DC vs GT, Delhi Weather Forecast For Today
A struggling Axar Patel-led Delhi Capitals (DC) will look to regroup and address bowling concerns when they face table-toppers Gujarat Titans (GT) in a reverse-leg Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday to keep their playoff hopes alive.
If three losses and a no-result due to rain in their last five games weren't sufficient, DC's last fixture was abandoned midway following air raid alerts in neighbouring Jammu and Pathankot, prompting a week-long suspension of the cash-rich league.
Although the tournament has restarted, several foreign players have not returned to complete their commitments, pushing franchises to make significant adjustments to their squads.
DC, currently just outside the top four with 13 points from 11 matches, suffered a major setback with exclusive pacer Mitchell Starc deciding not to return for the remainder of the season.
On the other hand, Gujarat, comfortably perched at the top of the table with 16 points from 11 games, have been a well-oiled unit this season.
Team's star players Jos Buttler and South African pacer Kagiso Rabada have rejoined the squad, although the Englishman will not be available for GT's final league match against Chennai Super Kings due to national duty.
