T Natarajan To Washington Sundar
SIX! MAIDEN IPL FIFTY FOR SUNDAR! This has been a fantastic knock and a very crucial one for GT as well. T Natarajan misses his length again and bowls a low full toss, on middle. Washington Sundar opens up his hips, crouches low and smokes it over the deep mid-wicket fence for a biggie.

T Natarajan To Glenn Phillips
Fuller and on middle, Glenn Phillips lofts it but as soon as he hits it, he thinks it is going straight to long on. He puts his bat down, but seeing the ball not carrying, he picks it up and gets down to the other end for a single.
Mukesh Kumar or T Natarajan, who will bowl the 19th over? It will be Natarajan.

Lungi Ngidi To Shubman Gill OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Lungi Ngidi strikes big here. He rolls his fingers again to give no pace to the batter, serves this full and on off. Shubman Gill tries to get under it and go big downtown, but fails to do so and also loses a bit of his shape. He mistimes the shot high in the air due to the lack of pace and Nitish Rana at extra cover moves to his right, settles under it and takes a good catch. End of a fine knock from the GT skipper.

Kuldeep Yadav To Shubman Gill
A wrong 'un, short and around off. Shubman Gill surprisingly leaves it alone, thinking it is a wide, but gets nothing from the umpire. However, he takes the review this time. The replay shows that the ball is well within the tramline. The on-field call remains and GT lose a review.

T Natarajan To Shubman Gill
Goes for the slower bumper, keeps it away from the batter, outside off but a bit too much. Shubman Gill throws his hands to reach out for it but misses. It is called a wide, but KL Rahul thinks it is touch and go and convinces Axar Patel to take the review. The replay shows that Gill is standing outside off stump and the revised wide guidelines come up on the screen. The third umpire sees that some part of the ball is inside that guideline and the on-field call is overturned. Good review from DC!

T Natarajan To Shubman Gill
Fuller in length and on middle, Shubman Gill clips it away to deep mid-wicket for a single.
Strategic Break! Gujarat Titans have built up a solid platform to go big in the last 5 overs. Shubman Gill has marked his return with a fantastic half-century, while Washington Sundar has played the role of the aggressor finely. GT will hope these two can play most of the balls from here, but they do have a lot of firepower and will be disappointed if they don't go past 200. Delhi Capitals are in a tough spot and they need a couple of wickets to stop the run flow.

FOUR! What a way to bring up the FIFTY on return from Shubman Gill. Slower delivery, full and dipping on the batter. Gill picks it up well and waits before firmly flicking it away to the right of deep square leg for a boundary. He will now look to accelerate at the backend of this innings.

Axar Patel To Shubman Gill
DROPPED? Seems like it. Axar Patel sees Shubman Gill coming down the pitch and shortens the length, bowling it flat and outside off. Gill doesn't reach the pitch of the delivery but goes through with the shot and mistimes it aerially over mid on. David Miller comes charging in from long on and dives forward, getting fingers on the ball but the trajectory makes it almost impossible for him to get the fingers completely underneath it. A single is taken.

Kuldeep pushes this one through quicker, shortish and around middle, but just holds up in the surface a bit. Buttler opens up his stance and looks to heave across the line, but ends up going through the shot a bit early.

Axar Patel To Jos Buttler
Floated, short and on middle, angling in. Jos Buttler stays back and punches it to sweeper cover for a single. That also brings up the 50-RUN STAND between these two batters.
STRATEGIC BREAK! The Powerplay has certainly been a story of two halves, with DC getting the big wicket of Sai Sudharsan in the first 3 overs, and then Jos Buttler exploding in the next 3. Buttler seems like a man on a mission and his sensational hitting has helped Gill get his eye in at the other end. The duo will be looking to play the long game and try to keep chipping away in the middle overs. However, the Capitals will be hoping that Kuldeep Yadav can make an impact in the middle phase and get them a few breakthroughs. Should be an interesting phase of play, so let's get right into it.

FOUR! Gets it away! Mukesh Kumar follows the batter, lands this on a good length, angling into the leg side. Jos Buttler backs away and flicks it away smoothly, picking the gap between mid-wicket and square leg for a boundary now. 16 runs already with three balls to go in the over.

