The Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans timeline is short. Just 4 seasons old. But the 9 matches played between these two sides have packed more drama, collapses, and last-over heists than some rivalries manage in a decade.
Gujarat Titans arrived in 2022 as franchise cricket’s newest entrants. They left that season as champions. Delhi Capitals, despite being one of IPL’s oldest clubs, are still hunting their first title. These two facts alone set the tone for what this rivalry has become: a young, hungry franchise testing itself against a team that’s been around since 2008 and has the scars to show for it.
Fans search for the Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans timeline for good reason. These matches rarely end in comfort. 5-run wins, 1-run losses, 89-run collapses, 205-run unbeaten partnerships — the DC vs GT rivalry somehow accommodates all of it.
Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans Timeline (Year-by-Year)
Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans Timeline 2022
April 2, 2022. Brabourne Stadium, Pune. The first-ever meeting between DC and GT, and Gujarat made sure nobody forgot it.
Shubman Gill opened his account against Delhi with 84 off 46 balls — 8 fours, 4 sixes — an innings that announced him as a franchise player in the making. GT posted 171/6. Delhi chased gamely but kept losing wickets at the wrong moments. Rishabh Pant top-scored with 43, but Lockie Ferguson (4/28) ripped through the middle order and DC finished at 157/9. Gujarat won by 14 runs.
That was it. One match in 2022 between these teams. But it left a marker. GT were serious. DC had some ground to make up.
Key performers: Shubman Gill (84, GT), Lockie Ferguson (4/28, GT), Rishabh Pant (43, DC) Result: GT won by 14 runs
Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans Timeline 2023
Two matches. Completely different stories.
Match 1 — April 4, 2023, Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi
DC batted first and managed 162/8. Sai Sudharsan walked in for Gujarat and was completely unfazed. His 62* off 48 — measured, correct, ice-calm — guided GT home in 18.1 overs. Six-wicket win for the Titans. DC couldn’t defend a par score at home.
Match 2 — May 2, 2023, Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
This one was a different beast. Mohammed Shami bowled 4 overs upfront with the new ball and took 4/11 — one of the great powerplay spells in IPL history. DC were demolished to 23/5 in 5 overs and somehow crawled to 130/8.
Then the tables turned. DC bowlers fought back like their season depended on it. GT fell to 32/4 in reply. Hardik Pandya steadied it, but Rahul Tewatia smashed 3 sixes off Anrich Nortje to bring the equation down to 12 off the last over. Ishant Sharma held his nerve. GT fell 5 runs short.
DC won by 5 runs. The kind of match you rewatch twice just to make sure it was real.
Key performers (Match 1): Sai Sudharsan (62*, GT) Key performers (Match 2): Mohammed Shami (4/11, GT), Rahul Tewatia (cameo, GT), Aman Hakim Khan (50+, DC) Results: GT won Match 1 by 6 wickets; DC won Match 2 by 5 runs
Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans Timeline 2024
IPL 2024 was a bizarre year for this fixture. DC crushed GT twice — but in completely different ways.
Match 1 — April 17, 2024, Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
DC bowled. GT collapsed. 89 all out in 17.3 overs — the lowest total Gujarat Titans had ever posted in IPL. Mukesh Kumar led the destruction. DC chased 90 in 8.5 overs. Done and dusted before the tenth over.
Match 2 — April 24, 2024, Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi
GT came looking for revenge. Got a thriller instead. DC posted 224/4 — Rishabh Pant’s 88 off 43 (5 fours, 8 sixes) was one of his best-ever IPL innings. GT chased hard. Sai Sudharsan and David Miller kept them alive. GT needed 13 off the last over. Rashid Khan swung, connected, but couldn’t drag GT across the line. Final score: GT 220/8. DC won by 4 runs.
440 runs in 40 overs. DC swept the double. Both results, just no margin for comfort.
Key performers: Rishabh Pant (88 off 43, DC), Sai Sudharsan (half-century, GT), David Miller (55 off 23, GT) Results: DC won Match 1 by 6 wickets; DC won Match 2 by 4 runs
Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans Timeline 2025
Two matches. Gujarat won one convincingly. Then humiliated DC in the other.
Match 1 — April 19, 2025, Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
DC scored 203/8. A competitive total. Axar Patel top-scored with 39 off 32. Then Jos Buttler happened. He walked in and made 97* off 54 — 11 fours, 4 sixes — a knock that turned a chase into a cruise. GT needed 10 off the last over with Mitchell Starc bowling. Rahul Tewatia hit a six, then a four. Game over. GT won by 7 wickets.
Match 2 — May 18, 2025, Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi
DC posted 199/3. KL Rahul was brilliant: 112* off 65 — 4 sixes, 14 boundaries. A hundred that deserved to win a match. It didn’t. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan shared an unbeaten 205-run opening partnership. GT chased 200 in 19 overs. 10 wickets. DC were annihilated at their own ground.
Key performers: Jos Buttler (97*, GT), Rahul Tewatia (last-over finish, GT), Shubman Gill + Sai Sudharsan (205* partnership, GT), KL Rahul (112*, DC) Results: GT won Match 1 by 7 wickets; GT won Match 2 by 10 wickets
Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans Timeline 2026
Match — April 8, 2026, Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi
GT posted 210-odd batting first. DC chased. KL Rahul made 92. With DC needing 45 off 18 balls after Rahul’s dismissal, David Miller took over — retired hurt earlier, returned, and launched Mohammed Siraj for 23 in the 19th over. 13 needed off the final over bowled by Prasidh Krishna. Vipraj Nigam hit a boundary, then was out. DC fell 1 run short. 209/8. Gujarat won by 1 run.
One run. In a match Delhi should have won.
Key performers: KL Rahul (92, DC), David Miller (GT), Prasidh Krishna (GT) Result: GT won by 1 run

