The Delhi Capitals, under the captaincy of star India all-rounder Axar Patel, are currently in action in the ongoing IPL 2025. They are currently placed in the fifth spot on the tournament standings, with six wins and five defeats, alongside a ‘no-result’ game in their 12 games so far.

The team recently lost to the Gujarat Titans by a massive margin of 10 wickets in the 60th game of the tournament. Gujarat Titans successfully chased down the target of 200 runs, scoring 205 runs for no loss in just 19 overs. 

With that said, here we’ll have a look at the top 3 highest successful run-chases against Delhi Capitals in IPL history. 

1. Gujarat Titans – 204-run target (IPL 2025) 

Gujarat Titans hosted Delhi Capitals in Ahmedabad in the 35th match of the ongoing IPL 2025. The hosts’ skipper, Shubman Gill, won the toss and asked DC to bat first. Batting first, the visitors posted a big total of 203 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in the allotted 20 overs, owing to the mixed contributions of their top and middle-order. 

While chasing the target, the Shubman Gill-led side comfortably chased down the target with four balls to spare, scoring 204 runs after losing just three wickets and winning the game by 7 wickets. Star wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler played an unbeaten and match-winning knock of 97 runs off just 54 balls, with 11 fours and four sixes. It ranks as the highest successful run chase against DC in the history of the Indian Premier League. 

2. Gujarat Titans – 200-run target (IPL 2025) 

It’s the most recent target chased against DC, and it happened to be chased on Sunday, May 18 2025. Once again, GT won the toss and, like the previous clash, they decided to bowl first. Batting first, the DC posted 199 runs for the loss of 3 wickets, courtesy of KL Rahul’s unbeaten century (112 runs off 65 balls, with 14 fours and four sixes). 

But the tables were turned by the GT openers, Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill, while chasing the target in the second innings. The duo stitched an unbeaten and outstanding opening partnership of 205 runs to help GT win the game by a huge margin of 10 wickets. Sudharsan smashed 108 runs off 61 balls, with 12 fours and four sixes, alongside Gill’s 93 runs off 53 balls, with three fours and seven sixes. 

3. Chennai Super Kings – 188-run target (IPL 2008) 

Almost 17 years ago, in the inaugural IPL edition in 2008, Delhi Capitals (formerly Delhi Daredevils) took on each other in the 28th match of the tournament. The game was played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on May 8, 2008. CSK skipper MS Dhoni won the toss and asked Delhi to bat first. Batting first, the hosts scored 187 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in the allotted 20 overs, owing to the brilliant half-centuries scored by Gautam Gambhir and Shikhar Dhawan. 

While chasing the target, CSK scored 188 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 20 overs and won the game by 4 wickets. CSK openers, Vidyut Sivaramakrishnan and Stephen Fleming, played the crucial knocks of 40 and 44 runs, respectively, followed by 33 and 30 runs, scored by MS Dhoni and Albie Morkel.
