New Delhi: Shubman Gill's (84) blistering knock and a clinical bowling spell from Lockie Ferguson (4/28) powered Gujarat Titans beat Delhi Capitals by 14 runs in last-over thriller at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium on Saturday. 

Earlier, Delhi captain Rishabh Pant opted to bowl first after winning the toss. Shubman Gill played his IPL career's best-ever knock (84 runs off 46 balls) to help Gujarat Titans set a respectable 172-run target against Delhi Capitals. For Delhi, pace bowler Mustafizur Rahman bagged the maximum three wickets.

Delhi had a great start as they departed Matthew Wade for just one run in first over. Gill along with Vijay Shankar then steadied their innings by building a partnership to push their total to 44 at the end of powerplay.

Wonderful win for @gujarat_titans. Making a claim to be the best bowling side of the #TATAIPL. And with Hardik bowling, and bowling well, it gives them an added dimension.
