|April 20, 2025
AHMEDABAD: Jos Buttler's unbeaten 97 guided Gujarat Titans over the line and secured a seven-wicket victory over the Delhi Capitals in Match 35 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday.

The home side scored 204/3 with four balls to spare and moved to the top of the points table, ahead of Delhi Capitals.
Although Buttler was unable to cross the three-digit milestone on the day, his unbeaten 97, off 54 balls, was immense for his side, especially given the harsh weather conditions.
The Englishman's innings was laced with II boundaries and four sixes, all the while he was visibly struggling with cramps.
Gujarat moved to the top of the IPL table with the victory, owing to their superior run rate over Delhi, and also became the first team to chase a 200+ total against the franchise.
