GT vs DC Dream 11 Top Picks
Mohammed Shami
The seasoned campaigner ripped apart LSG’s top-order with his sensational opening spell in GT’s previous clash. This IPL has seen a trend of fast bowlers who can swing the ball getting early wickets in the powerplay. If Shami is in full flow, it is an uphill task for even the best batters to face him in the middle.
Rishabh Pant
After a dismal start to the season as a batter, Risabh Pant will be geared up to unleash his magic in the matches to come. He has been in sublime touch in international cricket and besides being the captain, he is also the X-factor of the Capitals. A flamboyant southpaw who can turn the tables over in a flash, Pant’s destructive hitting prowess will be DC’s crux, especially in the death overs.
Kuldeep Yadav
Just when people felt that doors for Kuldeep Yadav‘s comeback in the big picture is soo to be close, the chinaman spinner delivered a strong statement in his maiden clash in DC colors. Once a match-winning wicket-taker in both IPL and international cricket, Yadav’s form dipped in the past few years. He might have been a part of the dressing room, but seldom got the chance to prove his caliber once again on the field.
In 2022 after DC signed him as one of their frontline spinners, pundits predicted it to be a boon for the wrist spinner. Against a top-class side like MI, Kuldeep Yadav was the only DC bowler to shine, as, at an economy below 5, he bagged 3 wickets including big fishes like Rohit Sharma and Pollard. His goal will be to continue his golden run and prove to his critics that he is not done yet.

Match Prediction: Who Will Win?
For the first-ever time, these two teams will lock horns against each other. DC might be an experienced side yet are not the same strong outfit in the absence of Warner and Marsh. Gujarat Titans are off to a flyer and will hope that road ahead of them leads to the top. Hardik Pandya and his troops are likely to play the fearless brand of cricket just like DC and therefore, fans can feel the heat that the game is on! However, on paper, the Titans likely might have an edge over DC in Pune.
