The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024’s 40th match between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Gujarat Titans (GT) will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on April 24, 2024, at 7:30 PM.
Score: 157/4 in 17 overs
Toss: Gujarat Titans win toss and field first
A Bumpy Ride for the Capitals
The season has been a rollercoaster for the Delhi Capitals. From bowling out opponents for low scores to facing hefty run chases, the Capitals have seen it all. Their inconsistency has been a concern, but the team has shown resilience and the ability to bounce back.
Ishant Sharma’s Fitness Update for Delhi Capitals
In the previous game, the Delhi Capitals (DC) faced challenges due to Mitchell Marsh’s absence and Ishant Sharma’s absence. While Marsh’s unavailability is known, Ishant’s situation is more intriguing.
During Tuesday’s training session, Ishant Sharma was seen actively participating. He sprinted, engaged in medicine ball exercises, and even had a discussion with physio Patrick Farhart. However, his back spasm remains a concern.
The DC management is closely monitoring Ishant’s condition, and a decision regarding his participation in the upcoming match will be made closer to the game.
The Rise of Jake Fraser-McGurk
One of the highlights for DC has been the emergence of Jake Fraser-McGurk. With two fifties in three games, including the fastest half-century for the Delhi team in the IPL, he’s a player to watch out for.
Gujarat Titans’ Mixed Fortunes
The Gujarat Titans have had their share of ups and downs as well. Despite a batting collapse against DC earlier in the season, they’ve secured crucial wins. Their spinners have been particularly effective, taking the most wickets among all teams.
