Delhi Capitals received the toss and selected to bowl vs Gujarat Titans
Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel received the toss for the third consecutive time and, like he did within the final two video games, put the opposition in to bat. Shubman Gill recovered from his neck sprain and returned to captain Gujarat Titans.
The hosts are unchanged. Gill changed Kumar Kushagra for GT.
Axar needed to make use of the moisture that will have amassed on the pitch as there was rain within the lead as much as the sport. DC resisted the temptation there might have been to bat first as three of the 4 video games on pitch no. 5 throughout IPL 2025 and 2026 was received by the group batting first.
Speaking on his return, Gill stated his neck is “much better now”. GT’s center order has been beneath scrutiny as their returns within the first two video games has been low. But Glenn Phillips, Washington Sundar, Shahrukh Khan and Rahul Tewatia have been given the vote of belief. ‘It’s about clicking within the one recreation,” Gill said. “Last recreation, we got here fairly shut. It’s only one man sticking until the tip”
