IPL 2025: Predicting DC’s playing XI for their clash against GT

The Delhi Capitals need to seal their spot in the playoffs. To do so, they have to win the remaining matches and finish at the top of the table to avoid any mishaps. Delhi had a narrow escape against the Sunrisers Hyderabad as rain saved the day for them.

Before that game, they played against the Kolkata Knight Riders and lost by 14 runs. The last few games haven’t been great for the Capitals, and they somehow need to turn the tide around. They are now facing the mighty Gujarat Titans at their home ground in Delhi, which will be their final match at home. 

Batters:

Faf du Plessis

The opening will be the veteran Faf du Plessis and Abhishek Porel. The duo hasn’t fired in the last few games, and they need to give Delhi Capitals the best start. KL Rahul also needs to find form soon, as he is the one who should carry the batting. Sameer Rizvi and Tristan Stubbs give balance to their middle-order batting.

Bowlers:

Mitchell Starc

Delhi’s opening attack is led by Mitchell Starc, and he is a big match performer. With Natarajan and Chameera in the squad, he can feel free to strike early, as the Gujarat Openers can take the game away if given a chance. Captain Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav and Vipraj Nigam will be effective in the middle overs. Death bowling can be shared between Natarajan and Starc.

Impact Players:

Mohit Sharma

The impact players will be based on the circumstances, as we feel Karun Nair will be brought in if there is a hostile situation for the Capitals. Ashutosh can be brought in if there is a requirement of a blitz knock, and we don’t see McGurk, Mohit Sharma, and Mukesh Kumar come into the squad as Impact players.
