Here are the three key player battles to watch out for during the DC vs GT match:
1) David Miller vs Kuldeep Yadav
David Miller has not been in his best form for GT this season. However, DC are well aware of the threat that Miller possesses, so they will try to bring their best spinner Kuldeep Yadav. He is in great form and has dismissed the batter twice in last six innings. Therefore, it will be interesting to see the battle between these two during the DC vs GT match.
2) Jake Fraser-McGurk vs Rashid Khan
Jake Fraser-McGurk has been in superb form ever since he made his debut for DC. The young Aussie batter has scored 140 runs in just 3 innings and is known for his explosive batting. He will be looking to play another impactful innings in the upcoming game. GT knows that can be destructive, which is why they will use their best bowler, Rashid Khan against him.
3) Shubman Gill vs Ishant Sharma
Shubman Gill is the backbone of Gujarat’s batting department, but hasn’t got the much needed support from the other end. He is just 2 runs short of crossing 300 runs mark in the IPL 2024. Ishant Sharma is doing a brilliant job with the new ball for Delhi. Gill can score big if he settles down at the crease and therefore, Ishant will try to send him back inside the powerplay.
