GT vs DC Toss, Playing 11 Update for IPL 2025: Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill opted to bowl first after winning the toss against Delhi Capitals at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on April 19, 2025 (Saturday).

Shubman Gill after winning the toss said: We will bowl first. It is very hot. The wicket looks very good. If you won't keep much grass, it would crack up. Things have been going well. We don't think much about the past. It is about turning up on the day. It takes a couple of weeks for the team to gel in. We are going with the same team. Hopefully, Rabada will come back in 10 days or so.

Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel said: I also wanted to field. I was confused as it was that hot. I was a little skeptical due to the weather. The bowlers might get tired under the sun. We will look to score well and look to defend. We wanted a good start. We wanted to focus on the process. We are focussing on our process and execution. We keep talking about improvements. The dressing room atmosphere has been good. It is important to be clear in your ideas. We have given them clear roles. You might get success sometimes and sometimes you won't get it. Jack is not playing well.

GT vs DC Pitch Report

The Narendra Modi Stadium has witnessed some high-scoring contests this season, with teams crossing the 200-run mark in half of the six innings played so far. Gujarat Titans themselves posted an impressive 196 against Mumbai Indians, underlining the pitch's consistency and batting-friendly nature. Interestingly, all three matches at this venue have been won by sides setting a target. However, with this being the first afternoon fixture, conditions could play out differently, potentially making a run chase more manageable.
