New Delhi. Gujarat Titans captain Shubhman Gill blamed the batsmen for the defeat against Delhi Capitals and said that their shot selection was very poor. Thanks to the brilliant performance of captain Rishabh Pant and the bowlers, Delhi Capitals defeated Gujarat Titans by 6 wickets in a low-scoring match. Delhi Capitals won the toss and decided to bowl, bowling out Gujarat Titans for 89 runs in 17.3 overs, which is the lowest score of any team this season.
This is also the lowest score of Gujarat Titans so far in IPL. Gujarat Titans’ batting was very poor, for which only three players reached double figures, out of which Rashid Khan scored the highest score of 31 runs in 24 balls, who also hit the only six of the team’s innings. After the defeat, Shubman Gill said, ‘Our batting was mediocre. It is important for us to leave the defeat behind and come back stronger. There was no problem with the wicket. If you look at the way some batsmen got out, there was no fault in the pitch. I would like to say poor shot selection.
Gujarat Titans were bowled out for 100 runs, making it the lowest score of IPL 2024.

This is the biggest win of IPL in terms of balls for Delhi Capitals. Earlier in the year 2022, it had won against Punjab Kings in Mumbai with 57 balls remaining. Earlier in 2008, Delhi had won against Deccan Charges with 42 balls remaining. This is Gujarat’s fourth defeat in 7 matches. He has won 3 matches. Under the captaincy of Gujarat’s new captain Shubhman Gill, the team has not been able to do anything special so far. However, Gill is hopeful that like the last few seasons, this time too the team will be successful in winning five or six out of the upcoming 7 matches.
According to Shubhman Gill, ‘When the opposition team is chasing 89 runs, the opposition team always remains in the game until someone takes a double hat-trick. Half the season is over now. We have won 3 matches and hope that like the last few years, this time too we will be successful in winning five or six out of the last 7 matches. Gujarat will face Punjab Kings in the next match on 21st April.
