171/6 against Delhi Capitals (2022)

GT’s 171/6 against Delhi Capitals is their 9th-lowest score in IPL history. GT defeated DC by 14 runs to maintain their flawless competition record by winning two of their two games.

They have one of the most consistent hitters in the form of KL Rahul, David Miller, Kane Williamson, and Shubman Gill. It is safe to say for now, GT has the capacity to maintain dominance like CSK for many years to come.
