The 40th match of the IPL 2024 season will be played between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on 24th April 2024. However, Gujarat Titans have won the toss and have opted to bowl first.

Both teams have faced similar challenges this season, struggling to maintain a consistent winning streak. Another defeat for DC on their home turf could seriously threaten their chances of reaching the playoffs. However, DC can draw inspiration from their recent dominant performance against the Titans, where they restricted them to a low score of 89 runs. 

Despite the issues in the middle order, the Titans approach the upcoming game with optimism following a crucial victory against Punjab Kings in their last match. A win in this upcoming game could propel the Titans into contention for a top-four finish, a feat they achieved in the past two seasons. Shubman Gill is playing his 100th IPL game and he gets a plaque from his Gujarat franchise.

IPL 2024: DC vs GT, Match 40: Who said what at the toss?

Shubman Gill – We will bowl first. Looks like a good wicket, we’ve been chasing well in the last couple of games. Means a lot to me (on playing 100 IPL matches), have come a long way, still a long way to go, but the focus is on today’s match. It’s cricket, there’ll always be ups and downs, you want to play the way you’re good at. We’re playing the same side. 

Rishabh Pant – It’s a good toss to lose, we would have batted first anyway. We just spoke at keeping things simple, just doing what we can do for a longer period of time. This wicket looks a bit slower than the last game, dew plays a big factor here, there was no dew last time, hopefully it’ll not be there tonight as well. Two changes – David Warner sits out and Hope replaces him, Sumit Kumar replaces Lalit Yadav.
