The Gujarat Titans rattled the Delhi Capitals bowling line and recorded a resounding 10-wicket victory thanks to a commanding 205-run stand between captain Shubman Gill and opener Sai Sudarshan.

The Gujarat-based team advanced to the top of the table and earned a spot in the IPL 2025 playoffs with this victory. Out of their 12 games, they have 18 points. However, with 13 points from 12 games, the Axar Patel-led team continued to hold the fifth position in the IPL 2025 points standings.

At the press conference following the game, the 25-year-old player commented on his team’s victory, saying, “It feels fantastic to be able to get that Q on the board. However, we still have two crucial games to play in order to gain momentum going into the playoffs. It feels great, and I’ve mentioned it a few times: when I bat, I want to play and think like a batsman rather than a captain. Last season was a learning experience for me because I was captain for the first time, and the back end realized it.”
