Shubman Gill-led Gujarat Titans rode on Jos Buttler’s unbeaten 97-run knock on Saturday (April 19) to chase down the target of 204 runs in 19.2 overs for the loss of three wickets and win the IPL 2025 match against Delhi Capitals by 7 wickets at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
Buttler faced 54 balls for the Ahmedabad-based franchise and hammered 11 fours and four sixes during his stay at the crease. The former England white-ball captain added 60 runs for the second wicket with opener Sai Sudharsan (36 from 21) and 119 runs for the third wicket with Sherfane Rutherford (43 from 34 balls).
The win in Ahmedabad helped GT become the first team in IPL history to successfully chase down a 200-run-plus target against Delhi Capitals.
