At the midpoint of IPL 2024, both Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals face challenging positions. GT currently ranks seventh with three victories out of six matches, while DC sits just above RCB, having secured two wins and suffered four defeats. However, both teams enter their upcoming clash at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium with momentum on their side, having emerged victorious in their previous fixtures. This offers a glimmer of hope for DC and GT amidst their current standings. Find out why David Warner is missing from today’s IPL 2024 clash against GT.
David Warner’s Absence in Today’s Match:
.The coin toss for the Gujarat Titans versus Delhi Capitals encounter has already taken place, with DC emerging victorious and opting to field first against GT. During the toss, DC captain Rishabh Pant disclosed that David Warner, a key player, would be absent from today’s match.
Warner recently underwent an X-ray due to a swollen finger sustained while batting in an IPL 2204 fixture against the Lucknow Super Giants. Fortunately, the results revealed no significant injury. However, Warner must successfully pass a fitness test to rejoin the Delhi Capitals playing XI. His recovery process is underway, but his return to the squad depends on meeting the required fitness criteria.
Rishabh Pant said, “ We’ll bowl first. It’s an unknown wicket, our batting is strong and we would want to chase, there could be some dew in the second innings as well. We’ll have to play good cricket, just taking one match at a time. Death bowling has been a little concern, but at the same time, the bowlers are getting better with every match. We’re looking at gaining some momentum. We’re playing almost the same team – David Warner is sitting out, Sumit Kumar is back.”
DC’s Playing XI Against GT:
Delhi Capitals’s playing 11 against Gujarat Titans has been announced during the toss. DC’s playing 11: Prithvi Shaw, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Tristan Stubbs, Shai Hope, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Axar Patel, Sumit Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Ishant Sharma, Mukesh Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed
