Gujarat Titans secured a playoff spot with a commanding 10-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals, thanks to Sai Sudharsan's century and Shubman Gill's solid performance. Chasing 200, they made it look easy, highlighting their strength as title contenders. Delhi's KL Rahul shone with a century, but his team faltered, leaving their playoff hopes in jeopardy.
The 60th match of IPL 2025 was played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, where Gujarat Titans crushed Delhi Capitals by 10 wickets in a one-sided contest. With this win, Gujarat not only earned two crucial points but also confirmed their place in the playoffs.
Delhi won the toss and chose to bat first, posting a total of 199 runs in 20 overs. The standout performer for Delhi was KL Rahul, who scored a brilliant century, anchoring the innings and taking his team to a solid total. However, the rest of the Delhi batting lineup couldn’t offer much support.
In reply, Gujarat’s opening pair — Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill — came out all guns blazing. Sudharsan smashed a match-winning century, while Gill supported him with a fluent knock. The duo made the chase look effortless, scoring the required 200 runs without losing a single wicket.
This dominant win showed that Gujarat Titans are not just playoff contenders but also a strong title threat. Their planning, balanced team structure, and confident approach were clearly visible throughout the game.
On the other hand, this loss was a major setback for Delhi Capitals. Despite Rahul’s heroic effort, the rest of the batting lineup failed to capitalize, and the bowlers struggled to create any pressure. The bowling lacked direction and discipline, allowing Gujarat’s openers to dominate.
Gujarat Titans will now face Chennai Super Kings on May 24, where they’ll aim to continue their winning form. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals take on Mumbai Indians on May 21, and must win that game to keep their playoff hopes alive.
This match once again highlighted a simple truth about T20 cricket — it’s not about individual brilliance alone. Teamwork, balance, and performing under pressure are what separate champions from the rest.
