DC vs GT Toss Update: Delhi Capitals won the toss at Arun Jaitley Stadium. Skipper Axar Patel opted to bowl first against the Gujarat Titans. Shubman Gill returned to the GT playing XI and will lead the visitors as they search for their first win of the season.
The weather in the national capital will remain under the spotlight as the two teams with contrasting starts to their campaign meet. The hosts for the night, DC, have emerged victorious in both of their fixtures so far in the season. Sameer Rizvi, who was named the player of the match in both games, has impressed the fans and the Capitals management. Meanwhile, GT have had a poor start to their campaign, losing both their games.
The Delhi Capitals could not have asked for a better start to their IPL 2026 season. The Axar Patel-led unit, despite some players not firing, has managed to win both of their games so far in the season. While key players like KL Rahul and Nitish Rana have struggled with the bat in hand, Sameer Rizvi’s incredible run of form has managed to paper over the cracks. The 22-year-old batter has scored 160 runs in two games, winning the POTM award on both occasions. His strike rate of 163.26 in the two clashes has meant that he has been putting the bowlers under pressure. He ranks second on the list for most runs scored in the season behind Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has played an extra game.
Meanwhile, Natarajan and Lungi Ngidi have been the standout performers with the ball in hand. The two pacers have picked up four wickets each in the two games. Their economy of less than eight runs per over stands out as a prominent reason for DC’s dominance so far.
Gujarat Titans’ start to the IPL 2026 season has been pretty poor to say the least. The champions from 2022 have failed to win their first two games of the season. They lost to a well-rounded Punjab Kings in their opening game. In their second clash, GT was put on the back foot before the game against the Rajasthan Royals began. Their skipper, Shubman Gill, suffering from a spasm, had been sidelined from the clash. Rashid Khan led in Gill’s absence as GT lost in the final over at home. However, Gill returns to the playing XI as confirmed by his opening partner, Sai Sudharsan. The two openers will have happy memories of the Arun Jaitley Stadium, having shared a 205-run opening stand in a winning effort last season.
