Gujarat Titans vs Delhi Capitals Predicted XI: After suffering two heartbreaking defeats in IPL 2026, Gujarat Titans will get the much-needed boost as their captain, Shubman Gill, will feature in the team’s next fixture against Delhi Capitals, set to be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on April 8, Wednesday. Addressing the press conference before matchday, Gill’s fellow opener Sai Sudharsan made it clear that Gill will indeed feature in the match against Delhi.
Sudharsan, in his address to the reporters, said, “Shubman has no problem; he is completely fine. He will be fine,” Sudharsan said on Tuesday.
IPL 2026, Shubman Gill’s Injury:
As per Rashid Khan, the vice-captain of the Gujarat Titans, Gill experienced muscle spasm, which ruled him out of the game against the Rajasthan Royals. Notably, GT lost that match by a margin of six runs. Shubman, who was also spotted batting in the practice nets ahead of Wednesday’s clash, will be a key proponent in the batting order.
