In a high-voltage encounter at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Delhi Capitals made a bold move by excluding Jake Fraser-McGurk from their starting XI for Match 35 of IPL 2025 against Gujarat Titans. The decision comes after the explosive Australian batter struggled to make an impact in the tournament so far.

Delhi Capitals, riding high after a thrilling Super Over win against Rajasthan Royals, currently sit at the top of the table with five wins from six games. Their solid run has been a mix of strong leadership, clinical bowling, and key contributions from both experienced and young players. Meanwhile, the Gujarat Titans are looking to bounce back after their four-match winning streak was halted by a defeat to the Lucknow Super Giants.

Changes in the Lineup

With Fraser-McGurk sidelined, Delhi has reshuffled their combination, bringing in a more balanced mix of local talent and seasoned names. In contrast, Gujarat have brought back experienced pacer Ishant Sharma, strengthening their bowling unit. The decision to bench Fraser-McGurk underlines Delhi’s push for consistency as they look to maintain momentum in the business end of the season.
