On Wednesday, Delhi Capitals will host Gujarat Titans in match 40 of the ongoing Indian Premier League season at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
Led by Shubman Gill, the Titans have blown hot and cold in the competition, securing four wins in eight outings.
On the other hand, the Capitals have been abysmal in the tournament, reeling at eighth in the points table with three victories.
So, moving on to this face-off, both teams would be desperate for a win to stay alive in the tournament.
Meanwhile, there are several on-field contests which can decide the game's outcome. So, as both teams gear up for an exciting clash, let's analyse and find out top player battles to watch out for.
Rishabh Pant vs Rashid Khan
Afghan spin maestro Rashid Khan has been impressive in the IPL 2024, playing a pivotal role for the Titans with bat and ball. Delhi Capitals' captain Rishabh Pant could counter him as he has solid numbers against him.

David Miller vs Kuldeep Yadav
Veteran South African finisher David Miller has had a poor IPL season with the bat, managing only 83 runs at a horrendous average of 20.75. India's wily left arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav could emerge as his nemesis in this match, as he has got him twice inside 32 balls.
