DC vs GT Toss Result, Playing XIs: Tonight at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, it’s a battle between 4th-ranked Delhi Capitals and 9th-ranked Gujarat Titans. Capitals remain unbeaten after two dominant wins, while the Titans came close in both of their opening games but fell short each time.
Delhi’s top-order has shown some vulnerability, but their middle-order has stepped up brilliantly. Sameer Rizvi has been the star, delivering two fab innings that have largely covered for the struggles at the top, particularly those of KL Rahul. However, a player of KL’s caliber won’t stay quiet for long, and he’ll surely be eager to make a statement tonight.
DC vs GT Toss Result: Delhi Capitals have won the toss and have opted to field
Delhi Capitals Playing XI: KL Rahul(w), Pathum Nissanka, Nitish Rana, Vipraj Nigam, Axar Patel(c), David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Kuldeep Yadav, Lungi Ngidi, T Natarajan, Mukesh Kumar.
Gujarat Titans Playing XI: Shubman Gill(c), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler(w), Washington Sundar, Glenn Phillips, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Ashok Sharma.
DC skipper Axar Patel: We will bowl first. We've chased well in the last two matches and this is a fresh wicket. It's been raining; there could be some moisture. Bowl first, have a look at the wicket, restrict them and chase down the score. We look at the match-ups, making it as difficult as possible for the batters and choose the best possible bowlers. Same XI for us.
Delhi weather update: The day has been fairly pleasant so far in Delhi. Although an afternoon shower was predicted, nothing significant has occurred yet. Some clouds are present, but they don’t appear threatening. However, last night did see a considerable amount of rain.
All eyes are on KL Rahul, who has managed only 1 run across two matches so far. He was out for a golden duck in DC’s opener against LSG and scored just 1 run in the second game versus MI. Typically one of the IPL’s most reliable batters, will Rahul finally deliver his first significant innings of the 2026 season today?
