 "IPL 2025: GT vs DC playing 11, GT batters vs DC bowlers matchups")
In Match 35 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Shubman Gill won the toss and asked Delhi Capitals (DC) to bat first at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday. Gujarat began their campaign with a defeat but quickly bounced back with an impressive four-game winning streak. GT's momentum was recently interrupted by Lucknow Super Giants, who secured a six-wicket victory in Ahmedabad. Despite setting a competitive total of 180/6, GT couldn’t defend it, as Lucknow chased it down with three balls to spare. Led by Shubman Gill, the 2022 champions will be eager to return to winning form and potentially reclaim the top spot on the points table.
Here are the Impact substitutes for both the teams:
Delhi Capitals Impact Subs: Jake Fraser-McGurk, Darshan Nalkande, Sameer Rizvi, Donovan Ferreira, Dushmantha Chameera.
