Gujarat Titans secured their IPL playoff spot with a dominant 10-wicket win over Delhi Capitals in Delhi.
Openers Sai Sudharsan (108*) and Shubman Gill (93*) chased 200 easily, finishing unbeaten with six balls to spare.
KL Rahul scored a brilliant 112* as DC posted 199 for 3 on a slow, tricky pitch.
Rahul built key stands with Porel (30), Axar Patel (25), and Stubbs (21*), but support was limited as DC fell short.
Delhi's spin-pace opening plan backfired as GT raced to 31 runs in just two overs, putting DC under pressure early.
Sudharsan survived two close reviews and reached his century off 56 balls, powering the chase with powerful hitting.
Gill took control after the powerplay, smashing seven sixes and maintaining a strong scoring rate throughout.
Rahul’s 112* was his first IPL century this season and made him the first to score tons for three IPL franchises.
GT qualified for playoffs. With their win, PBKS and RCB also advanced. DC, LSG, and MI remain in the race.
Delhi Capitals scored 199/3 (Rahul 112*). Gujarat Titans chased it down without losing a wicket, finishing 205 in 19 overs.
