Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans, 60th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Not only will the GT faithful be happy tonight but also the RCB and PBKS ones. Three teams into the playoffs, four eliminated already and the remaining three - DC, MI and LSG to fight it out for the last spot. And if LSG lose tomorrow, they will be knocked out as well. They face SRH in Lucknow. A big game that for LSG. On that note time to escape now. See you tomorrow. Till then take care, be well, sleep tight and come back here tomorrow night. Bye.

Sai Sudharsan | Player of the Match: If feels great to make the team win. I missed out quite a few times at doing so this season and in the break, I was thinking about it and it paid off today. After the 6 overs, the 7-10 overs they bowled really well, the momentum went down, we were cool and calm enough to take the game deep. We got a couple of big overs from 12-13 which helped. Previous games I took chances and got out, but was aware enough to take the right matchups. I started to believe a bit more to be honest, mindset point of view belief has gotten better. Don't think not many changes as a batter but mentally I have gotten better. When I look at the spinners, maybe I can get better at striking them. After the 15th over I have a lot of things to work on, I'm keeping a check on that. (about Gill) There's a lot of understanding between us. Running between the wickets is one thing which we talk about and when I do a mistake he points out and similarly from my side as well.

Shubman Gill: Feels great to be able to get that Q on the board. Still two important games for us, getting the momentum into the playoffs will be very important. Feels amazing, I have talked about this couple of times, when I'm batting, I want to play and think as a batsman, not as a captain. Last year was a learning for me as I was captain for the 1st time, the back end last season I learnt that. (on what they did during the break) We were right back into the game, we were practising. Our fielding had been below-par, we had a bit of time to reflect on that and work on our fielding. (on Sudharsan) He has been in tremendous form this season, the way he has been able to convert the starts. You are seeing the conditions and the situation, we talk about finishing the game and not leave it to anyone else because on a wicket like this a couple of wickets could create pressure. A the halfway mark we felt we gave 10-15 runs extra, they batted well, the ball was spinning. (if he was in the gym during the break) Not much, actually I got sick, the break helped.

Pathiv Patel | GT Assistant Coach: It’s great, we have batted really well this season. We’ve played some really good cricket overall. It has been a reward for the way we worked over the last couple of months. (On the openers) The low risk cricket that they play is fantastic, they have the ability to hit down the ground. We always talk about hitting sixes, but they win the game through hitting boundaries. What you don’t see is how much hard work they put in behind the scenes. The communicate really well, they batted brilliantly last season and they knew what they were doing. The opening pair is always about chemistry, about knowing each other’s game well. (On if he will get Ashish Nehra a chair to sit down and relax next game) No chance, because he is standing we are in this position. He has been fantastic. I have heard about the atmosphere being really nice in GT, and now that I’m here I can see it for myself. It is also about the hard work that we everyone puts in.

Axar Patel | DC Captain - Obviously, the way they batted, if you don't lose wickets, the chase becomes easy. I thought the wicket got better as the game progressed. I thought it was a par score, the way we finished, KL was superb, we thought this was a good score. The bowlers tried hard, but we couldn't win today. The way we batted was a big positive, need to improve our fielding and the bowling in the powerplay. The wicket got better in the 2nd innings, it was stopping and gripping in the first innings, but not in the second. Once a batter gets set, it becomes easier to bat.

23:05 Local Time, 17:35 GMT, 23:05 IST: Two men in prime form. Two monsters at the top. Two run-gluttons. And the result is a 10-wicket win while chasing 200. And they made it look so easy. Did not even break a sweat if one can say that. Right from ball one of the chase they were in control and even though Shubman Gill started off slow he was helped by Sai Sudharsan's belligerent start. That allowed Gill to take his time and he then turned it on to keep pace with his partner till the 70s, before one big over against Nattu saw the left-hander run away to his 2nd IPL 100. Whatever DC tried, the two openers had an answer and more. GT look like the team to beat this season especially with the way their top-three are batting. Stay tuned for the post-match stuff...
