DC vs GT, IPL 2023: Records and Stats at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi

Defending Champions Gujarat Titans (GT) will fly to Delhi as they lock horns against the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the match no. 7 of IPL 2023 on April 4 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Gujarat Titans come to the contest after the nervy last-over win against four-time champions Chennai Super Kings in first game of the season. It was yet again the all-round performance that helped GT edge past CSK as every individual, including the impact player Sai Sudharsan, chipped in with runs and wickets when needed.

Shubman Gill was the stand-out performer with the bat, scoring 36-ball 63 runs while Rashid Khan put up an all-round show by picking two important wickets and finishing things with the bat. Mohammad Shami picked his 100th IPL wicket in the previous game. Gujarat Titans have won nine out of ten times while chasing in the history of the IPL.

Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, are coming home after a loss against the Lucknow Super Giants. They succumbed to Mark Wood’s fiery pace in their first game and were left clueless. David Warner was the only positive as far as batting is concerned, but he too played the knock with the below-par strike rate.  

Khaleel Ahmed was the stand-out bowler as he picked up 2/30 in his four-over spell and also achieved the feat of becoming the fastest Indian bowler to take 50 IPL wickets. Delhi would seek an improved performance in both the departments to bounce back. 

DC vs GT Head to Head record:

Both the teams have played only once against each other. Gujarat Titans defeated Delhi Capitals by margin of 14 runs last year.
