IPL 2025: Gujarat Titans Sweep Delhi Capitals aside by 10 Wickets to Confirm Playoff Position

Gujarat Titans produced a masterful demonstration of might in the Arun Jaitley Stadium, beating Delhi Capitals by 10 wickets in Match 60 of the Indian Premier League 2025. The one-sided victory not only confirmed GT’s playoff position but left DC’s chances perilously at the edge of the knife.

Deciding to bat first after toss, the Titans were welcomed by a good bat from Delhi Capitals. KL Rahul, DC captain, batted immaculately and remained unbeaten on a century, leading his team from the front. Rahul’s sensible but aggressive batting and beautiful strokeplay took Delhi to a fighting score of 199/3 in 20 overs. Rahul’s century was a legendary one because he became the first right-hander to make a century in IPL 2025.

While Delhi’s total score was impressive, Gujarat Titans proved why they’re such a good team this season. Opening duo Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan humbled the hosts with an unbeaten opening partnership which redefined the record books. While chasing 200, both of them were still intact, taking their side to 205/0 in 19 overs, leaving behind a humiliating defeat for DC.

Sudharsan was the pick of the lot, blasting a blistering hundred in pressure situations. Gill was the ideal foil, stabilizing the ship with refinement and finesse. Delhi bowlers stood there wide-eyed while the Titans sailed to victory, having a ball turning what appeared to be a war-hardened score into minced meat.

This victory pushed Gujarat Titans into the playoffs, solidifying their stranglehold this season. The blemish-free chase not only enhanced their net run rate but also gave a clear signal to their probable opponents in the elimination rounds.

In the meantime, the loss was a massive setback for Delhi Capitals’ playoff prospects. Even after the best of Rahul’s efforts, the failure of the middle-order to bring in anything and the bowling weakness rendered all their efforts futile. This loss has tarnished the hopes of DC making it to the final four, and their fate now rests on others’ shoulders.

The game also saw top reshuffling in the IPL 2025 table and player performances chart. Sudharsan and Gill moved up the Orange Cap rankings, and Rahul’s hundred placed him in the top run-getters this season.

The title favorites now are Gujarat Titans as the league stage reaches its end. Delhi Capitals’ destiny is hanging in the balance and not an easy one.
