DC skipper David Warner survives after the ball hits the stumps – IPL 2023, DC vs GT

The seventh match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between the reigning champion Gujarat Titans (GT) and Delhi Capitals (DC) is now taking place in New Delhi at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The opening over of the game nearly resulted in the dismissal of DC starter and skipper David Warner by GT pacer Mohammed Shami.

Warner was astounded by Shami’s flawless swing bowling abilities. The batsman was caught off guard when the right-arm fast bowler bowled a ball that was just above the length but moved away abruptly. The Titans were sure they had their man when the ball flew past the goalkeeper and went straight for an appeal. The umpire denied the request, thus the Titans chose not to have the judgment reviewed. Replays, however, revealed that the ball just touched the stumps and did not clear the bails. The GT players were shocked by this information and angry that they had missed out on getting Warner for a prized wicket.
