Delhi Capitals won toss and elected to bowl first
Gujarat Titans replaced Kumar Kushagra with fit-again Shubman Gill
DC playing unchanged XI at home
Delhi Capitals, playing an unchanged XI, did not include the in-form Sameer Rizvi in it against Gujarat Titans in match 14 of Indian Premier League 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday (April 8). The Titans, meanwhile, went without Prasidh Krishna, who bagged the Purple Cap in the 2025 edition.
That is because both these players were listed among the Impact Substitutes for their respective sides. The Titans are batting first, and expected to bring in Krishna when they bowl in the second innings. Similarly, the Capitals are likely to sub in Rizvi when they get their chase going in Delhi.
