GT leads the DC vs GT head-to-head record 4–3 across 7 IPL matches. This is one of the IPL’s newest rivalries, and it has already produced some extraordinary extremes. GT bowled out for just 89 in 2024. A 10-wicket chase of 200 in 2025. A 4-run thriller at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Every meeting between these two sides has delivered a result worth talking about.
What gives this rivalry extra spice is the contrasting identities. Gujarat Titans won the IPL title in their debut season (2022) and reached the final again in 2023. They qualified for the playoffs in IPL 2025 as well. Delhi Capitals, an original franchise since 2008, are still chasing their maiden IPL trophy after reaching the final just once (2020). Both teams meet next on April 8 in IPL 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.

Recent Form: GT’s IPL 2025 Double Over DC
The narrative of this rivalry has swung wildly. DC won 3 consecutive matches from May 2023 to April 2024, taking a 3–2 overall lead. Two of those wins came at GT’s own Ahmedabad fortress, including the humiliating bowlout for 89. Then GT flipped the script entirely in IPL 2025 with two devastating victories.
The first meeting on April 19 at Ahmedabad saw DC post 203/8, a competitive total. But Prasidh Krishna took 4/37 to restrict DC’s scoring in the middle overs, and Jos Buttler (97 off 54) led a clinical chase. GT won by 7 wickets with deliveries to spare.
The second meeting on May 18 at Delhi was the match that defined this rivalry’s 2025 chapter. KL Rahul scored an unbeaten 112 off 65 balls, his fifth IPL century, powering DC to 199/3. On most days, that would be enough. Not against GT’s opening pair. Sai Sudharsan (108* off 61) and Shubman Gill (93* off 53) put on an unbroken 205-run opening stand and chased the target with an over to spare. GT won by 10 wickets, becoming only the second team in all T20 cricket to chase 200+ without losing a single wicket.
That result simultaneously booked GT’s playoff berth and effectively ended DC’s hopes of qualifying.
Highest Team Score in DC vs GT Matches
Both teams have posted competitive totals, but the 2024 Delhi match produced the highest score in this fixture.
| Team | Highest Score | Year / Venue |
|---|---|---|
| DC | 224/4 | 2024 / Delhi (Arun Jaitley) |
| GT | 220/8 | 2024 / Delhi (same match) |
DC’s 224/4 was built on Rishabh Pant’s explosive 88* and Axar Patel’s blistering 66. Together, they turned a solid platform into a massive total. GT’s chase of 220/8 was led by Sai Sudharsan (65) and David Miller (55), but they fell agonisingly 4 runs short. That 4-run loss defined the fine margins in this rivalry.
GT’s 205/0 in the 2025 Delhi match is technically a higher team effort (chasing 200 without loss), but the official highest first innings total belongs to DC.
Lowest Team Score in DC vs GT Matches
The lowest total in this rivalry is one of the most embarrassing collapses in recent IPL memory.
| Team | Lowest Score | Year / Venue |
|---|---|---|
| GT | 89 | 2024 / Ahmedabad (NMS) |
| DC | 130/8 | 2023 / Ahmedabad (NMS) |
GT’s 89 all out at their own Narendra Modi Stadium in April 2024 was a shocking collapse. Khaleel Ahmed, Rasikh Salam, and Mukesh Kumar combined to dismantle GT’s batting on a pitch that offered seam movement. DC chased the total in under 9 overs, winning by 6 wickets. For a team that had won the IPL title just two years earlier, being bowled out for 89 at home was a humbling experience.
DC’s 130/8 in the 2023 Ahmedabad match was low, but they still managed to defend it, restricting GT to 125/6 in a tense 5-run victory.
Most Runs in DC vs GT Matches
| Rank | Player | Current Team (2026) | Runs | Key Context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Axar Patel | DC | 176 | DC captain, consistent across all 7 matches |
| 2 | Sai Sudharsan | GT | 175 | IPL 2025 Orange Cap winner (759 runs overall) |
| 3 | KL Rahul | DC | 150 | 112* in the 2025 Delhi match |
| 4 | Shubman Gill | GT | 125 | GT captain, 93* in the 10-wicket chase |
| 5 | Rishabh Pant | LSG | 147 | Scored 88* for DC in 2024 before his trade |
Axar Patel (176 Runs)
Axar leads the run charts despite batting in the middle order for most of this rivalry’s history. Now DC’s captain, his ability to accelerate in the death overs has been crucial. His 66 in the 2024 Delhi thriller, where he combined with Pant to post 224, was his finest innings in this fixture. His left-arm spin adds another dimension, making him the most impactful all-rounder in DC vs GT matches.
Sai Sudharsan (175 Runs)
Sudharsan is the most dangerous batter in this fixture right now. His unbeaten 108 off 61 balls* in the 2025 Delhi match, chasing 200 without losing a wicket, was a career-defining innings. He won the IPL 2025 Orange Cap with 759 runs overall, and his record against DC specifically is outstanding. His 65 in the 2024 Delhi match also showed he performs under pressure at the highest level.
KL Rahul (150 Runs)
Rahul’s contribution to this rivalry is primarily defined by one extraordinary innings: his unbeaten 112 off 65 balls in the 2025 Delhi match. That century was his fifth in the IPL and came at a strike rate of 172. Tragically for DC, it ended in a losing cause as GT’s openers chased 200 without losing a wicket. Rahul remains DC’s most experienced batter heading into IPL 2026.
