IPL 2025 ka ek aur exciting match hone wala hai, jisme Delhi Capitals (DC) apne in-form Gujarat Titans (GT) se takraayenge 19 April ko Ahmedabad mein. DC ne Mumbai Indians (MI) ke against thoda struggle kiya tha, lekin Rajasthan Royals (RR) ke khilaf thrilling Super Over jeet kar unhone apni form ko dubara se dikhaya hai. Dusri taraf, Gujarat Titans ko apni pehli defeat Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) se mil chuki hai, jo unke liye ek shocking loss thi.
DC ke liye sabse bada concern hai unka underperforming star, Jake Fraser-McGurk. Ab tak ke 6 matches mein usne sirf ek baar double digits mein score kiya hai aur lagataar early out ho rahe hain. Agar Faf du Plessis puri tarah fit ho jaate hain, toh unka replace hona possible hai. South Africa ke batter Donovan Ferreira bhi DC ke liye ek solid overseas option hain. Unki strike rate 158.32 hai, jo ki kisi bhi T20 match ke liye kaafi dangerous hai. Wo bhi DC ki playing XI mein debut karne ka intezaar kar rahe hain.
DC ke team management ke paas ek aur option hai left-arm pacer T Natarajan, jo ab tak bench par hi baithe hain. Mukesh Kumar ne ab tak achha perform nahi kiya hai aur T Natarajan unke liye ek acchi replacement ho sakte hain, especially agar team ko fast bowling mein ek fresh look chahiye ho.
DC Predicted Playing XI: Jake Fraser-McGurk/Faf du Plessis, Abishek Porel, Karun Nair, KL Rahul (wk), Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel (c), Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohit Sharma, Mukesh Kumar/T Natarajan.
Dusri taraf, Gujarat Titans ki team mein Kagiso Rabada jo personal reasons ki wajah se abhi team se door hain, unka return abhi tak confirm nahi hua hai. GT ki playing XI mein koi bade changes ki umeed nahi hai, lekin Rashid Khan ki form ko lekar chinta hai. Kya unhe drop kiya jaayega? Ye dekhna interesting hoga. Glenn Phillips ke injury ke baad, unhe replace karne ke liye Dasun Shanaka ko squad mein shamil kiya gaya hai. Ab ye dekhna hai ki kya Shanaka ko immediately playing XI mein jagah milegi ya wo bhi bench par baith kar baaki overseas players, Gerald Coetzee aur Karim Janat ke saath wait karenge.
GT Predicted Playing XI: Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill(c), Jos Buttler(wk), Sherfane Rutherford, Washington Sundar, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Arshad Khan, Rashid Khan, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj.
Weather and Pitch Report: Ahmedabad mein yeh match high-scoring hone ki puri umeed hai. Dono teams ke paas aise power-hitters hain jo boundary maarne mein mahir hain. Lekin jo team achha bowling karegi, wahi jeet payegi. Din mein khelna thoda challenging ho sakta hai kyunki excessive heat ki wajah se players ko cramps bhi ho sakte hain. Lekin, pitch ki conditions Kuldeep Yadav aur Rashid Khan jese spinners ke liye favourable ho sakti hain.
