The 10-wicket win over home side Delhi Capitals also put RCB and Punjab Kings in the IPL playoffs but left DC hopes hanging
NEW DELHI: A clinical ton by Sai Sudharsan and an unbeaten opening alliance with skipper Shubman Gill dwarfed a classy KL Rahul hundred as Gujarat Titans cruised to a thumping 10-wicket win over Delhi Capitals here on Sunday, in the process reclaiming their top spot on the table.
Batting as an impact sub, Sudharsan rarely played a false shot in his 108*, his 205-run partnership with Gill ensuring GT were home with an over to spare. The win means with 18 points to their credit, GT have secured their place in the playoffs while DC, who were in a must-win situation for a clear passage to last-four, will now have to depend on other results besides winning their two remaining matches at home. The result also sealed the playoffs berth of Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings.
Playoffs though looks a tall order for the hosts who have been quite woeful at home.
