GT vs DC: Rishabh Pant takes wrong call at toss, corrects himself immediately

A light incident took place at the toss during the 10th game of IPL 2022 between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Delhi Capitals (DC). Rishabh Pant won the toss and faultily elected to bat first. Notably, Rishabh Pant-led Delhi are up against the Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat. Within seconds after taking the call, the wicketkeeper-batter realized he called it out wrongly and corrected himself.

The DC skipper wanted to bowl first but got confused while making the call.  After winning the toss, when presenter Danny Morrison asked Rishabh what he’d like to choose and why, the southpaw said that he’d like to bat, and then went on to change his decision to bowl.

“We would like to bat ohhh bowl first!,” said Pant. Hearing this, Hardik Pandya broke out in laughter while Morrison jokingly asked him, not once but twice, if his decision to bowl was final. “You sure you wanna bowl first?”, asked Morrison to check if Pant had made up his mind. It was certainly a fun toss to witness.

“This year we have a different bowling line-up and want to bowl first. When we were batting first in the last game, initially we were under pressure and were at ease as the innings went on. We have one change, Nagarkoti is out and Mustafizur comes in for him,” Pant further added after winning the toss.

Meanwhile, DC and GT are playing the second match of the day. The first game was played between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals where the latter thrashed the former to seal a 23-run victory.

The second match of the day is taking place at the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune. Both the teams have come into the game after clinching a victory in their respective first games. As neither of the two sides have an IPL title in their cabinet, their target in this season will be common, and crystal clear.
