Gujarat Titans batsman Sai Sudarshan on Tuesday confirmed that team captain and his opening partner Shibman Gul will play the IPL 2026 match against Delhi Capitals on Wednesday.“Shubman is coming along well. He will play tomorrow,” Sai Sudharsan confirmed Shibman Gul’s participation in tomorrow’s (Wednesday) match against Delhi Capitals, after the GT skipper missed the last game with a muscle strain.Gill did not feature in the previous match and had bandages on his shoulder and neck. The GT captain is battling neck pain from the 2025-26 home Test season. Gul has recovered and is fit to return, Sudharsan said. He will probably replace Kumar Kshagra at the top. GT may also consider adding Jason Holder to the middle order.Delhi Capitals will look for runs from their top order led by KL Rahul as they aim to continue their run of results against Gujarat Titans.Delhi Capitals have done well with the ball in their first two matches, with 22-year-old Sameer Rizvi scoring most of their runs so far.In comparison, Gujarat Titans have faced problems in both batting and bowling. The team has relied on its top order, and the middle order has not used the opening. Despite a good start from GT Sudharsan, Rajasthan could not chase down 205 against Royals.The middle order of Glenn Phillips, Washington Sundar and Rahul Tiotia will need to do more.In bowling, Muhammad Siraj and Kagiso Rabada have given runs, while Prasidh Krishna has not been consistent.On the other hand, Rashid Khan has started well and 23-year-old fast bowler Ashok Sharma has also made an impact.The Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch usually supports batting, but Mumbai Indians scored 162 runs in the afternoon match last Saturday. It remains to be seen how the pitch behaves in the evening match.
