Summary
  • Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected to bowl first

  • Gujarat Titans posted 210-run total

  • Shubman Gill returned to GT side with crucial fifty

Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Shubman Gill made a happy return to the side with a pivotal half-century against Delhi Capitals (DC) in match 14 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday (April 8).

Gill had missed GT's last match, versus Rajasthan Royals, with a muscle spasm in his neck. Rashid Khan spearheaded the team in his absence and Gujarat suffered a six-run defeat in Ahmedabad, their second loss on the trot.

But the India Test and ODI captain led from the front on Wednesday, smashing a 45-ball 70 to propel GT to a challenging total in Delhi. Gill hit five sixes and four fours, and was looking good for many more before Lungi Ngidi had him caught at short mid off. Nevertheless, the Titans finished with a 210-run total.

Earlier, Capitals' skipper Axar Patel won the toss and elected to bowl first, stating that his team had chased well and wanted to continue in the same vein. DC went in with the same playing XI as their previous game against Mumbai Indians, which the Delhi-based franchise had won by six wickets.

On the other hand, Gill replaced Kumar Kushagra in GT's only change.
