Delhi Capitals playing 11 vs Gujarat Titans – IPL 2024, match 40
David Warner
Warner hasn’t been as free so far this season. He scored only one in his previous match against SRH. He has just scored 167 runs in the first seven games at a strike rate of 135.77 and an average of less than 25.
Prithvi Shaw
Shaw started well but has been declining in the IPL as of now. He scored 16 off five balls in the match against SRH. In total, he has scored 174 runs in six matches at an average of 29. He is scoring with a high strike rate, but not too many.
Jake Fraser-McGurk
He scored 65b off just 18 balls in the big chase against SRH. His offensive approach to hitting is the approach C hitters need.
Rishabh Pant (C/WK)
It will be located at four. He scored 44 off 35 balls against SRH at a strike rate of 125, but it was a lost cause. The DC captain has scored 254 runs in five matches at a strike rate of 150.30.
Tristan Stubbs
Stubbs has been a good addition to the middle order for DC. He has made important cameos for his team so far this season. He has scored 199 runs in the tournament and scored them at a strike rate of 180.91.
Axar Patel
Axar Patel will take over at six. He hasn’t scored runs consistently with the bat for the Delhi Capitals, but he has been stingy with the bat for the team. His association with Kuldeep Yadav has been key.
Lalit Yadav
Lalit is an all-rounder but he doesn’t have much chance with the bat. His main job remains with the ball to bowl economical overs in the middle.
Kuldeep Yadav
Kuldeep will come in at eight. He missed a few games due to injury and DC missed him greatly. He missed 4/55 in the match against SRH and 10 in five matches so far in this season’s IPL.
Anrich Nortje
Nortje is the fourth foreign player specialized in the eleven. He joined the team late and was cut from a few games. Against SRH, he scored 31 in his three overs.
Khaleel Ahmed
Khaleel will be one of the two Indian pacers in the DC XI. He went wicketless in the previous match bowling a spell of 51 in three overs. He has taken 10 wickets in 8 games.
Mukesh Kumar
Mukesh will be the second Indian pacer in the XI. He has taken nine wickets in five games so far this season. In total, he has 16 IPL wickets.
