Though porel

Arun Jaitley Stadium: The importance of Delhi Capitals getting a win over Gujarat Titans in their final home clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium was quite evident when they arrived at the venue way before their usual arrival time.

A win over GT would keep their playoffs hopes alive, but it didn’t turn out that way as B Sai Sudharsan’s 108 not out off 61 balls and Shubman Gill hitting an unbeaten 93 off 53 balls resulted in DC getting a resounding ten-wicket thrashing, also their fourth defeat of the season in New Delhi.

With GT, RCB and PBKS entering the playoffs, DC’s playoffs are now left hanging by a slim thread. Wicketkeeper-batter Abishek Porel feels DC can claim the last playoffs spot if they win their remaining league games – against Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings. Porel, who sizzled with a 19-ball 30, also felt the pitch on Sunday became better to bat as the game progressed.
