls of DC innings, which inflicted Mohit Sharma with the worst bowling figure in IPL history. And during his batting blitzkrieg, Pant hit a cameraperson as one of his sixes hit the IPL broadcasting stuff.

After the match, Rishabh Pant came to the pitch and apologized to the cameraperson. DC coach Ricky Ponting pointed out the area where the person was sitting, and Pant had a message for the cameraperson, who is named Debasish.

"Sorry Debasish bhai, didn't intend to hit you but I think you can recover well and Good Luck," Pant said.

It was an excellent victory for DC who needed to win to keep their playoff hopes alive. They scored 97 runs in the last five overs and ended up winning by just 4 runs. With the win, DC moved up to 6th in the points table.
