Opting to field first, the Capitals rolled over Gujarat Titans for 89 in 17.3 overs, the bowlers finally having a say after being blasted all over the park in the last few matches of the lucrative league.
Mukesh Kumar was the most successful bowler for DC with figures of 3/14, while there were two wickets apiece for Ishant Sharma (2/8) and Tristan Stubbs (2/11). As far as GT batting is concerned, only Rashid Khan put up a semblance of resistance with a 24-ball 31.
Chasing 90, DC completed the formality in just 8.5 overs to register their third win and give their run rate a boost.
What also stood out on the day was Pant's leadership and his work behind the stumps.
The flamboyant keeper-batter was sharp and agile while wearing the big gloves and performed a quick stumping besides pulling off an incredible catch diving full stretch.
With the T20 World Cup around the corner, Pant's dexterity behind the stumps is a very good sign for Indian cricket. Pant (16 off 11 balls) was also in the middle when the winning runs were hit.