Mukesh Kumar To Jos Buttler
Tap and run! Around the top of off, Buttler plays a gentle nudge in front of mid off and races through for the single. GT are 27/1 after midway through the Powerplay.
Oh..no! KL Rahul looks in a lot of pain after getting hit on the middle finger of his left hand. The physio comes in to check on him. Rahul goes for the old home remedy of biting on that finger. Seems like it has worked and he is good to go again.

Mukesh Kumar To Jos Buttler
WIDE! Ouch! KL Rahul seems to have caught an awkward blow here. Back of a length, angled down the leg side, and the ball just curves late after leaving the batter. Rahul tries to pouch it, moving to his left, but cops a blow on the fingers and takes off his gloves right away. Hopefully, he is fine.

Mukesh Kumar To Sai Sudharsan OUT!
OUT! PLAYED ON! Mukesh Kumar makes an impact with the ball for DC yet again. Mukesh keeps the length around the top of the stumps and angles the ball across the left-hander. Sai Sudharsan stays put and looks to cut but the ball shapes back in a touch and finds the inside edge. The ball goes back on to rattle the stumps and the Capitals pick up a big wicket early in the Powerplay.

Mukesh Kumar To Sai Sudharsan
WIDE! Good-length delivery on leg stump, swings down the leg side and Sudharsan fails to get it away. Half an appeal from the keeper for a caught behind, probably just to avoid a wide call.

