DC vs GT Toss & Playing XI, IPL 2026: Delhi Wins Toss and Opts to Bowl First in Match 14

Cricket Gully 1 month ago

Riding high on victories, the Delhi Capitals is all set to host the winless Gujarat Titans at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. So far, both teams have played two matches with Axar Patel and his team have won both matches, while the IPL 2022 champions suffered back-to-back defeats at the start of the tournament.

In this game, Delhi Capitals will aim to make it three wins in a row, while the visitors will eye their first points.

At the toss, Delhi Capitals won and chose to bowl first, as chasing under lights in Delhi is easier than defending a total.

Here's what the captains said at the toss:

Axar Patel:

"We will bowl first. We've chased well in the last two matches and this is a fresh wicket. It's been raining; there could be some moisture. Bowl first, have a look at the wicket, restrict them and chase down the score. We look at the match-ups, making it as difficult as possible for the batters and choose the best possible bowlers. Same XI for us."

Gujarat Titans:

"It's much better (on his neck issue), it's something similar (to what happened in the Test agianst South Africa). We were going to bat first anyway, if the weather stays this way, there'll be no dew in the second innings. It's all about assessing the conditions, we have good opening partnerships (with Sai Sudharsan) and hopefully, we'll put runs on the board. It's all about clicking in one game, we lost the last game by a small margin. Hopefully, we'll sort out our batting. KK (Kumar Kushagra) sits out for me, rest is unchanged."
