IPL 2026 Today's Match: DC vs GT playing 11, batters vs bowlers matchups
Delhi Capitals will be hoping to get back at the top of the points table with a win over five-time champions Gujarat Titans in Guwahati
Delhi Capitals (DC) are taking on Gujarat Titans (GT) in match 14 of IPL 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi today, with hopes of extending their winning streak in the tournament. On the other hand, GT will look to get back to winning ways after losing back-to-back matches. DC skipper Axar Patel won the toss for the match and opted to bowl first.
IPL 2026 DC vs GT playing 11: DC playing 11: KL Rahul (WK), Pathum Nissanka, Nitish Rana, David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel (C), Vipraj Nigam, Kuldeep Yadav, Lungi Ngidi, T Natarajan, Mukesh Kumar Impact players: Rizvi, Ashutosh, Nabi, Chameera, Nair GT playing 11: Shubman Gill (C), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (WK), Washington Sundar, Glenn Phillips, M Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Ashok Sharma Impact players: Prasidh, Holder, Suthar, Jayant, Rawat
Delhi Capitals enter the contest brimming with confidence after back-to-back wins over Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians. Their combination looks well-settled, with Pathum Nissanka providing stability at the top, while Sameer Rizvi and Tristan Stubbs have powered the middle order with impressive form. With the ball, Lungi Ngidi and Mukesh Kumar have struck regularly, and the spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel has kept opposition batters in check. DC are unlikely to tinker with a winning playing 11.
Gujarat Titans, meanwhile, are still searching for their first win but haven’t looked out of place. They pushed both Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals close, only to fall short at the finish. The possible return of skipper Shubman Gill could be a major boost as GT aim to turn their fortunes around in Delhi.
But before the two sides finally take the ground, let’s take a look at the captaincy record of both skippers, their expected playing 11 combinations, and key player match-ups for the game.