FOUR! Up and running in style. Good-length delivery, too straight in line. Sai Sudharsan walks down the pitch and tucks it away sweetly and in front of mid-wicket as the ball races away to the fence.
We are all set to start! There has been some overnight rain, but hopefully it stays away during the game. The Delhi Capitals players gather in a huddle, with Axar Patel offering words of wisdom, before spreading out and taking up their respective field positions. Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill are the two openers for the Gujarat Titans. The in-form Mukesh Kumar has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. A slip in place as well. Let's play...
Lungi Ngidi has a chat with the broadcasters - Ngidi says that he has been able to stay calm and read situations better in recent times and will be looking to continue that form from the World Cup earlier in the year. On his bowling variety, he says that working with Dwayne Bravo earlier on in his career helped, and now he just tries to develop and practice things on his own.
The skipper of Gujarat Titans - Shubman Gill says that the neck is much better. Adds that they were going to bat first anyway and if the weather stays as it is, there won't be much dew in the second innings. Hopes that they assess the conditions early and set the tone in the Powerplay. Gill mentions that it is all about clicking in the one game as they came close in the previous one as well. Informs that they have just one change in the side as he comes in place of Kumar Kushagra.
The captain of Delhi Capitals - Axar Patel says that they have chased well in the last couple of games and it is a fresh wicket. Adds that there is a bit of rain around and if there is some moisture, they want to use that with the ball early and restrict the opposition to a low total. Axar mentions that he doesn't only look at the match-ups, he reads the conditions and situations to make his bowling changes. Informs that they are going with the same team.
Impact Player options for DC - Ashutosh Sharma, Auqib Nabi, Sameer Rizvi, Dushmantha Chameera, and Karun Nair.
Delhi Capitals (Unchanged XI) - KL Rahul (WK), Pathum Nissanka, Nitish Rana, Vipraj Nigam, Axar Patel (C), David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Kuldeep Yadav, Lungi Ngidi, T Natarajan, and Mukesh Kumar.
Impact Player options for GT - Prasidh Krishna, Jason Holder, Manav Suthar, Jayant Yadav, and Anuj Rawat.
Gujarat Titans (Playing XI) - Shubman Gill (C) (In for Kumar Kushagra), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (WK), Washington Sundar, Glenn Phillips, Shahrukh Khan (In for Prasidh Krishna), Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, and Ashok Sharma.
TOSS - It's toss time in Delhi! The two captains, Axar Patel and the returning Shubman Gill, are out there in the middle. Patel gives it a flick, and Gill calls 'Tails.' It lands as 'Heads,' and Delhi Capitals opt to BOWL first.
Let's now hear from Glenn Phillips - Phillips says that it is the same for him as everyone else in this team, and he is trying to improve from the last couple of games. Adds that they got themselves in a good position but couldn't finish it off last time around. Mentions that it is a new day, they need to go about their process, stay in the game and hopefully get over the line as momentum is important in this long tournament. Phillips shares that he tries to focus on the things that he can control and makes him happy to stay motivated for each game. Ends by saying that having Matthew Hayden in the camp has been great, it's excellent to pick his brains, and he hopes to use his experience to extend his personal game as well.
PITCH REPORT - Daren Ganga is pitchside. He says that the square boundaries are equidistant at 63 meters, while the straight hit is 73 meters. Adds that the dimensions behind him are sub-60 meters and batters will look to target them. Kevin Pietersen joins him and says that the pitch is a bit lighter in colour with fewer dark patches of grass from the day game earlier this season. Shares that there is also a bit of sheen and reckons even though it will be good for batting, it may not be that high-scoring. Ends by saying that with a little bit of rain around and less grass, spin will play a factor.
Looking for a complete game - Gujarat Titans, on the other hand, are 0-2 in terms of wins and losses this season and will be hoping that their skipper, Shubman Gill is fit to play this game. The top order hasn't been a problem but apart from Sai Sudharsan's knock of 70-odd in the last match, the top order has been lacking in terms of big runs. However, it is the middle order that has been the major issue and GT need to find someone reliable at the number 4 or 5 position. The bowling has also been a mixed bag for the Titans. Prasidh Krishna has been among the wickets but he came into the attack very late in the first game. Mohammed Siraj was predictable with his lines in the last game but was given only two overs upfront when he bowled well in the first game. Ashok Sharma has emerged as an out-and-out pace option, but again, Kagiso Rabada needs to lead the pack better. The anticipation is growing in Delhi and the stands are starting to get filled by the minute and we are not that far away from the toss as well, so stay tuned.
Replicating the last season - Delhi Capitals won their first four games in the 2025 season, setting a solid base for the rest of the season, and they will be hoping to make it a hat-trick of wins today to kick-start the 2026 season as well. So far, the Capitals have played some excellent cricket, especially in the field but their batting does need improvement. Sameer Rizvi has been the standout performer with the bat, with back-to-back Player of the Match performances but the likes of KL Rahul and other up top have struggled. Meanwhile, Mukesh Kumar has led the bowling attack well but their star spin duo of Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav are yet to make a big impact on the game.
A collision of contrasting fortunes - Hello, and a warm welcome to one and all. We are at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi for Match number 14 of the 2026 IPL season and the hosts, Delhi Capitals, will be taking on Gujarat Titans. It is the battle of a team that has started its season with back-to-back wins against a team that is yet to get its first points on the board.
