Top 5 players to watch out for in the GT vs DC IPL 2025 match

The contenders perched at the top of the points table are set to stage the next battle in the ongoing IPL season. In a season that has witnessed the biggies suffering so far, Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals have put up a sublime performance. Delhi Capitals, now led by Axar Patel, maintained a winning streak of four matches until they arrived at home to face Mumbai Indians. However, out of the six matches played so far, DC has lost just one, maintaining their stay at the top of the table. Gujarat Titans, meanwhile, have lost two, but an impressive NRR puts them ahead of the lot in IPL 2025 thus far. Now, the GT vs DC IPL 2025 match brings the teams to Ahmedabad where the GT captain, Shubman Gill, would hope to capitalise on the home advantage.

Key players to watch out for in the GT vs DC IPL 2025 match

A win at home would put the IPL 2022 champions at the top of the IPL 2025 points table. However, with the Delhi Capitals being the team to beat this season, GT could be stretched to their limits. The home team have found a reliable prospect in Sai Sudharsan, with the young batter putting up a serious case of consistency. DC, meanwhile, is soaring high on the form of their pace spearhead, Mitchell Starc. A fantastic spell at the death by the Australian speedster staged the first Super Over of the season in the DC vs RR match. With a win in the Super Over eventually, the Capitals picked their first win in Delhi as they charged ahead in the season.

Sai Sudharsan

Surely among the top contenders for the Orange Cap this season, Sai Sudharsan has been the top performer for Gujarat Titans so far in IPL. In 6 matches, the opening prospect has hit four half-centuries, slipping up on another fifty by just one run in the RCB vs GT match. Sudharsan's consistency this season has surprised one and all, as he has emerged as the highest run-scorer for his team. Across 6 innings, Sudharsan has scored 329 runs at an average of 54.83 and a healthy strike rate of 151.61. Now, as the team heads home for the GT vs DC match, Sudharsan is poised as one of the top performers with three of his four half-centuries coming at home, in Ahmedabad.

Shubman Gill

Though not as consistently as his opening partner, the Gujarat Titans skipper has displayed some impressive knocks this season. Shockingly, the prince touted to be the ruler of the Ahmedabad fort is yet to put up his trademark onslaught at the home turf. In the four matches that GT has played in Ahmedabad, Shubman Gill has recorded knocks of 33, 38, and a meagre 2. Eager to hit back in form, Gill would look to exploit the conditions at home to come through. Clearly intent on adopting an aggressive approach this season, Gill could be the deciding factor in the upcoming contest as Punjab Kings head to Gujarat. So far, Gill has scored 208 runs at an average of 41.60.

Prasidh Krishna

One might find the pacer's name flowing under the radar, but Prasidh Krishna has been one of the most vital cogs in the GT lineup this season. Partnering with Mohammed Siraj as the primary pacer for the team, Prasidh has picked the most wickets for Gujarat Titans so far. What's more benefiting about Krishna's spell is his ability to keep the run flow in check. The pacer has scalped 10 wickets across 6 matches for GT at an economy of 6.95, including a three-wicket haul against Rajasthan Royals in their last match at home.

Mitchell Starc

Placed in a team that has identified multiple match-winners in IPL 2025 so far, Mitchell Starc has managed to carve the most crucial position for himself. The pace spearhead snatched the victory from RR's jaw in the DC vs RR match, defending 3 runs off the last 2 balls. Moreover, despite throwing a no-ball in the Super Over, Starc ensured that RR bundled out without a fight in the deciding over. In red-hot form, Starc is poised as one of the top players to watch out for in the GT vs DC IPL 2025 match. In 6 matches, Starc has scalped 10 wickets including a fifer, his maiden five-wicket haul in the shorter format of the game.

KL Rahul

The former LSG captain has presented a reinvented form in IPL 2025, smashing fiery knocks for his new team. Despite joining the party a bit late, Rahul has eclipsed the other batters in the DC lineup to emerge as the highest run-scorer so far. A gritty 79-run score against CSK in chase and a fiery onslaught at the Chinnaswamy against RCB, KL has already displayed some knocks to remember from the season. Across 5 matches that the batter has played, transitioning from the top order to the middle, Rahul has accumulated 238 runs at an average of 59.50 and a strike rate of 154.54.
