IPL 2026 stats: DC vs GT pitch report, Arun Jaitley stadium highest score

In-form Delhi Capitals (DC) will aim to extend their winning run as they take on a struggling Gujarat Titans (GT) in match 14 of IPL 2026 at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi today. 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 

 

Axar Patel’s team has clicked well with the ball, but the batting still revolves heavily around Sameer Rizvi, who is enjoying a breakout season. His ability to accelerate after settling in has been crucial, while Pathum Nissanka’s return to form adds stability at the top.

 

Delhi’s bowling unit looks formidable, with Mukesh Kumar delivering consistently and Axar Patel leading smartly. Kuldeep Yadav’s wrist spin, along with the pace duo of T Natarajan and Lungi Ngidi, gives them an edge in both phases of the innings.

 

 

Gujarat Titans, on the other hand, have struggled with balance. Despite strong starts from Sai Sudharsan, their middle order has failed to capitalise. With Shubman Gill likely to return, the Titans will hope for improvement, especially from their inconsistent bowling attack led by Rabada and Siraj.

Arun Jaitley Stadium: Pitch report for DC vs GT, IPL 2026

The Arun Jaitley Stadium has largely been known for producing high-scoring contests in recent years, with its short boundaries offering little margin for error to bowlers. However, the first IPL 2026 game at the venue painted a slightly different picture, as the surface appeared sluggish and the ball held up, restricting Mumbai Indians to 162 for 6.

 

Delhi Capitals chased down the target comfortably in 18.1 overs with six wickets in hand, but that match was played in the afternoon. Conditions are expected to be different this time around, with an evening start likely to aid stroke-making. Under lights, the pitch is expected to play truer, allowing batters to trust the bounce and play their shots more freely.
