IPL 2025: The Gujarat Titans secured a massive win to keep the momentum going in the season. The hosts defeated the Delhi Capitals by seven wickets at the Narendra Modi Stadium, courtesy of Jos Buttler and Sherfane Rutherford's brilliance with the bat. GT lost their previous encounter against LSG, but they came back strong against the Axar Patel-led Capitals in IPL 2025. A potent performance from the Titans has shaken up the points table drastically. Let's take a look at the updated points table after the GT vs DC IPL clash.
Following the Gujarat Titans' triumph, they are now the new table toppers, as they have secured five wins and two losses in the seven matches they have played.

The Gujarat Titans reigned supreme at the Narendra Modi Stadium after a spectacular showcase with the bat. While Shubman Gill was dismissed after an early run-out, Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler took matters into their own hands with a potent partnership. While Sai did lose his wicket, Sherfane Rutherford stood firm in the game and powered the Titans through for a win.
The Delhi Capitals' bowling unit failed to deliver a sustainable performance. Jos Buttler took the bowlers for a ride as he thrashed Mitchell Starc for five consecutive boundaries and made them look weak. Even though they managed to pick up two wickets, that was not enough. The Capitals' 200+ target looked low-par, as GT did a fine job with the ball as well.
All eyes will now be upon the Delhi Capitals as they will now face off against the Lucknow Super Giants on April 22, 2025, at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.
