Middle-Order Batters and All-Rounders: Nitish Rana, David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Sameer Rizvi, Axar Patel, Vipraj Nigam
Delhi Capitals’ middle order and all-rounders will be once again their biggest strength. Sameer Rizvi is expected to lead the charge once again with explosive batting. Tristan Stubbs and David Miller add power in the middle and death overs.
Nitish Rana will take care of GT’s spin attack and keep the left-right mix going, while Axar Patel gives balance with both bat and ball. Vipraj Nigam provides the extra bowling option as well as explosive batting in the lower order. Their combined firepower and control make DC into a dangerous side.

IPL 2026, Match 14: GT Playing XI vs DC
Openers: Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler
Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler have the power to shake any bowling attack, so their performance could decide the match for Gujarat Titans against Delhi Capitals.
Buttler loves going big from the first over, clearing boundaries and lifting the run rate in no time while Gill brings the calm and keeps the innings steady. The GT openers balance aggression and control perfectly, and DC will aim to remove them as soon as possible.
Middle-Order Batters and All-Rounders: Sai Sudharsan, Glenn Phillips, Washington Sundar, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan

Rahul Tewatia is the go-to death-over hitter, and he can surprise any attack on his day. Rashid Khan will lead the spin attack, but he can also score some valuable runs, making him a key weapon for GT.

Mohammed Siraj swings the new ball and brings intensity in the powerplay. Prasidh Krishna will target key batters like Sameer Rizvi. Ashok Sharma is the fourth seamer. They can dominate the DC batting line-up and help GT to register their first win of this season.
