Delhi Capitals (DC) will take on Gujarat Titans (GT) in match 14 of IPL 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi today, with hopes of extending their winning streak in the tournament. On the other hand, GT will look to get back to winning ways after losing back-to-back matches.

Delhi Capitals enter the contest brimming with confidence after back-to-back wins over Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians. Their combination looks well-settled, with Pathum Nissanka providing stability at the top, while Sameer Rizvi and Tristan Stubbs have powered the middle order with impressive form. With the ball, Lungi Ngidi and Mukesh Kumar have struck regularly, and the spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel has kept opposition batters in check. DC are unlikely to tinker with a winning playing 11.

Gujarat Titans, meanwhile, are still searching for their first win but haven’t looked out of place. They pushed both Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals close, only to fall short at the finish. The possible return of skipper Shubman Gill could be a major boost as GT aim to turn their fortunes around in Delhi.

But before the two sides finally take the ground, let’s take a look at the captaincy record of both skippers, their expected playing 11 combinations, and key player match-ups for the game.

IPL 2026: DC playing 11 vs GT

Delhi Capitals head into the clash with strong momentum, driven by an in-form Sameer Rizvi, who has taken charge of the batting with consistent, impactful knocks. However, the spotlight remains on KL Rahul and the top order, which is yet to fully click despite promising starts.

Nitish Rana faces pressure at No. 3, while Pathum Nissanka’s return to form adds stability. With the ball, Axar Patel continues to lead effectively, supported by Mukesh Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, T Natarajan, and Lungi Ngidi. Their balanced attack has been key, making DC a dangerous side if their batting unit fires collectively.

IPL 2026: GT playing 11 vs DC

Gujarat Titans are under pressure after back-to-back defeats, with concerns across both batting and bowling departments. The top order, led by Shubman Gill, has shown promise, but the middle order—featuring Glenn Phillips, Washington Sundar, and Rahul Tewatia—has failed to deliver under pressure.

Gill is expected to return after a minor injury, boosting confidence. Bowling remains inconsistent, with Mohammed Siraj, Kagiso Rabada, and Prasidh Krishna leaking runs. Rashid Khan has been the standout performer, while young pacer Ashok Sharma has impressed. Titans need a collective effort to overcome their early-season struggles and regain momentum.
