We are all set to begin! Delhi players are in the middle as they disperse to take their respective positions from the huddle. Shubman Gill and Matthew Wade are the openers for Gujarat. Mustafizur Rahman to start with the ball for Delhi. Here we go...

Hardik Pandya, the skipper of Gujarat, says that they were going to bat first and see how good they are defending and it is early in the tournament so they can always catch up. Tells that there is not much dew on this ground and so they wanted to bat first. Informs that they are playing the same team.

Rishabh Pant, the skipper of Delhi, says they will bowl first. He adds that they have different bowling lineup this year and they are happy to bowl first. Tells that they chased down well in the last game so they are comfortable with it. Informs that they have one change with Kamlesh Nagarkoti out and Mustafizur Rahman in.

Gujarat Titans (Unchanged Playing XI) - Shubman Gill, Matthew Wade (WK), Vijay Shankar, Hardik Pandya (C), David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Abhinav Manohar, Rashid Khan, Lockie Ferguson, Mohammad Shami, Varun Aaron.

Delhi Capitals (Playing XI) - Prithvi Shaw, Tim Seifert, Mandeep Singh, Rishabh Pant (C) (WK), Lalit Yadav, Rovman Powell, Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Khaleel Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman (In place of Kamlesh Nagarkoti).

TOSS - The coin goes up and lands in favour of Delhi. They have elected to BOWL first.

PITCH REPORT - Deep Dasgupta is down for the pitch report. He says that it is a fresh pitch and the side boundary is bigger on one side and smaller on the other. Mentions that the pitch looks almost same as the last one. Tells that it has good covering of grass and looks firm and it will have good bounce and carry. Adds that dew factor is not that great here and that is why it is the only venue where the team batting first have won. Signs off by saying that it will be interesting to see what the captain will do after winning the toss.

Delhi, on the other hand, are still without their strongest team but the fight and character shown in the first game will give them lot of confidence. Axar Patel and Lalit Yadav pulled off a heist with the bat taking them to a comfortable victory in the end when they looked down and out. The bowling department is quite an inexperienced one but Kuldeep Yadav and Khaleel Ahmed showed good skills and were the pick of the bowlers. Can they continue to prosper under the leadership of Pant and register another victory? Or will Gujarat make it two in two? We shall find out. Toss and team sheets in a while.

Gujarat started their Indian T20 League journey on a positive note as they crossed the line in a close game. The game proved to be a fruitful one for Hardik Pandya and his boys not only in terms of result but also because of the fact that the depth of their side was put to test and they came out with flying colours. Their bowling is one of the best in the tournament while their batting has it’s flaws but the presence of plenty of all-rounders makes them a balanced unit. Though, the biggest positive from the first game would be the fitness shown by Hardik Pandya as he bowled his full quota of overs and showed good form with the bat too.

We now move towards the second game of the day as Gujarat and Delhi get ready to go head-to-head against each other in this game number 10 of the 15th edition of the Indian T20 League. We welcome everyone to our coverage as we await some riveting action between these two exciting teams led by two charismatic personalities.
