Shubman Gill vs Khaleel Ahmed
Shubman Gill will be a big wicket in the game. He has been in great form this season and has scored the most runs for his team so far.

The left-arm pacer has dismissed him twice in 25 balls and conceded 38 runs. Khaleel is bowling well and has taken the most wickets for DC in the ongoing IPL 2024.

Rishabh Pant vs Rashid Khan
One big battle will be between DC skipper Rishabh Pant and GT’s best bowler, Rashid Khan. This battle will certainly impact the game during the middle overs. Pant has been in good form and has scored 194 runs at a strike rate of 157.72, but he has found it tough to play against Rashid. Pant has scored 87 runs off 76 balls against him at a strike rate of 114.15 and got out twice with 28 dot balls.

David Miller vs Kuldeep Yadav
David Miller is available now. And it would be a boost to GT. On the other hand, Kuldeep has come back with a three-wicket haul in the last fixture. The wrist spinner has been effective against the left-handed batter. Kuldeep has sent back Miller 3 times in international cricket. Miller has scored 26 runs off 22 balls against Kuldeep with a strike rate of 118.2.

Prithvi Shaw vs Umesh Yadav
Prithvi Shaw has a strike rate of 128.6 against Umesh Yadav in the IPL. It will be a great battle to watch out for.

Azmatullah Omarzai has swung the new ball in the powerplay. It would be interesting to see how the young Omarzai bowls against Warner and Shaw.
Jake Fraser-McGurk had a brilliant start to his IPL career and scored a fifty on his debut. He helped his team chase down a tricky target against LSG and score 35-ball 55. The 22-year-old played some free-flowing shots and hit some big sixes. But can he do it against Mohit Sharma? It will be a big question. Mohit bowls different types of slower balls, which makes it hard to time your shot. Jake will surely be challenged and need to adjust when he faces Mohit in the GT vs DC.
