A 119-run stand between Jos Buttler and Sherfane Rutherford helped the 2022 champions cross the target of 204 runs at Narendra Modi Stadium, also completing their best run chase ever in IPL history. A large reason for GT's success has been their excellence against spin.
DC did post a competitive total on the board, but despite some early hiccups, Buttler and Rutherford managed to chase the target of 204 runs by putting up a memorable 119-run partnership and pushed their side to the top of the points table.
Buttler was once again the hero for GT this season, scoring his third fifty in seven matches as his explosive century stand with Sherfane Rutherford guided GT to their fifth win of the season, beating DC by seven wickets at Ahmedabad on Saturday.
With their fifth win in seven matches, GT have climbed to the top of the points table, displacing DC to the second spot, who suffered their second loss.
