DC vs GT Important Player Stats

DC vs GT Toss Factor

The wicket at the Arun Jaitley Stadium has seen one game in IPL 2024. It looks like a flat deck working in favour of the batters. However, with the progression of the game it might slow down and help the spinners. 

Scenario: If Delhi Capitals win the toss

• The Capitals might choose to field first after winning the toss and put GT under the pressure of a big score. In this case, batters like Jake Fraser-McGurk, David Warner, and Rishabh Pant would be excellent choices as the C or VC. 
• In the bowling department, Axar Patel, Khaleel Ahmed and Kuldeep Yadav could be your prime choices. 

Scenario: If Gujarat Titans win the toss

• The Titans will depend on players like Shubman Gill and B Sai Sudharsan in their batting department. In GT-heavy fantasy XI, they will be the crucial C or VC choices. Besides these two batters, Wriddhiman Saha or David Miller could be differential choices as the C or VC. 
• Rashid Khan has not yet delivered with the ball in the tournament. But the Arun Jaitley wicket might suit Rashid’s style of bowling and he could be a game-changing C or VC for the match. 

DC vs GT Top Captain and Vice-captain Picks

Scenario: If Delhi Capitals win the match

Jake Fraser-McGurk (DC)

The Australian youngster has impressed the fans and the critics with his aggressive batting approach. Jake Fraser-McGurk has shown that he can take the game away from the opposition within a matter of deliveries. He could be highly rewarding as the C or VC in this game.

Khaleel Ahmed (DC)

The Indian left-arm pacer has been the highest wicket-taker for his team in this tournament. But in the last few games, Khaleel Ahmed has not found his best rhythm. So, it could be that he regains his form in this game and gives you high benefits.

Shubman Gill (GT)

The GT skipper has looked in a good rhythm with the bat in the tournament. In most games, Shubman Gill has carried GT’s batting and could thus be a great choice as the C or VC for the match if you are backing GT to win the game.

Rashid Khan (GT)

The Afghan superstar has been far from his best in this tournament. However, Rashid might find the Delhi pitch suitable for his bowling and could leave a significant impact on the game. 

DC vs GT High Risk, High Reward

Kuldeep Yadav (DC)

The Indian left-arm wrist spinner found a good rhythm in the last game. Kuldeep Yadav will be looking to maintain his form in this game, and this could be a good choice for the match’s C or VC. 

David Miller (GT)

The South African middle-order batter has struggled with his form in IPL 2024. However, Miller can change the game’s complexion with his aggressive batting style, and thus, he could be a good choice as the C or VC. 

DC vs GT Stay Aways

Anrich Nortje (DC)

The South African pacer has not been in the best of rhythms with the ball in IPL 2024. In his current form Anrich Nortje is conceding runs and is not being able to pick up wickets. Thus he can be ignore as the C or VC for this game.

Rahul Tewatia (GT)

The Indian all-rounder played a great knock for GT and led the team across the victory line. However, Tewatia comes too lower down the order to impact the game as a C or VC in the fantasy contests.
