Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel has won the toss and elected to bowl first against the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League 2026. The toss took place at 07:00 pm IST, with the match set to start at 07:30 pm IST.
“We will bowl first. We chased well in the last two games. The wicket is fresh, so we would like to chase.
It has been raining for the last two days, so there could be moisture in the pitch, and we would like to use it to our advantage,” Axar Patel said.GT skipper Shubman Gill would have batted first had he won the toss.
“We would have batted first anyway. I hope there will be no dew in the second innings. Hopefully, we will have a good powerplay. It is about clicking in a game. We didn’t lose the last game by a big margin. One batter needs to bat deep,” he said.
Gujarat Titans: 1 Shubman Gill (capt), 2 B Sai Sudharsan, 3 Jos Buttler (wk), 4 Washington Sundar, 5 Glenn Phillips, 6 Shahrukh Khan, 7 Rahul Tewatia, 8 Rashid Khan, 9 Kagiso Rabada, 10 Mohammed Siraj, 11 Ashok Sharma.
Impact Subs: Prasidh, Holder, Suthar, Jayant and Rawat.
