Team Compositions and Playing XI Probables: GT vs DC (IPL 2025)
Gujarat Titans (GT) Probable XI
- Sai Sudharsan
- Shubman Gill (C)
- Jos Buttler (WK)
- Washington Sundar
- Shahrukh Khan
- Sherfane Rutherford
- Rahul Tewatia
- Rashid Khan
- Sai Kishore
- Mohammed Siraj
- Prasidh Krishna
- Arshad Khan
Team Strategy: The top order has been in quite good form, with the middle-order batters like Washington Sundar, Shahrukh Khan, and Rutherford being amongst the runs. They have a good pace to exploit conditions at Ahmedabad and spinners to them.
Despite a loss in the last game versus LSG, the Titans will likely stick to the same
Delhi Capitals (DC) Probable XI
- Jake Fraser-McGurk
- Abishek Porel
- KL Rahul
- Axar Patel (c)
- Karun Nair
- Tristan Stubbs
- Ashutosh Sharma
- Vipraj Nigam
- Mitchell Starc
- Kuldeep Yadav
- Mohit Sharma
- Mukesh Kumar
Team Strategy: Jake Fraser-McGruk hasn’t scored this season, and that is their only concern regarding the top order. DC bowlers have been in fine form and pulled the game in their favor from a certain loss against RR.
Team News: If Faf du Plessis does get fit, he should replace an out-of-form Fraser-McGruk; otherwise, the same team is expected.
