Gujarat Titans Defeat Delhi Capitals, Jos Buttler Scores Unbeaten 97

Gujarat Titans secured a commanding seven-wicket win over Delhi Capitals in Ahmedabad, chasing down a target of 204 to claim the top spot on the IPL 2025 points table. Jos Buttler anchored the chase with an unbeaten 97, supported by key contributions from Sai Sudharsan and Sherfane Rutherford, who added 36 and 43 runs respectively. Delhi Capitals had earlier posted 203/8, boosted by Karun Nair's quick 31 and a solid partnership between Tristan Stubbs and Axar Patel, but struggled to defend their total as their bowlers failed to make significant breakthroughs. Prasidh Krishna was instrumental for the Titans, taking four wickets to limit the Capitals’ scoring. The victory marked Gujarat's fifth win in seven matches, while Delhi slipped to second place after suffering their second loss of the season. Buttler's performance, highlighted by 11 boundaries and four sixes, was central to the Titans’ successful run chase.