Highest Team Scores in DC vs GT Matches
| Team | Score | Season | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delhi Capitals | 224/4 | IPL 2024 | Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi |
| Gujarat Titans | 220/8 | IPL 2024 | Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi |
| Delhi Capitals | 203/8 | IPL 2025 | Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad |
| Gujarat Titans | 210+ | IPL 2026 | Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi |
| Delhi Capitals | 199/3 | IPL 2025 | Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi |
The April 24, 2024 match at Arun Jaitley Stadium stands as the highest-scoring game in DC vs GT history. Over 440 runs in 40 overs. Both teams posted 200+. DC’s 224/4, powered by Pant’s 88 off 43, was the highest innings total in this rivalry.
The most successful chase was GT’s 10-wicket demolition in May 2025, when Gill and Sudharsan knocked off 200 without dropping a wicket. As far as chases go in IPL history, it’s hard to top that kind of clinical authority.
Lowest Team Scores in Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans Matches
| Team | Score | Season | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gujarat Titans | 89 all out | IPL 2024 | Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad |
| Delhi Capitals | 130/8 | IPL 2023 | Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad |
| Delhi Capitals | 157/9 | IPL 2022 | Brabourne Stadium, Pune |
GT’s 89 all out in April 2024 remains the lowest total in this rivalry — and their lowest ever in IPL cricket at the time. DC’s bowling that day was relentless. Mukesh Kumar led a systematic dismantling. GT were 89 and done in 17.3 overs, and DC chased the target before most fans had finished their first drink.
The DC 130/8 from May 2023 deserves a mention too. Shami’s 4/11 in the first 4 overs made that score look borderline miraculous. The fact that DC then nearly defended it tells you how good their bowlers were that day.
Top Run Scorers in Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans Timeline
| Player | Team | Runs | Matches | Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sai Sudharsan | Gujarat Titans | 200+ | 6 | 50+ |
| Rishabh Pant | Delhi Capitals | 175+ | 4 | 43+ |
| Shubman Gill | Gujarat Titans | 150+ | 7 | 30+ |
| KL Rahul | Delhi Capitals | 200+ | 3 | 100+ |
| Axar Patel | Delhi Capitals | 80+ | 5 | 20+ |
(Note: Cumulative figures up to and including IPL 2026 based on available match data)
KL Rahul’s numbers in this rivalry are obscenely good given his limited appearances. The 112* in May 2025 and 92 in April 2026 alone account for most of his tally. Sai Sudharsan has been the most consistent across the rivalry — showing up in almost every GT innings, often quietly, always effectively.
Pant’s 88 off 43 in April 2024 remains the highest individual score by a DC batter in this fixture. It was also, frustratingly, not enough to stop GT making a game of it.
Leading Wicket Takers in DC vs GT History
| Player | Team | Wickets | Economy | Best Figures |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mohammed Shami | Gujarat Titans | 6+ | 6.5 | 4/11 |
| Mukesh Kumar | Delhi Capitals | 5+ | 7.2 | 3/- |

| Rashid Khan | Gujarat Titans | 4+ | 6.9 | 2/- |
| Anrich Nortje | Delhi Capitals | 3+ | 8.1 | 2/- |
(Note: Figures are approximate based on match-by-match data available)
Mohammed Shami’s 4/11 in May 2023 is the best bowling performance in the entire Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans timeline. 4 overs. All with the new ball. 5 wickets fell in that powerplay and DC were down to 23/5. That spell almost single-handedly won Gujarat the match — if only their batting had held up.
Venue-Wise Record in Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans Matches
Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
| Matches Played | DC Wins | GT Wins | Average Score |

Ahmedabad is DC’s happy hunting ground in this rivalry. They won by 5 runs in 2023 and by 6 wickets in 2024, reducing GT to 89 all out. GT’s only home win came in April 2025 via Jos Buttler’s 97*.
Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi

|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 1 | 3 | 185 |
Strangely, Delhi’s home ground has not been kind to them in this rivalry. GT have won 3 of 4 matches there. The 10-wicket loss in May 2025 and the 1-run heartbreak in April 2026 are the ones DC fans would rather forget.

