Gujarat Titans made history in style, chasing down a 200-run target with an over to spare and without losing a single wicket. It’s only the second time in all of T20 cricket that a team has pulled off a 200+ chase without losing a wicket ft. the sheer dominance of Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan. The emphatic win sealed GT’s spot in the playoffs. With RCB and Punjab Kings also entering the playoffs, it is just one playoff berth left between DC, MI and Lucknow Super Giants.

Sai Sudharsan shows no signs of slowing down. And he gets his century on Kuldeep's second delivery with a cracking sixer. This is his second IPL century. What an innings he has played tonight. The Gujarat openers has maintained out-n-out dominance over the rival DC at their home turf. GT need 6 runs off 12 balls.

Mustafizur is welcomed for this over with two consecutive boundaries by SS. Interestingly, Gill and SS have etched their names into IPL history, becoming the highest-scoring Indian pair in a single season. According to ESPN, the Gujarat Titans duo have amassed a record-breaking 768 runs in the 2025 season so far, surpassing the previous best of 744 runs set by Delhi’s Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw in 2021.

Gill brings up his fifty in style — his first boundary of the innings comes after 33 balls, but it’s worth the wait. Chameera serves up a juicy full toss and Gill absolutely drills it straight back with such ferocity that Chameera’s lucky his head wasn’t in the line of fire.

Trying to compensate, Chameera follows up with a slower ball, but it’s too full and strays onto the pads — Gill needs no second invitation. He whips it effortlessly over square leg for his fifth six, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Sudharsan caps off the over with a graceful loft over cover for four. GT 134/0 (13)

Desperate for a breakthrough, Delhi Capitals turned to the DRS twice in two overs — a clear sign of rising pressure.

First, a caught-behind shout down leg: Sai Sudharsan tried to pull, Porel was certain there was a tickle. UltraEdge had other ideas — a faint touch, yes, but off the pad. Review gone.

Next over, Kuldeep Yadav slipped in a crafty googly that zipped past Sudharsan’s inside edge. It looked close — even live. The umpire wasn’t convinced. Axar hesitated, but Kuldeep insisted. Review number two. Ball-tracking showed umpire’s call on the stumps — not out again.

Moments later, Sudharsan rubbed salt in DC’s wounds with a well-timed sweep off Axar for four, raising a fluent fifty off just 30 balls. GT need 118 runs off 66 balls.

First up, Vipraj tosses one up to Gill — full and just outside off. Gill, calm as ever, leans into a graceful drive toward deep cover. No fireworks yet.

Then comes drama on ball two. Porel and Nigam go up in unison for a caught behind appeal — they’re convinced they’ve got their man! But the umpire stands unfazed. All eyes shift to Axar, who gives the nod for a review.

Nigam had dragged it short and strayed down leg. The ball nips in as Shubman swings hard. UltraEdge lights up... but it’s pad, not bat. A faint flicker confirms the ball clipped the thigh. DC burn a review. Overall an economical spell from Vipraj. GT 63/0 (7)

“Tough work seeing these boys bat, especially in the pressure situation we've gotten into. The break may have done us good after a wobble in the tournament. KL Rahul wanted to bat at the top; sometimes it doesn’t work, but a player of his quality – how good was that to watch? Watching players of that quality practice and bat is a privilege. We’ve got Mustafiz flying in today, Chameera, and Nattu returning from a shoulder injury to give a red-hot crack. There’s no dew yet. We didn’t start aggressively and haven’t been good in the powerplay, but we were much better this evening, cashing in during the back ten overs. We did that nicely and would have taken 200 runs with both hands at the start.”

Rahul followed that with another four, this time creaming a low full toss through extra cover with a beautifully timed shot.