... MATCH DAY ...
Kotla in action again - The IPL 2026 is well heated up now, and matches come like the Delhi metro, one after the other. We move back to the national capital for Match 14 of the season as Delhi Capitals welcome Gujarat Titans to the town in what is shaping up to be a humdinger of a contest. Both teams have had absolutely contrasting journeys so far. DC have started off pretty well, winning both their opening games, including a home game as well, against the mighty MI. They are currently placed in the upper echelons of the points table. On the other hand, the Gujarat Titans are coming off a stinging defeat to the Rajasthan Royals. A game that went all the way down to the wire. Their hopes were buried in the chase, but their lower order helped them to get a real sniff at it, but it wasn’t to be. The Titans, along with the Super Kings, are the only two teams that are yet to get on board in this season. A loss here will mean a lot of catching up to do mid-season. So, from GT’s point of view, this is a crucial, crucial clash to finally get the first points. DC moving in sync - That’s what one might make of their season so far. Their bowling has been exceptional through Mukesh Kumar and Lungi Ngidi, setting the tone nicely upfront with the new ball. Then the spinners duo, along with T Natarajan, have ruled the middle and death over phase in both games. And because of such completeness in the attack, they have managed to restrict their opponents to middling scores, which they have chased down with relative ease. The defining feature is how they started in the Powerplay. Conceding just 48/2 and 41/2 while bowling first on both occasions, the Capitals have set the tone right from the start, which has allowed the bowlers to be themselves and operate with much more freedom. Not perfect, just yet - However, despite looking solid in all departments, there are some minor wrinkles to iron out as their season moves ahead. While Sameer Rizvi has hit the top gear through his match-winning knocks in both games, the top order has actually been very inconsistent at best. KL Rahul, their most prolific and experienced batter, is yet to get out of single digits, whereas Nitish Rana, coming in at number 3, hasn’t provided the spark he was expected to so far. Pathum Nissanka, after misfiring in the opener, smashed a brisk 44 against MI, which would surely do the world of good for his confidence. The middle order is not a problem at all for the Capitals, with, of course, Rizvi justifying his place at number 4 and truckloads of franchise and international experience with the two destructive South Africans in Miller and Stubbs to follow next. It’s only when the top order finds its rhythm that this team will look like a complete one. The Gill question - All eyes are now on Shubman Gill. His absence in the last game due to a spasm left a noticeable gap. The team management has hinted it is not serious, but there is still no clear word on whether he will play in Delhi. If he misses out again, Rashid Khan will continue to lead, but more importantly, the batting takes a hit. Gill is not just a run scorer, he is the glue at the top. Without him, the middle order suddenly feels exposed, which has already been vulnerable at best. Glenn Phillips can provide the late punch, but the likes of Shahrukh Khan and Rahul Tewatia are yet to get going this season. That makes things look a bit thin, especially under pressure. Rashid and Rabada almost, almost brought GT alive from the ashes through their cameos, but one would expect such from the ones who are there for that role, as every day isn’t the same. To be fair, they have not had a lot of chances either. The top three of Gill, Sudharsan, and Buttler have been so dominant, doing most of the heavy lifting. Take Gill out, and that entire flow indeed gets disrupted. Which is why this game carries a little extra weight for Gujarat. It is not just about points. It is about finding balance again. Speed guns going for a toss - 154.2 kph. The fastest ball of IPL 2026 so far. And no, it did not come from the usual headline makers. It came from Ashok Sharma, a name that is quickly moving from ‘who’s that?’ to ‘keep an eye on him’. He has always had that raw pace in domestic cricket, proper bazooka stuff, and the Gujarat Titans brought him in to add bite alongside the Rabada, Krishna, and Siraj trio. So far, he has held his own. Not spectacular, but definitely impactful enough to justify the call. That said, the bigger picture for the Titans’ bowling is a bit uneven. The need for control - The Powerplay has been a concern. Conceding 55 and 69 in the first six overs across two games is not ideal, especially when your strength is supposed to be your pace battery. Mohammed Siraj, the senior figure in the attack, is still searching for rhythm and control, and that has shown. Spin is another area that feels slightly undercooked. Rashid Khan remains the go-to guy, the banker as always, but beyond him, the threat level dips. Washington Sundar adds control, sure, but he hasn’t been utilised as much. Also, GT were guilty of using just five bowlers against the Royals despite going for plenty. And then there is the Sai Kishore question. The second-highest wicket-taker for them last season, yet he has not featured so far. If it is not injury-related, it does raise a few eyebrows. Team form (Last 5 completed matches, recent first) - DC - WWLLL | GT - LLLLL. The number game - Still a fresh rivalry, still finding its edge. Gujarat Titans hold a narrow 4-3 lead over Delhi Capitals in seven meetings so far, but it is the recent memory that really adds spice here. Last season, the Titans did a clean double over Delhi, and not in subtle fashion. They chased down 200-plus targets both times, making it look almost routine. One of those nights turned into a complete demolition job at Kotla. Gill and Sudharsan just went absolutely berserk, tearing the bowling apart. Sudharsan brought up a stunning hundred, Gill cruised to 93, and Delhi were left chasing shadows in their own backyard. Hence, DC have some scores to settle when they take the field at Kotla this time around. It’s locked and loaded and promises entertainment aplenty. Should be a humdinger.
