Gujarat Titans became the first team to seal a spot in the IPL 2025 playoffs after a commanding 10-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The massive win also paved the way for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) to secure their places in the playoffs.
With this result, Delhi Capitals are now on the brink of elimination and could be knocked out as early as next Wednesday if other results don’t go their way.
