Gujarat Titans made IPL history by chasing 200+ without losing a wicket, scoring 205/0 in 19 overs, with Gill and Sudharsan dominating DC at Arun Jaitley Stadium.
The Gujarat Titans made IPL history, becoming the first team in IPL history to chase down a target of 200 or more without losing a wicket after chasing down the Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium by 10 wickets.
Chasing the target of 200 was hard enough, but after taking their time, GT's openers Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan rocked their way to a 205/0 score in 19 overs, displaying their dominance and calmness while sending a strong message prior to the Playoffs by shattering every past record.
Now, this run chase is the highest successful run chase in IPL history without losing a wicket, a feat that has never been accomplished in 18 years of the league. The opening partnership of 205 runs is now the third ever opening partnership in IPL history and the second highest for this pairing after making 210 with CSK in 2024.
Before this, DC, after winning the toss, batted first to score 199/3 with LG Kumar making a excellent highest knock of 112* off 65 balls with some useful help from Porel, Axar, and Stubbs; but the shot-making from the GT openers was the class act It was no kill with the DC bowling attack as they stood without a wicket and nothing Gill's worthy opposition worth talking about.
Sai Sudharsan who made 108* runs off 61 balls, was Player of the Match. He said, “It feels amazing to finally finish in a game for my team. I had a game like this in my mind and I just managed to execute."
Gill who scored 93* off 53 balls called it a proud moment and said, "It will build momentum going into the playoffs." With this fantastic win, the Gujarat Titans not only secured guaranteed qualification to IPL 2025 Playoffs but also announced its arrival to the IPL footprint with a moment that will be seared in the minds of many as "one for the ages."
