Gujarat Titans will take on Delhi Capitals in the reverse match of IPL 2024 in Delhi on April 24. They head into the game being in the bottom half of the points table and desperately needing points.
The Titans are in sixth place in the points table. As a team, they have yet to win two games in a row. They lost their previous match against Delhi Capitals where they were bowled out for just 89 runs. They would like to see that match as an aberration and exact revenge in the Delhi match.
In between, they won the match against Punjab Kings. The Kings were bowled out for 142 and the Titans chased the game in the 29th over of their innings. Their goal was to chase the below-average total against PBKS.
The team relies heavily on individuals to win games. With the bat, they depend on players like Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, while with the ball they depend on Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad and Mohit Sharma.

Shubman Gill (C)
Gill will open the batting for The Titans. Against Punjab Kings, he scored 35 off 29 balls. His wicket started a mini collapse for the Titans before Rahul Teatia steered them to victory.
Wriddhiman Saha (WK)
Saha is back in the lineup. He scored 13 off 11 balls. He hasn’t been consistent in giving his team quick starts throughout the season. In between he had a hamstring injury.
Sai Sudharsan
The left-hander will be placed in three. He scored 31 off 34 balls and tried to keep the innings together with the captain of him. He has scored 269 with an average of 33.62.
David Miller
Miller has the highest score of 44 this season for the Gujarat Titans. Against PBKS, he was out for just four runs off six balls. He was sidelined for almost two weeks with a hamstring injury.
Azmatullah Omarzai
Omarzai, the all-rounder, will occupy position five. He scored 13 off 10 balls. He initially played a few games, then was benched and returned to the eleven again in the last game. In the five matches he played, he took four wickets and scored 41 runs.
Rahul Tewatia
Tewatia will enter at six. He scored 36 off 18 balls to win the match for his team in the previous match against PBKS. As wickets fell around him, he kept a cool head and led his team to the other side of the line.
Rashid Khan
Rashid Khan will take over at seven. He has picked up 8 wickets in 8 games and scored 63 with the bat. He is three wickets short of reaching 150 IPL wickets. He already surpassed 50 wickets for GT earlier in the season.
Noor Ahmed
Nooe will be Rashid’s spin partner from the other end. He has taken five wickets in six games this season. He got 16 wickets last season. Against PBKS, he went 2/20.
Mohit Sharma
Moshit will be one of the two Indian pacers to complete the XI. He has taken 10 wickets in 8 games and is the highest wicket-taker for GT so far this season.
Umesh Yadav
Umesh Yadav should be brought into the playing XI in place of Sandeep Warrier. As Mohd Shami is now missing, Umesh and Mohit’s experience counts a lot for GT. He has taken seven wickets in six games so far this season.
Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore
Sai Kishore concludes GT’s probable XI. He hasn’t been given too many opportunities. He made the most of it in the last match taking 4/33 against PBKS.
Impact Submarine: Shahrukh Khan
GT is now using Shahrukh Khan as a substitute for Impact in the last few games, trying to strengthen their batting after covering all departments with the ball. He will continue to play that role. Shahrukh scored 8 for 4 in the last game.
