The Delhi Capitals (DC) and the Gujarat Titans (GT) will play against each other on April 8 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. DC are currently unbeaten in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, but GT are yet to open their account. They have lost two consecutive matches and will be looking forward to winning the upcoming one.
Meanwhile, Sai Sudharsan has given vital information on captain Shubman Gill's return to the team today. Gill wasn't a part of the playing XI in the previous match since he was injured. He sustained a neck spasm and was out of the team. In his place, Rashid Khan was the stand-in captain.
Sai Sudharsan provides update on Shubman Gill’s availability
GT's opening batter, Sai Sudharsan, provides major information on Shubman Gill's availability ahead of their clash against DC on April 8. During the press conference, he mentioned that the captain is all set for his return in the next match. In the previous game, Kumar Kushagra was playing in place of Gill.
"Shubman is coming along well. He'll be playing tomorrow," Sudharsan said in the pre-match press conference.
Gujarat Titans set to receive major boost with skipper’s return
GT's IPL 2026 campaign has not been going well, and missing out on the captain was a huge setback. Now that Gill will be back in the team, the opening pair will have experience and form in the top order. Putting up runs in the power play is quite important, and depending on a newcomer like Kushagra, it could have cost GT in the long run.
Moreover, Gill is an experienced captain as well. He has been handling the team's affairs for two years now and knows everything. Hence, having him around is a huge boost for the franchise. It will be intriguing to see how he performs in the upcoming matches as well.
Fans react as Gill nears comeback in IPL 2026
