The 35th match of IPL 2025 will see Gujarat Titans (GT) lock horns with Delhi Capitals (DC) on April 19 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Gujarat Titans have had a strong season so far, winning four out of six matches, with captain Shubman Gill showing fine form. However, despite his solid knock in their previous outing, GT fell short against the Lucknow Super Giants.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals are currently the team to beat. They sit comfortably at the top of the points table with five wins in six matches. In their last game, Abhishek Porel emerged as the hero, guiding DC to a thrilling super over victory against the Rajasthan Royals.
While both teams are performing well, Delhi hold a slight advantage in their head-to-head record, having beaten Gujarat Titans three times in five IPL clashes. With both sides in top form, this match promises to be a blockbuster at Ahmedabad.
Gujarat Titans (GT)
Kagiso Rabada remains unavailable due to a personal emergency, and his return is yet to be confirmed. Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans will bank on Rashid Khan to counter KL Rahul, having dismissed him three times in just 47 deliveries.

Delhi Capitals (DC)
Faf du Plessis is making steady progress in his recovery and has a slim chance of returning to the playing XI. On the other hand, Kuldeep Yadav is nursing a minor injury but is expected to be fit. Both Kuldeep and Axar Patel will play crucial roles against Jos Buttler, as they have each dismissed the English opener three times in T20s.
