On a scorching day in Ahmedabad, GT captain Shubman Gill won the toss and chose to bowl first against DC, citing the weather as a factor. He also mentioned that Kagiso Rabada, who had left for personal reasons, is expected to rejoin the team within the next ten days.
DC omitted Jake Fraser-McGurk from the team, despite his consistent presence in the first six matches. However, his performance was lackluster with only 55 runs scored at a strike rate of 105.76 and a high score of 38. Furthermore, Faf du Plessis continues to be absent from the squad due to an undisclosed injury.
Additionally, DC’s captain, Axar Patel, clarified that Abishek Porel will not serve as an Impact Player and will instead be positioned as an opener. He also expressed his desire to field, yet admitted feeling uncertain due to the intense heat.
