**New Delhi:** Gujarat Titans secured a thrilling seven-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals at their home ground, chasing down a 204-run target with four balls to spare. Jos Buttler’s unbeaten 97 runs was the cornerstone of Gujarat’s win, while Rahul Tewatia’s quickfire 11* (3 balls) sealed the deal in the final over with a six and a four.

Gujarat’s victory marks their fifth win in seven IPL matches this season, taking their points tally to 10 and joining Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings at the top of the table. Their chase wasn’t without its challenges, as they lost early wickets – Shubman Gill (7), Sai Sudharsan (36), and Sherfane Rutherford (43). However, Buttler’s masterful innings, studded with 11 fours and four sixes, steered them to victory.

Earlier, Delhi Capitals, despite promising starts from several batsmen, managed 203/8. Akshar Patel (39) and Ashutosh Sharma (37) were the top scorers for Delhi, with contributions also coming from Tristan Stubbs (31) and Karun Nair (31). Gujarat’s Prashid Krishna starred with the ball, taking 4 wickets for 41 runs. Mohammed Siraj also chipped in with a wicket. Sai Kishore’s economical final over restricted Delhi’s final flourish.

Despite a strong start by Abhishek Porel (23), Delhi’s batting faltered in the middle overs. KL Rahul’s (28) cameo and a 53-run partnership between Stubbs and Patel provided some resistance, but Krishna’s crucial wickets turned the tide in Gujarat’s favor.
