Lucknow: The 40th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 was played between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. In this match, a shameful record was registered in the name of Gujarat fast bowler Mohit Sharma. He has now become the most expensive bowler in IPL history. Let us tell you that in this match, GT had decided to bowl first after winning the toss but Delhi captain Rishabh Pant proved his decision wrong.
