The 18th season of the Indian Premier League is about to end. Former champions, Gujarat Titans, are scheduled to face off against the Delhi Capitals in match number 60, which will be held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Hyderabad. Both teams are keen to return to winning form as they head into the final crucial matches of the season.
In their last fixture of the season, Gujrat Titans triumphed over Delhi Capitals by 7 wickets. While a win for GT will help them stay at the top of the leaderboard, a victory for Delhi Capitals will keep their hopes alive in the competition.
Here are the three key player battles to watch out for in this match:
3. Sai Sudarshan vs Kuldeep Yadav

Both the left-handed cricketers have been in sublime form in this edition of the IPL. While one has exploded with the bat, the other has been influential with the ball. While Kuldeep Yadav hasn’t been able to scalp Sai’s wicket, the latter has also been unable to break his shackles against the left-arm chinaman. Sai has scored just 22 runs in 19 deliveries against Kuldeep and hit just a boundary. This match may script a new history in their duel.
2. Kl Rahul vs Mohammad Siraj

Neither of the two Indian stars has had an extraordinary season so far. Far. While Rahul has scored 385 runs in 10 matches this season, Siraj has scalped 15 wickets in 11 innings so far. Their rivalry has also been very closely contested over the years. Rahul has scored 97 runs in 56 balls of Siraj having hit 15 boundaries in total. The DSP has also shown Rahul his path to the pavilion two times.
1. Shubman Gill vs Axar Patel

Shubman Gill, popularly known as the prince of Indian cricket, announced his arrival in the IPL 2025. Patel has been very consistent this season. While Gill is gunning for the Orange Cap, having scored 508 runs, Patel has performed his duties as an all-rounder by scoring 238 runs and scalping 6 wickets. Although the spinner hasn’t been able to pick up the wicket of Gill in the IPL so far, he will be looking to come out on top in the battle of the skippers.
