Shubman Gill is captaining the Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026.
Gujarat Titans (GT) are set to clash with Delhi Capitals (DC) in match 14 of the Indian Premier League 2026. The clash will take place at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Wednesday, April 8.
Shubman Gill & Co. have lost two games in a row in IPL 2026. In the previous game against the Rajasthan Royals (RR), they lost by just six runs. In the 211-run chase, their top order gave them a brilliant start.
However, their batting order faltered in the middle overs, and they eventually fell six runs short of victory. Captain Shubman Gill was absent from the previous game due to muscle spasm, and Rashid Khan was the stand-in captain.
Gill was seen in the dugout with bandages. In his absence, Kumar Kushagra was named as the opener alongside Sai Sudharsan. Now, fans are eager to know if Gill will be back in the clash against Delhi.

Gill has recovered from his muscle spasm and is ready to take the field at Arun Jaitley Stadium tonight. His opening partner, Sai Sudharsan, also confirmed that the GT captain is fit to play in the upcoming game.
His return will be a big boost for the Gujarat Titans, who will leave no stone unturned to register their first victory of IPL 2026 in the upcoming game. Gill scored a quickfire knock of 39 runs against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in a losing cause. Gill and Sudharsan form a lethal opening pair for GT.
Meanwhile, Delhi have won two games in a row in IPL 2026. They successfully chased down targets in both clashes against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians (MI). Although they lost a few wickets at the start quickly, Sameer Rizvi ensured to bring the team home in both games with his half-centuries.
