The Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi will be the setting for a crucial IPL 2025 showdown as the Delhi Capitals (DC) prepare to square off against the high-flying Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 60 of the season.
Gujarat enter this contest as table-toppers, having notched up eight wins from 11 outings. Despite a shaky start with a loss to Punjab Kings, Shubman Gill’s side quickly found their rhythm, stringing together four straight victories to firmly reestablish themselves as title contenders. With their playoff spot nearly locked in, a win in Delhi would officially punch their ticket to the final four.
The path has been more turbulent for the Capitals. After a flying start that saw them notch four wins in a row, Axar Patel’s side lost their footing midseason. They now find themselves in a must-win situation, having secured just six victories from 11 games. Every match from here on out is a do-or-die as they chase a spot in the knockout stages.

DC vs GT Team News, Probable Playing XI and Key Players
Delhi Capitals Team News
DC have been handed a timely boost, with overseas veterans Faf du Plessis and Tristan Stubbs expected to rejoin the squad ahead of the next fixture. Their presence could be pivotal for a team that’s clinging to playoff hopes.
At the crease, KL Rahul has been the rock for Delhi, compiling 381 runs in nine innings with a healthy strike rate of 142.16. Young Abishek Porel has also made his mark at the top, with 265 runs in 11 appearances, striking at a brisk 150. Axar Patel has been instrumental in steadying the ship during mid-innings stumbles, and he’s expected to partner Stubbs in anchoring the back half of the innings. Meanwhile, Ashutosh Sharma has provided late-over fireworks, adding vital runs under pressure.
However, the absence of Mitchell Starc due to injury has left a void in DC’s pace attack. The onus now falls on Dushmantha Chameera and Mukesh Kumar, though both have had inconsistent spells. Kuldeep Yadav has been reliable through the middle overs, bagging 12 wickets while keeping the economy rate to a tidy 6.74. Vipraj Nigam, with nine wickets to his name, has struggled with control, going for 9.48 an over. Axar’s precision with the ball might again be crucial, especially on Delhi’s slower surfaces.

Impact Player: Ashutosh Sharma
Gujarat Titans Team News
GT, meanwhile, are operating like a well-oiled machine. Their batting lineup has clicked across all phases of the innings. Openers Sai Sudharsan, skipper Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler have each crossed the 500-run mark this season, forming a top order that’s been relentless. Rutherford has quietly been efficient in the middle, notching up 229 runs at a strike rate nearing 160. The ever-dependable Rahul Tewatia continues to shine in pressure situations, often finishing innings with quickfire cameos.
Gujarat’s bowling unit has been just as formidable. Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna have combined for 35 wickets, while spinner Sai Kishore has been effective, picking up 14 scalps and maintaining composure with an economy of 8.37. The Titans have been further strengthened by the return of Kagiso Rabada, whose raw pace and experience add teeth to their already potent attack. Rashid Khan, after a quiet start, appears to be hitting his stride again, a worrying sign for any opposition.
