Gujarat Titans will take on Delhi Capitals in match 32 of IPL 2024 on April 17 starting at 7:30 pm IST. This is the first game between the two sides. Both teams will play twice this season.
GT has had a very complicated campaign so far, with three wins and as many losses. They are in sixth place heading into this game. They have yet to win back-to-back games and have any kind of consistency.
Shubman Gill scored 72 with the bat and led the chase against Rajasthan Royals as GT became the first team to beat Rajasthan Royals at home.
The victory should give them confidence to move forward in the tournament. As a team, they are already missing Mohammed Shami due to injury.
To make matters worse, they will now miss David Miller due to a sore hamstring for at least two weeks. Miller has missed the Titans’ last three games.

Abhinav Manohar
Manohar, who came into the team for the last match, scored just one. With some injury concerns, he will get another chance and would like to make an impact.
Vijay Shankar
Shankar will come in at five. He has played for several IPL teams. He has been a consistent player in GT’s middle order. He scored 16 for 10 in the chase against Rajasthan but will retain his place in the XI.
Rahul Tewatia
Tewatia will enter at six. He scored 22 off 11 balls for the Titans in their win against TT. This was his first major performance this season. His X-factor as a finisher makes him a certainty in the XI.

Noor Ahmed
His teammate in Afghanistan, Noor Ahmad, will take eighth place. He took 16 wickets last season and has so far taken three wickets in four games.

Mohit Sharma
Mohit will be the second Indian pacer in the XI. He was expensive in the last game, scoring 51 runs in his four overs. He has taken 8 wickets in six games this season.
Spencer Johnson
Johnson concludes GT’s probable XI. He put in a 4/37 spell against RR. He has taken three wickets in four games.
Sub-Shahrukh Khan Impact
Shahrukh Khan was used as an Impact Sub in the previous match, a move that didn’t work. He should be used in the same role if the need arises.
