Capitals: GT vs DC IPL 2023: Faltering Delhi Capitals face big Gujarat Titans test | Cricket News – Times of India
The two teams have had contrasting fortunes, with Capitals being defined by a muddled, timid approach while the ever-improving Titans are playing boldly. The Capitals, it seems, will need a miracle to improve from last-season’s fifth-place finish.

Titans’ come-from-behind triumph over LSG was followed by commanding victories over MI and KKR. The Capitals started with five defeats but bounced back to notch up two victories before suffering a narrow nine-run loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Captain David Warner has been Capitals‘ top scorer but his runs have come at a not-so-encouraging strike rate of 118.6 . The inclusion of Englishman Phil Salt might have solved the opening conundrum but lack of contribution from their middle-order batters continues to hurt.
That their second-highest run-getter this season has been Axar Patel, with 211 runs at a strike rate of 142.56, shows how fragile their middle order has been. Luckily, Mitchell Marsh seems to have hit form.
Axar, left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav and Marsh with seven wickets each are their top wicket-takers but they are not even in the top 20 this season.