Shubman Gill (125 Runs)
Gill’s ~125 runs in this fixture include his magnificent 93 off 53* in the 10-wicket chase at Delhi. His partnership of 205 with Sudharsan was the third-highest opening stand in IPL history. As GT captain, Gill’s tactical awareness combined with his batting makes him the most complete player in this rivalry.
Rishabh Pant (147 Runs)
Pant was DC’s batting hero in this fixture during his time at the franchise. His 88* in the 2024 Delhi match, where he took on Rashid Khan and Mohit Sharma with fearless strokeplay, was the innings that defined DC’s dominance in the middle phase of this rivalry. Following his trade to Lucknow Super Giants, Pant no longer features for DC in this matchup.
Most Wickets in DC vs GT Matches
| Rank | Player | Team | Wickets | Key Trait |
| 1 | Mohammad Shami | GT (former) | 10 | Outswing, new-ball mastery; leading tally before move to LSG. |
| 2 | Rashid Khan | GT | 9 | Leg-spin, consistent economy, perennial threat across all seasons. |
| 3 | Prasidh Krishna | GT | 9 | IPL 2025 Purple Cap winner; dominant bounce and pace. |
| 4 | Khaleel Ahmed | DC (former) | 7 | Left-arm swing; historically effective before 2025 move to CSK. |
| 5 | Mukesh Kumar | DC | 7 | Seam movement; key performer in low-scoring Ahmedabad games. |
- Mohammad Shami (10 Wickets): Shami remains the overall leader in this rivalry. While he moved to LSG for the 2026 season (famously taking a wicket on the first ball of his debut), his legacy in DC vs GT matches is defined by his outswing. His most iconic performance remains his new-ball bursts during the 2022 and 2023 seasons that consistently left DC’s top order in tatters.
- Rashid Khan (9 Wickets): The Afghan superstar has climbed the rankings as the most capped GT player in this fixture. His economy rate remains the benchmark (6.48 vs DC), and his ability to squeeze the game in the middle overs has turned several matches into GT’s favor, including key breakthroughs in the 2025 campaign.
- Prasidh Krishna (9 Wickets): After a monstrous 2025 season where he claimed the Purple Cap with 25 wickets, Prasidh has rocketed up this list. His extra bounce on the Ahmedabad surface has become DC’s biggest nightmare, highlighted by his game-changing spells that utilize height and pace to stifle the middle order.
- Khaleel Ahmed (7 Wickets): Before his transition to CSK, Khaleel was DC’s primary weapon against GT. His left-arm angle was specifically used to target GT’s right-handed openers. His 2023 performance in Ahmedabad, where he defended a small total with precision, remains his highlight in this rivalry.
- Mukesh Kumar (7 Wickets): Mukesh has become DC’s most reliable death-overs and seam option. His standout moment was the 2024 demolition of GT for 89 runs, and he added further scalps during the 2025 season by effectively using the “scrambled seam” to find movement on flat decks.
Best Bowling Figures in DC vs GT Matches
| Player | Team | Figures | Year | Venue |
| Prasidh Krishna | GT | 4/41 | 2025 | Ahmedabad (NMS) |
| Lockie Ferguson | GT | 4/28 | 2022 | Pune (MCA) |
| Rasikh Salam | DC | 3/34 | 2024 | Delhi (Arun Jaitley) |
| Mohammad Shami | GT | 3/11 | 2023 | Ahmedabad (NMS) |
- Prasidh Krishna (4/41, 2025): The definitive performance of the 2025 season. Prasidh used searing yorkers and high-climbing short balls to dismantle the DC middle order. Despite DC posting 203, his ability to take wickets at “strike points” prevented a much larger total, allowing GT to chase it down.
- Lockie Ferguson (4/28, 2022): Still one of the most clinical displays of raw pace in this rivalry. At the MCA Stadium in Pune, Ferguson’s 150kmph+ thunderbolts accounted for Rishabh Pant and Axar Patel in the same over, sealing a 14-run win for GT.
- Rasikh Salam (3/34, 2024): The young pacer proved his worth in a high-scoring thriller at Delhi. Defending 224, Rasikh took three vital wickets in the death overs, showing nerves of steel to help DC clinch a 4-run victory.
- Mohammad Shami (3/11, 2023): Shami’s most economical and destructive spell against DC. He exploited the evening swing in Ahmedabad to perfection, leaving DC’s top order with no answers and setting the foundation for a GT masterclass.

Conclusion: GT Holds Slight Edge Over GT With 4 Wins Over DC’s 3
This rivalry may be young, but it has already packed in enough drama for a decade. GT bowled out for 89 one year, then chasing 200 without losing a wicket the next. Rahul’s century in a losing cause. Sudharsan’s century that booked a playoff spot. Pant’s 88* in a 4-run thriller. Seven matches, and not a single boring game.
With DC starting IPL 2026 with a win over LSG and GT coming off a loss to SRH, the April 8 clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is perfectly poised. Axar Patel leads DC’s charge with David Miller joining the squad, while Gill and Sudharsan look to continue their extraordinary partnership. In a rivalry where the gap is just one win, tomorrow’s match could swing the balance either way.
