Gujarat Titans (GT) climbed to the top of the IPL 2023 points table with a six-wicket win over the Delhi Capitals (DC) earlier tonight at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The Titans pulled off yet another successful run-chase in the IPL to maintain their undefeated record in the ongoing season.
Uncapped batter Sai Sudharsan was the hero for the Gujarat Titans earlier tonight. He smashed a half-century for the defending champions, helping them chase down a 163-run target in 18.1 overs. David Miller played an important cameo of 31 runs off 16 balls, while Vijay Shankar chipped in with 29 runs off 23 deliveries.
Earlier in the game, three-wicket hauls from Rashid Khan and Mohammed Shami helped the Gujarat Titans restrict the Delhi Capitals to 162/8 in 20 overs. David Warner, Sarfaraz Khan and Axar Patel touched the 30-run mark, but none of them could convert their starts into big scores.
