Delhi Capitals (DC) will be looking to move back to the top-four with a win in their next game against the current league leader Gujarat Titans (GT). The match no-59 will be played at the home ground of DC, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday evening. DC started the season with four consecutive wins but have lost four times in the subsequent seven matches. But DC are only three points behind top spot and a point off the top-four. So they are very much in contention for the playoffs.
For GT, it’s all about keeping the momentum going. On current form, they are the best team in the league, sitting at the top-spot with 16 points from 11 matches. Also, the 2022 champions have lost only once in the last five games leading up to this game.

DC vs GT Dream11 Top Fantasy Cricket Picks
- Sai Sudarshan: Just one run behind current Orange Cap leader Suryakumar Yadav despite playing one game less than the Mumbai Indians star — this shows how good and consistent Sai Sudharsan has been this season. Based on his form and stats, Sudharsan can be your go-to guy when it comes to captaincy in fantasy cricket teams.
- KL Rahul: With 381 runs across 10 innings, Delhi Capitals batter is the leading scorer for his team. His name is enough to strike fear in the heart of opponents bowlers. His consistency and the way he takes up the responsibility as a batter makes him a solid captain option.
- Shubman Gill: Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill is another high-profile player who can set this game on fire. He has been in remarkable form this IPL season having racked up 508 runs in 11 matches. That means, he is only two runs behind Suryakumar Yadav heading into this game.
- Axar Patel: Delhi Capitals captain is no slouch with the bat. He has played some crucial innings with the bat this season, like in the last match against Kolkata Knight Riders when he hammered 43 runs off just 23 balls. In addition, Patel can win matches with his bowling as well.
- Jos Buttler: Gujarat Titans’ success this season is down to the form of their superstars. One of the players who has been playing right at the top of his game is Jos Buttler who has scored a combined 500 runs in 11 innings.
