Gujarat Titans have officially qualified for the IPL 2025 playoffs after a sensational 10-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
The Titans made an emphatic statement as they chased down a massive target of 200 runs in just 19 overs without losing a single wicket. With this win, Gujarat climbed to the top of the points table with 18 points from 12 matches.
Gujarat Titans lead the playoff race
After this win, Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Punjab Kings have all secured their places in the playoffs. RCB and Punjab are currently tied with 17 points each.
The final playoff spot is still up for grabs, with Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals, and Lucknow Super Giants fighting for the last remaining position.
Sudharsan and Gill power Gujarat Titans to victory
In one of the most dominant run-chases of the season, Sai Sudharsan starred for GT with an unbeaten 108 off 61 balls, smashing 12 fours and 4 sixes. He was well-supported by skipper Shubman Gill, who hammered 93* from 53 balls with 3 fours and 7 sixes.
Their unbroken 200-run partnership ensured a flawless chase that left Delhi Capitals stunned.
Delhi Capitals’ effort in vain
Earlier, Delhi Capitals posted a challenging total of 199/3 after being put into bat. KL Rahul played a captain’s knock, scoring an unbeaten 112 runs. However, the total proved insufficient against Titans’ aggressive batting display.
With this result, Gujarat Titans have not only confirmed their playoff spot but also sent a strong message to their rivals as the tournament nears its final stages.
