In 7 meetings across four IPL seasons from 2022 to 2025, the Gujarat Titans hold a narrow 4-3 advantage over the Delhi Capitals — a head-to-head record that belies the dramatic swings of fortune embedded within this fixture. No other modern IPL rivalry has produced such extreme results in such a compressed timeframe: a 10-wicket demolition sits alongside a 4-run nail-biter, and a franchise that did not exist before 2022 already owns the bragging rights against an original 2008 team.
The Delhi Capitals, who competed as the Delhi Daredevils from 2008 to 2018, have been part of the IPL since its inaugural season. The Gujarat Titans, by contrast, entered the tournament as an expansion franchise in 2022 and promptly won the title in their debut campaign — a feat unprecedented in IPL history. Their rivalry, while young in absolute terms, has quickly developed a compelling edge shaped by contrasting institutional identities, individual brilliance, and a venue paradox that defies conventional home-advantage logic.
All-Time Head-to-Head Record
| Metric | Delhi Capitals | Gujarat Titans |
|---|---|---|
| Matches won (out of 7) | 3 | 4 |
| Win percentage | 42.9% | 57.1% |
| Biggest victory (by runs) | — | 14 runs (2022, Pune) |
| Biggest victory (by wickets) | 6 wickets (2024, Ahmedabad) | 10 wickets (2025, Delhi) |
| Closest contest won | 4 runs (2024, Delhi) | — |
Gujarat's edge is modest — a single match separates the two sides across 7 meetings. Yet the Titans' ability to deliver emphatic victories, including a stunning 10-wicket rout in 2025, lends their record a more dominant complexion than the raw numbers suggest. Delhi's 3 wins, meanwhile, have all come in tighter margins — by 5 runs, 4 runs, and 6 wickets — reflecting a team that has had to fight harder for every success in this fixture.
Last Five Meetings
| Date | Venue | Winner | Margin | Player of the Match |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18 May 2025 | Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi | Gujarat Titans | 10 wickets | Sai Sudharsan |
| 19 Apr 2025 | Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad | Gujarat Titans | 7 wickets | Jos Buttler |
| 24 Apr 2024 | Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi | Delhi Capitals | 4 runs | Rishabh Pant |
| 17 Apr 2024 | Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad | Delhi Capitals | 6 wickets | Rishabh Pant |
| 2 May 2023 | Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad | Delhi Capitals | 5 runs | Mohammed Shami |
The recent trajectory of this fixture reveals alternating periods of domination rather than stable equilibrium. Delhi won three consecutive meetings between May 2023 and April 2024, with Rishabh Pant earning back-to-back Player of the Match awards during the 2024 sweep. Gujarat then responded with two emphatic victories in 2025 — both achieved while chasing, and both completed with significant wickets in hand.
Defining Moments
The 10-Wicket Demolition — 18 May 2025, Delhi
The most one-sided result in this rivalry's short history came at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on 18 May 2025. Gujarat Titans chased down Delhi Capitals' total without losing a single wicket — the most comprehensive margin possible in a T20 chase. Sai Sudharsan anchored the pursuit with an unbeaten innings that left Delhi's attack searching for answers on their own home surface. A 10-wicket defeat in front of a home crowd underlined Gujarat's growing confidence against Delhi and represented the lowest point for the Capitals in this head-to-head.
The 4-Run Thriller — 24 April 2024, Delhi
Just a year before that demolition, the same Arun Jaitley Stadium had witnessed the tightest contest between these two franchises. Delhi Capitals defended their total by a mere 4 runs in a match that swung multiple times in the final overs. Rishabh Pant, who earned Player of the Match for the second consecutive meeting against Gujarat in April 2024, was central to Delhi's narrow escape. In a fixture that has tended toward decisive margins, this 4-run result stands as proof that the rivalry can deliver genuine edge-of-seat cricket when the conditions align.
The Inaugural Clash — 2 April 2022, Pune
The very first meeting between these two sides set the tone for everything that would follow. Playing at the MCA Stadium in Pune during the 2022 season's neutral-venue phase, Gujarat won by 14 runs in Match 10 of that year's tournament. Lockie Ferguson earned Player of the Match with a disciplined fast-bowling display, and the Titans — barely two weeks into their IPL existence — had already stamped authority on this nascent fixture. It was the beginning of a head-to-head ledger that Gujarat have led from the very first delivery.
Venue Breakdown
| Venue | Meetings | Delhi Capitals wins | Gujarat Titans wins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi | 3 | 1 | 2 |
| Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| MCA Stadium, Pune | 1 | 0 | 1 |
The venue data reveals one of the more unusual statistical quirks in modern IPL head-to-head analysis. Delhi Capitals have a superior record at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad — Gujarat's home ground — than at their own Arun Jaitley Stadium in the national capital. Delhi have won 2 of 3 meetings in Ahmedabad compared to just 1 of 3 at home in Delhi. Gujarat, conversely, have been more successful away in Delhi (2 wins from 3) than at their own Ahmedabad fortress (1 win from 3).
This inverted home-advantage dynamic suggests that pitch familiarity and crowd support alone do not determine outcomes when these two sides collide. The explanation may lie in squad composition and matchup-specific advantages rather than traditional home-ground factors — a pattern worth monitoring as more meetings accumulate at both venues.
The Swinging Pendulum — Season by Season
No single side has sustained dominance for more than two consecutive meetings in this fixture. Gujarat swept their encounters in 2022, the Titans' inaugural season, establishing early supremacy. Delhi then fought back with a 5-run victory in the sole 2023 meeting at Ahmedabad — a result built on Mohammed Shami's Player-of-the-Match bowling performance — before completing a clean sweep of both 2024 encounters. Rishabh Pant was Delhi's undisputed talisman during that 2024 purple patch, winning consecutive Player of the Match awards against Gujarat in April of that year.
The pendulum swung emphatically again in 2025. Gujarat responded to Delhi's 2024 dominance with back-to-back victories of increasing severity — first by 7 wickets in Ahmedabad, where Jos Buttler anchored the chase, and then by 10 wickets in Delhi, the fixture's most lopsided result to date. The year-by-year pattern — Gujarat 2-0, Delhi 1-0, Delhi 2-0, Gujarat 2-0 — paints a rivalry defined by sharp momentum shifts rather than any form of sustained superiority from either camp.
Where This Rivalry Stands in IPL History
The Delhi Capitals versus Gujarat Titans fixture is the youngest major rivalry in the Indian Premier League, with Gujarat having entered the tournament only in 2022. Yet it carries genuine weight within the broader IPL ecosystem. The Titans won the tournament title in their very first season — the only expansion franchise in IPL history to do so — and followed that triumph with a runner-up finish in 2023. Delhi, an original 2008 franchise who rebranded from the Daredevils in 2019, reached their only IPL final in 2020 against Mumbai Indians and remain among the franchises still seeking a maiden championship.
That institutional asymmetry — the patient veteran versus the instant achiever — gives every meeting a narrative layer that transcends the match itself. As both franchises continue to pursue titles across future IPL seasons, the Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans rivalry will deepen with every new chapter added to its brief but eventful history.
