Sai Sudharsan led the charge in today’s chase, with multiple boundaries and sixes, while Gill anchored from the other end. Their coordination at the crease has been one of GT’s biggest strengths this season, consistently giving the team solid starts.

This consistency has made them the most productive opening duo of the tournament. Sudharsan has often played the aggressor, while Gill has provided stability and played the role of an anchor.

DC's Total Look Feeble As GT Starts Strong

Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals posted a commanding total of 199/3 in their 20 overs, thanks to a brilliant unbeaten knock of 112 off 65 balls from captain KL Rahul. He was well supported by Tristan Stubbs, who added a quickfire 21* off 10 balls in the final overs. Gujarat Titans began their chase steadily, reaching 64 without loss in 7.1 overs. 

Sai Sudharsan looks fluent with his fifty, while skipper Shubman Gill is playing the supporting role. With the run rate climbing and 10 wickets in hand, all eyes are on GT’s top-order to continue the momentum and seal a dominant win.
