Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill is set to return in the playing XI against the Delhi Capitals. The two teams are set to collide at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Wednesday, with GT chasing their first win of the season.

Shubman Gill's absence from the Gujarat Titans' most recent IPL 2026 match against the Rajasthan Royals on April 4 due to a muscular spasm was a severe blow. Rashid Khan served as the team's captain while Gill was away.

Prior to the GT vs. DC match on Wednesday, Sai Sudharsan stated during the pre-match press conference that Shubman is "completely fine."

"Shubman has no problem; he is completely fine. He will be fine," Sudharsan said on Tuesday.

Moreover, Shubman Gill was also spotted batting in the practise nets ahead of Wednesday's clash.

GT are yet to win a game this season in the IPL. The 2022 IPL champions have lost both of their matches this season. GT lost against the Punjab Kings in the season opener before losing against the Rajasthan Royals in their last match.

Speaking about the losses, Sudharsan stated that the team has learned a lot from their first two losses and is focused on using the lessons to secure their first win at IPL 2026 and regain momentum.

"We look back on these two games, and we have learnt a lot for sure, and I think we will look forward to doing that, so that we get our first win and get the momentum back," he said.

The Gujarat Titans have not started the season well


Gujarat Titans are currently languishing at ninth spot in the IPL 2026 points table with no points in two matches and a Net Run Rate (NRR) of -0.424. They are amongst the only two teams this season without a single point to their name. 

The other team is the Chennai Super Kings, who have no points to show after three losses in three matches.

GT will face the Delhi Capitals next at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
