@Source: newsbytesapp.com
Delhi Capitals (DC) were beaten by Gujarat Titans in Match 60 of the IPL 2025 season at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. DC rode of KL Rahul's century (112*) to post a score of 199/3. In response, blazing knocks from Gujarat openers Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill helped the visitors to post a massive win. Sudharsan smashed a superb unbeaten ton as Gill remained unscathed as well. Gujarat won the match by 10 wickets. Delhi Capitals started slowly, after being asked to bat first. Mohammed Siraj and Arshad Khan bowled tightly, restricting scoring opportunities with the new ball. The first four overs had 15 dot balls and it was only in the fifth over that DC managed to score some runs. Faf du Plessis attempted to change momentum by attacking Arshad but was dismissed for just five runs off 10 balls. After a slow start, KL Rahul injected momentum into the innings by hitting Kagiso Rabada for two sixes and a four in the final over of the powerplay. This also marked Rahul's entry into an exclusive club of T20 cricketers with 8,000 runs. He achieved the feat in just 224 innings, becoming the third-fastest to do so after Chris Gayle (213) and Babar Azam (218). His aggressive batting helped DC reach 81/1 after 10 overs. Rahul got a bit lucky in the 14th over, when R Sai Kishore bowled three consecutive fours off his first three balls. The first four was hit back directly through Sai Kishore's hands, Rabada misfielded the second one, and an outside edge sped past short third. Axar Patel then took Sai Kishore apart in the 16th over, hitting him for 15 runs before Prasidh Krishna dismissed Axar with his second ball in the next over. Rahul scored an unbeaten 112 from 65 balls. His knock had 14 fours and 4 sixes. He struck at 172.31. He was part of an unbeaten 48-run stand alongside Tristan Stubbs (21*). With this knock of 112*, Rahul has raced to 5,176 IPL runs from 143 matches (134 innings). He averages a splendid 46.63 with a strike rate of 135.78. In addition to 5 hundreds, Rahul has amassed 40 fifties. Meanwhile, this was his 4th fifty-plus score this season (100s: 1, 50s: 3). He owns 493 runs this season for DC. Earlier during his knock, Rahul achieved a significant milestone by surpassing 8,000 runs in T20 cricket. Rahul attained this feat with his 33rd run. Rahul reached 8,000 T20 runs in his 237th match (224 innings). Rahul became the sixth Indian batter to surpass the 8,000-run mark in T20s. He joined the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina, and Suryakumar Yadav. Rahul became the fastest to 8,000 runs in T20s (by innings). As mentioned, he attained the mark in his 224th inning.
