GT vs DC Predicted Playing XI - IPL 2022 Match 10
Gujarat Titans vs Delhi Capitals
Gujarat Titans started their Indian Premier League campaign with a win over Lucknow. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals too picked up a convincing win over Mumbai in their opening game. Both teams will be looking to continue their winning run. The teams are coming off wins but they might be tempted to make a few changes in their teams. Here's a look at probable playing XIs for them.
Gujarat Titans
Top Order
Shubman Gill and Matthew Wade are likely to start for Gujarat. The team has Rahmanullah Gurbaz but they might be tempted to play with a left-right combination. Gujarat may want to replace Vikay Shankar with Wriddhiman Saha after the former's poor show in the last game.
Middle Order
Abhinav Manohar, Hardik Pandya and David Miller will play in the middle order. All players contributed to the team's win over Lucknow.
All-rounders
Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan will be the two all-rounders. Both are decent with the bat but will have a bigger role to play with the ball.
Bowlers
Varun Aaron, Lockie Ferguson and Mohammed Shami comprise a solid pace attack. All can bowl fast and rush the batters with their pace. Shami was on fire in the last game and can be deadly with the new ball.
GT Key Batters
- Shubman Gill - Shubman Gill will have to give Gujarat a solid start upfront. He is very capable to do that as we have seen on numerous occasions when he played for Kolkata.
- David Miller - Miller is a finisher and he showed why he rated so highly in this format when he won Gujarat the match against Lucknow. Miller would like to be consistent in the tournament.
- Rahul Tewatia - Just like Miller, teams should not take Tewatia for granted. He was the difference between Gujarat and Lucknow in the last game and turned the game on his head with a 40 run knock.
GT Key Batsman Stats
| Batter | Matches | Runs | Average | SR | 50/100 |

| David Miller | 90 | 2004 | 32.85 | 136.61 | 10/1 |
| Rahul Tewatia | 179 | 3271 | 29.74 | 149.5 | 16 |
GT Key bowlers
- Rashid Khan - Not much need to be said about Rashid Khan as he has been a veteran in this format. Irrespective of the conditions, he is hard to play.
- Mohammed Shami - Mohammed Shami set the perfect tone for Gujarat in the last game after a fiery opening spell. He was ruthless with the new ball and will be keen to do well in the next game as well.
- Lockie Ferguson - Ferguson is another pacer that Delhi batters need to worry about. His tall height with extra pace will trouble the best batters.

GT XI -Shubman Gill, Matthew Wade (wk), Wriddhiman Saha, Abhinav Manohar, Hardik Pandya (c), David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Lockie Ferguson, Varun Aaron, Mohammed Shami
Delhi Capitals
Top-order
Prithvi Shaw, Tim Seifert will form a destructive opening pair. Following them will be Mandeep Singh, a very experienced batter.
Middle-order
Rishabh Pant and Rovman Powell will take charge of the middle order. The duo will be responsible for keeping up with the run rate in the middle overs. If they stay till the final overs, the carnage is guaranteed.
All-rounders
Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel and Shardul Thakur are the three all-round options. Lalit Yadav and Axar Patel pulled off a heist for Delhi in the last game and will be high on confidence. Shardul would like to contribute more with the ball.
Bowlers
Khaleel Ahmed, Kamlesh Nagarkoti and Kuldeep Yadav will be the bowlers. Kuldeep Yadav won the player of the match in the last game for his three-wicket haul. He will be keen to back his performance with another good one. Nagarkoti and Khaleel will also have to bring out their A-game.
DC Key Batters
- Prithvi Shaw - Shaw is someone who will play aggressively no matter what. At time it backfires on him, but it pays off on most occasions. He will be a threat for Gujarat.
- Rishabh Pant - The southpaw is one of the most destructive batters in the modern game and can take the game away in no time. Pant was dismissed for 1 in the last game and will be eyeing a big score in next game.
- Rovman Powell - The big West Indian can decimate any bowling attack on his day and is a key player in the batting order for Delhi.
DC Key Batsman Stats
| Batter | Matches | Runs | Average | SR | 50/100 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prithvi Shaw | 54 | 1343 | 24.87 | 146.62 | 10/0 |
| Rishabh Pant | 85 | 2499 | 34.71 | 147.45 | 15/1 |
| Rovman Powelll | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
DC Key Bowlers
- Kuldeep Yadav - Yadav was terrific with the ball and picked three wickets without giving much away against Mumbai. He will be a big threat to Gujarat.
- Axar Patel - Another spinner that can cause problems for Gujarat. Axar is very accurate thus is not easy to score off.
- Shardul Thakur - Thakur had an off day with the ball against Mumbai but he is a wicket-taker and is expected to bounce back in style.