Memorable Moments from the DC vs GT Rivalry
Tewatia’s 3 sixes off Nortje (May 2023, Ahmedabad) GT needed 33 off 2 overs. Rahul Tewatia launched Anrich Nortje — one of the fastest bowlers in the game — for 3 consecutive sixes. DC still won, but that over will live in IPL memory.
Shami’s 4/11 (May 2023, Ahmedabad) 4 overs, 4 wickets, 11 runs. DC were 23/5 and should have been done. They weren’t. But for 15 minutes, Shami made a world-class batting lineup look completely clueless.
GT collapse to 89 (April 2024, Ahmedabad) IPL 2024’s most one-sided match in this fixture. GT, a team that had reached two consecutive finals, couldn’t post 90. DC bowlers dismantled them in 17.3 overs.
Pant’s 88 off 43 (April 2024, Delhi) 5 fours. 8 sixes. 43 balls. The kind of innings that makes you laugh at the laws of cricket. Pant and Axar Patel put on 113 for the 4th wicket, and DC posted 224. Still only won by 4 runs.
Buttler’s 97 and Tewatia’s finish (April 2025, Ahmedabad)* GT needed 10 off the last over. Starc bowled. Tewatia hit a 6 and a 4. Perfect execution under the biggest pressure. GT won by 7 wickets from what could easily have been a DC win.
Gill-Sudharsan’s 205 stand (May 2025, Delhi)* The most dominant partnership in this rivalry’s history. Two openers, chasing 200, not losing a single wicket. DC’s bowling had no answers. GT knocked off the target with an over to spare.
The 1-run loss (April 2026, Delhi) Miller returning from retirement hurt, launching Siraj for 23 in one over, only for Vipraj Nigam to fall off the second ball of the last over with 13 still needed. DC finished on 209. Needed 210. The kind of defeat that takes days to process.

Key Players Who Defined the Rivalry
Shubman Gill (Gujarat Titans) The man who started it all. His 84 in the very first match announced this rivalry’s intent. He later captained GT to the 10-wicket win with a match-winning opening partnership. Every time DC think they’ve figured him out, he produces something different.
Rishabh Pant (Delhi Capitals) The 88 off 43 in April 2024 was peak Pant. But beyond the hundreds and big shots, it’s his captaincy instincts — knowing when to back his bowlers, when to attack himself — that made him central to DC’s 3 wins.
Axar Patel (Delhi Capitals) Inherited the DC captaincy in 2025 and has featured prominently as both batter and bowler across the Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans timeline. His 39 off 32 in April 2025 kept DC’s total competitive even when no one else found their range.
Rashid Khan (Gujarat Titans) Barely a wicket in the first few meetings, but his value shows up in the economy column. He stops boundaries at the back end and turns 180 into 195. That 24* off 11 in the 2024 Ahmedabad chase nearly pulled off something remarkable.
Sai Sudharsan (Gujarat Titans) The quiet one. 62* off 48 to win the match in 2023. An unbeaten 205-run stand in 2025. He doesn’t make noise, he just scores. And in this rivalry, he’s done it repeatedly.
What Makes Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans an Exciting IPL Rivalry?
Partly the age gap between the franchises. GT arrived in 2022 already polished, already winning. DC have been in IPL since 2008 and still searching.
But the cricket itself does the heavy lifting. Every single match except maybe the 10-wicket job in May 2025 has had a moment where the result could have gone either way. A Tewatia six. A Shami spell. A Pant assault. A Gill opening burst. One wrong over from either side and the scoreboard flips.
Then there’s the playoff implication thread running through almost every meeting. These aren’t inconsequential mid-table games. In 2023, DC’s 5-run win in Ahmedabad kept their season alive. In 2025, GT’s back-to-back wins pushed them toward the top half. Every point matters, and it shows in how both teams play.
The young talent is part of it too. Sai Sudharsan is 22. Shubman Gill is 25. Jake Fraser-McGurk (DC) is 23. Vipraj Nigam is still developing. The DC vs GT timeline might be short right now, but it’s being shaped by players who’ll be around for another decade.
