AHEMADABAD: Aman Khan, an all-rounder for Delhi Capitals, praised his team's effort for shocking Gujarat Titans in a low-scoring Indian Premier Leauge match, with his first fifty paving the way for the nail-biting five-run victory.

Aman saved his team with a 44-ball 51, studded with three sixes and as many fours, as the Delhi Capitals were in trouble at 23 for five when he came in at No. 7. Delhi's total was raised to 130 for 8 thanks to his performance and a handful of partnerships, including 50 runs with Akshar Patel (27), for the sixth wicket, and 53 runs with Ripal Patel (23).

In response, defending champions Gujarat Titans could only make 125 for six despite an unbeaten 59 from Hardik Pandya and late heroics from Rahul Tewatia (20 off 7 balls, 3x6s). "Gujarat Titans is on top of the table, they are high on confidence so our bowlers also had to bowl really well to defend that total," Aman told the media after Delhi secured a thrilling 5-run victory. "It is a collective effort but the last over that Ishant Sharma bowled he looked very confident and a lot of credit goes to him for winning this match.

“The last month has been tough as games have not gone our way. We have lost a couple of close games and I don’t know how the qualification looks like but we are looking to win all games from here.” Aman revealed he was not slated to play but was drafted into the side as Mitchell Marsh was ill.
