"He raced to his half-century in just 24 balls - on Jos Buttler's explosive knock"

New Delhi, April 8

Shubman Gill played a captain's knock to take Gujarat Titans to 210 runs against Delhi Capitals in match 14 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Wednesday.

Asked to bat first, the GT started well with Gill returning at the helm after missing the last game due to injury. Sai Sudharsan lost his wicket in the third over when Mukesh Kumar got him bowled out at the score of 12 runs.

Jos Buttler replaced him at the crease and cleared his intentions with early hits on Axar Patel and Mukesh Kumar.

He raced to his half-century in just 24 balls and departed after making 52 off 27 balls with the help of three fours and five sixes. Kuldeep Yadav got him in his first over of the match.

Washington Sundar came to bat at number 4 and he built up a 104-run partnership with Gill. The captain was the aggressor, contributing 57 runs.

Gill played a 70-run knock off 45 balls with the help of four fours and five sixes before Lungi Ngidi got him caught out by Nitish Rana.

Sundar also completed his half-century soon, but lost his wicket after trying to accelerate the run-rate in the death overs. He made 55 runs off 32 balls with the help of six fours and a couple of sixes.

Glen Phillips and Rahul Tewatia took the Titans to 210/4 after collecting a couple of boundaries in both of the last two overs.

Mukesh Kumar took two wickets, whereas Lungi Ngidi and Kuldeep shared one wicket each for the Delhi Capitals.

DC are unbeaten in this tournament with a couple of wins and now, they need 211 runs to stay unbeaten. On the other hand, GT are looking for their maiden win of the season and they will try to defend this total.

Jos Buttler was on fire! 52 off 27 balls set the perfect platform. But honestly, the middle overs could have been a bit faster. Sundar and Gill played well, but the acceleration came a bit late. Still, 210 is a very good score.

Washington Sundar is so underrated! He can bat, bowl, and field brilliantly. His fifty today was crucial. Happy to see Indian all-rounders shining in the IPL. Hope he gets more chances in the national team based on this form.

As a neutral fan, this is shaping up to be a fantastic match! DC's bowling looked a bit flat today, especially after the powerplay. Mukesh Kumar was expensive. 211 is a mountain to climb, even for an unbeaten team. Exciting second innings coming up!

Good total, but GT's death bowling is a concern. They need to defend this properly. Tewatia and Phillips finished well, which is a positive sign. Hoping for a maiden win this season! 🤞

Respectfully, I think the article focuses too much on the batters. What about the dropped catch by DC? That let-off for Gill around the 12th over was crucial. Small moments like these change matches. DC will regret that.
