Gujarat Titans: Old-School Strategy, New-Age Execution Gujarat Titans vs Delhi Capitals

There’s a slightly old-school flavor to GT’s approach this season. The team is top-heavy with a stronger bowling unit, but they’ve shown flexibility—winning twice batting first and twice chasing. Before their loss to LSG in Lucknow, they were on a four-match winning streak. Under Shubman Gill’s leadership, GT have looked like a well-rounded unit, primarily driven by their bowling strength.

While the team leans heavily on Shubman Gill with the bat, the skipper hasn’t yet found peak form. Thankfully for GT, Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler have stepped up, masking the captain’s lean patch. In the bowling department, Prasidh Krishna and Mohammad Siraj have been impressively efficient. Rashid Khan has had a mixed season, but Sai Kishore has been a bright spot, despite getting hammered by Nicholas Pooran in their last outing.

Delhi Capitals: Momentum-Fueled and Middle-Order Strong Gujarat Titans vs Delhi Capitals

 

The Capitals are coming off a thrilling Super Over win against Rajasthan Royals at home—momentum that they’ll be eager to carry forward. Under Axar Patel’s captaincy, DC have shown the ability to pull off wins from nowhere, making them an unpredictable and dangerous side.

Even with Faf du Plessis sidelined and Jake Fraser-McGurk misfiring, DC’s middle order has been dependable. KL Rahul has stood out with consistent performances, supported ably by Tristan Stubbs. The team also boasts their X-factor in Ashutosh Sharma, who made an immediate impact in the tournament opener against LSG.

DC’s bowling has been spin-heavy and effective. While Axar Patel is still regaining full rhythm after a finger injury, Kuldeep Yadav leads the spin attack with class, and Vipraj Nigam has emerged as a promising young talent. With the game set at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the large dimensions could aid their bowling strategy—provided the pitch plays along.
