Gujarat Titans’ epic win seals playoff spot, boosts RCB and PBKS too. Sanjay Manjrekar predicts final IPL 2025 playoff race with emotional twist.
GUJARAT’S BIG WIN FLIPS THE IPL 2025 TABLE—AND HEARTS TOO
No one saw this coming—not like this. On a warm Sunday evening, Gujarat Titans didn’t just win a match. They rewrote the script of IPL 2025. Led by a calm yet charged-up Shubman Gill, the Titans chased down a massive 200-run target against Delhi Capitals in just 19 overs. Not a single wicket fell. Not one. Sai Sudharsan hit an unbeaten century, Gill stood tall with 93*. Together, they crushed DC and lit up the league with a moment fans won’t forget.
ONE WIN, THREE QUALIFICATIONS—CHAOS IN THE STANDS, SMILES ALL AROUND
It wasn’t just a win—it was a shockwave. That one match suddenly sent not just Gujarat, but also Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings into the playoffs. Yes, all three. That’s not something you see every day in cricket. Fans were left stunned, some even checking the points table twice. GT now stands with 18 points, RCB and PBKS just behind with 17 each. One win changed everything—and that’s the madness we love about IPL.
SANJAY MANJREKAR’S HEARTFELT REACTION—CRICKET LOGIC WINS, FINALLY
Veteran cricketer and popular commentator Sanjay Manjrekar was honestly thrilled. On Jio Hotstar, he smiled and said, “It feels good when cricket logic actually works out. Gujarat not only helped themselves but also did a little community service for RCB and PBKS. That’s the beauty of the game.” There was an emotional ring in his voice—as if he too was riding the wave with fans. You could feel it. And when he’s happy, you know something went right.

Now, all eyes are on the fourth and final playoff slot. Manjrekar believes it’s going to be either Delhi Capitals or Mumbai Indians. “If Delhi wins both their remaining matches, they deserve it,” he said. It’s a bold but honest prediction. The pressure’s on, and every ball will count now.

TOP 2 SPOT: WHY IT MATTERS MORE THAN YOU THINK
Manjrekar also stressed the importance of finishing in the top two. “You don’t want two months of hard work to end because of one bad day. Top two teams get two shots at the final—that’s fair,” he added.
The league ends May 27, playoffs begin May 29, and the grand finale? Mark your calendar—June 3. But before that, the race is heating up like never before.
