The showdown between Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2025 saw Jos Buttler and Sherfane Rutherford steal the spotlight, steering GT to a commanding position against DC. Despite narrowly missing out on what would have been his eighth IPL century, Buttler’s unbeaten 97 was instrumental in GT’s emphatic seven-wicket victory over DC, propelling them to the top of the leaderboard.
Accompanying Buttler’s brilliance, Sherfane Rutherford, Axar Patel, and Ashutosh Sharma contributed crucial performances that enabled DC to post a respectable 203/8. Axar led the charge with a solid 39 off 32 deliveries, while Ashutosh provided a late surge with his explosive 37 from just 19 balls.
Prasidh Krishna emerged as GT’s bowling hero, claiming 4/41 in his full spell, effectively curtailing DC’s innings. Earlier, the Gujarat Titans’ captain, Shubman Gill, won the toss and elected to field first in the IPL 2025 face-off held on Saturday in Ahmedabad. This strategic choice paved the way for GT’s eventual triumph.
