SIX! CENTURY FOR SAI SUDHARSAN! His second in the IPL. Full, on middle, Sai Sudharsan comes forward and hits it straight back over the bowler's head, to bring up his milestone. Virender Sehwag would have been proud of that shot, to get to a century with a six. The GT dugout is beside itself, applauding its maestro.

Kuldeep Yadav to Sai Sudharsan
My word. Kuldeep Yadav is fuming and grumpy. That looked so, so out to the naked eye and one suspects that the umpire gave it not out because of the bat involved, not the angle. A lovely googly, pitched up around off, Sai Sudharsan looked to flick but seemed to miss as he played all around it and was hit on the pads. The ball deflected towards short third and the batters took a run, as Kuldeep was busy appealing. DC had just a review left prior to this and Abishek Porel smilingly gestured to Axar Patel to take the punt. The first question was the inside edge, which was negated by UltraEdge. But Ball Tracking showed the ball to be clipping the leg stump! DC don't lose a review but don't get a wicket either!

A moment of doubt for the GT openers. It was a slider, outside leg and Sai Sudharsan looked to paddle it fine. He missed and the keeper, Abishek Porel collected beautifully and straightaway went up in an appeal. Interestingly, the umpire did not signal it a wide either. Axar Patel was convinced into the review but UltraEdge detected a flat line when the ball went past the bat or glove. Instead, the spike came when the ball was close to the pad. That explains why wide was not called. Terrific umpiring. Review lost for DC though.

Captain Shubman Gill leads the charge of GT's batting, being the only skipper with 500-plus runs in IPL 2025. T Natarajan to share the new ball.

Shubman Gill has scored 508 runs at an average of 50.8 this season.

Gujarat's success has been implied by their resurgent top order, each of whom has scored at least 500 runs in IPL 2025. This is only the first instance where 3 batters from a single team have scored 500 runs or more in an IPL season. Bowling change. This guy was playing in the UAE last night. He is in Delhi tonight. Here's Mustafizur Rahman.

Shubman Gill has been outstanding in the last few innings for GT - scoring 360 runs at an average of 60 including 4 fifties in his last 6 innings. Here's Dushmantha Chameera now.

The camera pans on KL Rahul who is back on the ground. Might have gone for a shower after his long knock. But as of now, he is not donning the gloves. Abishek Porel is doing the honours.

Interestingly, Gill is one of only 4 captains who've scored 500 runs or more at an average of 50-plus and strike-rate in excess of 150 in an IPL season overall. Here's Vipraj Nigam.

Is that a wicket? Massive appeal for caught behind. Not given and DC take it upstairs. The keeper seemed extremely confident. Here comes UltraEdge. Spike is when the ball hits the pad! Great decision by the umpire.

Do we have another review here? We sure have. Kuldeep Yadav seems to have trapped Sai Sudharsan LBW but the onfield decision is not out. That looked very close. Was there bat involved? Nothing on the UltraEdge. What does Ball Tracking say? Umpire's call! Would you believe it?

STRATEGIC TIMEOUT. It is all one-way traffic at the moment. Gujarat Titans were very vocal of getting a quick and strong start in the Powerplay and they exemplified that by smashing 43 runs in the first 3 overs of the chase. Post that, Delhi Capitals have actually come back well but because of those first 3 overs, the required rate is well under check, especially, with all 10 wickets intact. However, the spinners are making the ball talk and the next phase could be interesting. Meanwhile, Sai Sudharsan has got back the Orange Cap, after Yashasvi Jaiswal briefly held it this evening post his knock against Punjab Kings.

We missed this - but Shubman Gill has gone past 5000 runs in T20 cricket, becoming the second fastest Indian after KL Rahul to the milestone. He crossed that mark when he got past 21. He now has 5000-plus runs in 154 innings, while Rahul achieved it in 143.

T Natarajan returns. Went for 20 in his opener.

Dushmantha Chameera returns. 1-0-3-0 so far.

Gill has particularly excelled in away matches this season; batting at an average of 70.4 including 4 fifties in 6 innings. This was before this match. Make that 5 fifties in 7 innings! Kuldeep Yadav is back on. 2-0-17-0 so far.

Shubman Gill has scored the most runs (417) by any batter away from home in IPL 2025. Vipraj Nigam is back on. 2-0-15-0 so far.

STRATEGIC TIMEOUT. Delhi Capitals are looking pretty deflated out there. Gujarat Titans are in pole position to earn the first 10-wicket win of this season. Nothing that the DC bowlers are trying is getting any fruit and once again, one of the top 3 from the GT batting lineup has batted till the 15th over. In this case, the top 2 are yet to be even separated. It has been a batting masterclass no doubt but the Delhi bowlers have lacked the guile to challenge the batters on a batting beauty. Three records are up for grabs now - Hundreds by both the openers and a 200-run opening stand - both would be a first this season. Here's Mustafizur Rahman. 2-0-13-0 so far.
0
Shubman Gill has been exceptional against spin this season, averaging 101.5 at a strike rate of 164, getting dismissed just twice. T Natarajan is back on. 2-0-31-0 so far.

Here's Kuldeep Yadav again. 3-0-26-0 so far.

Vipraj Nigam is back on. 3-0-26-0 so far.

That ends a power-packed Sunday. Gujarat Titans have entered their third IPL playoffs in 4 years of experience and in doing so, they have done some community service, taking Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings along with them. Not that the other two teams did not earn it on their merit. In fact, Punjab Kings strengthened their qualification chances by defeating Rajasthan Royals in the afternoon game, where they kept their nerves with the ball to pull off a win by 10 runs. What this does is - leave only one side vacant for qualification with three teams fighting for it - Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants. LSG play on Monday, 19th May, 2025, against the Sunrisers Hyderabad at their home ground in Lucknow. A loss here for the home side would eliminate LSG. The first ball will be bowled at 7.30 pm IST (1400 GMT) but our buildup will begin well in advance. So do tune in early. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!

Landed around leg stump, Sai Sudharsan watchfully nudges it towards square leg.

Axar Patel to Sai Sudharsan
FOUR! Not well timed, but it will reach the fence. A short ball, down the leg side, Sudharsan goes for the pull but gets an inside edge onto his pads. The ball though, races once it meets the outfield, beating the despairing dive from Dushmantha Chameera at short fine leg, bursting through his left hand, towards the fence.

Axar Patel to Shubman Gill
That was a missile. Fired in at 92.5 kph, Shubman Gill came half forward to defend but the ball skid through after pitching, catching him on the pads. The keeper, Abishek Porel, appealed for LBW but there was bat involved.

Axar Patel to Shubman Gill
SIX! The skipper is up and running! Flighted, outside off, Gill gets down on a knee and slog-sweeps it over mid-wicket for the first maximum of the chase! 11 from the opening over.
