Abishek Porel to score under 23.5 runs
The left-handed wicketkeeper-batter is young and talented but may want to improve his consistency in the shortest format of the game. His previous three innings have produced scores of 28, 4 and 8. Outside of his single half-century, he only has just over 200 runs in ten innings this season.
First method of dismissal of the Gujarat Titans innings to be caught
This is an excellent value deal and with the liklihood that Mitchell Starc will not return, this becomes all the more attractive. Take it and run.
Delhi Capitals will be looking to use familiarity with home conditions in turning up with a better showing this time around. Their two left-arm wicket-takers in Mitchell Starc and Kuldeep Yadav will be crucial. Gujarat Titans have built their results on a top three batting lineup which is the envy of most teams in the league. Prasidh Krishna has played his part with the ball too.

Veteran opener Faf du Plessis tallied 438 runs with four half-centuries in 2024. Fellow South African Tristan Stubbs was the team’s second-highest scorer with 378 runs and a strike rate of almost 200 in the same season. KL Rahul has been in red-hot form, amassing more than 380 runs with three fifties.
Wicketkeeper-batter Abishek Porel has chipped in strongly with over 260 runs. Young Sameer Rizvi adds lower-order punch despite limited IPL chances. He has over 500 T20 runs.
Captain and left-arm spinner Axar Patel balances the side. In 2024, he scored 235 runs with a high score of 66 and claimed 11 wickets. Kuldeep Yadav provides wrist-spin variety while snaring 99 IPL wickets. Newcomer Madhav Tiwari is a hard-hitting all-round prospect without much domestic experience to speak of.
Delhi’s seamers combine experience and penetration. Mitchell Starc leads the pace unit with 65 IPL wickets to date. Fellow overseas seamer Dushmantha Chameera brings raw pace and venom while carrying on with his three wickets in three bowling innings this IPL. Left-armer Thangarasu Natarajan is a yorker specialist and has a well-deserved track record of 68 wickets in the IPL.
There is likelihood that a number of overseas players like Mitchell Starc and Jake Frazer McGurk may not return and that will leave DC in a very tough spot.

Sai Sudharsan, Captain Shubman Gill and wicketkeeper Jos Buttler have been key run-scorers. Left-hander Sudharsan leads Gujarat with 509 runs, Gill has 508 runs and Buttler 500 runs. Each of them has smashed five scores of 50 or more, reflecting their ability to win games off their own bat.
Sherfane Rutherford, Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan add crucial depth across all the necessary departments of the game. Rutherford has often played explosive late-order cameo knocks, with his highest IPL score of 46 coming this year.
Tewatia remains a dangerous finisher with a sky-high strike-rate of 191.42 and useful part-time leg-spin if tasked to break key partnerships. Veteran spinner Rashid Khan has yet to hit the heights of previous seasons but remains a threat with 157 IPL career wickets. He is also the third-fastest to hit the 150-wickets in the IPL mark.
Gerald Coetzee and Arshad Khan are two key role-players in the pace attack after Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna. Express pacer Coetzee impressed with 13 wickets in ten games for Mumbai Indians in 2024. Arshad Khan adds swing and lower order hitting to keep the variation in the Titans bowling unit flowing.
Left-arm spinner Sai Kishore has been tidy for Gujarat with 14 wickets this season, his personal best IPL season. Mohammed Siraj has claimed 15 wickets and a four-wicket haul this year. He has gone from strength to strength with 49 wickets over the past three seasons. The standout is Prasidh Krishna, who tops the charts with 20 wickets. He has become one of the Purple Cap frontrunners in IPL 2025.

This may not be a clear-cut decision either way. The previous Delhi and Gujarat match was decided by the side batting second when Gujarat Titans hammered home a seven-wicket win. The captains could have a swing at bowling first.
In the 2025 IPL season, the trend of high-scoring matches continued in what has become second nature to expect of the Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch. All five first-innings scores at Delhi in 2024 were over the 200-run mark with the second innings totals all reaching 189 runs or more.
The average total in the first innings at Arun Jaitley Stadium in 2025 is 189. The spinners may occasionally bear fruit on this track, but the batters will largely be the ones walking off with smiles on their faces.
The players will need to get the fluids out to stay hydrated in the warm conditions. Humidity will play its part as well. Rain is unlikely to be a concern at a five percent chance.
Delhi have lost their past two home games and needing a super over for their previous win at their home venue. Gujarat Titans had a bit of a hiccup against Rajasthan Royals with an eight-wicket loss but have largely been irresistible around that blip. The team from Gujarat has four wins in their last five games and are likely to be better served in terms of player availability.
DC vs GT win percentage stands at 56% in favor of GT.
