DC wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul is their leading run-getter with 381 runs from 10 innings at an average of 47.62 and a strike-rate of 142.16 with three half-centuries to his name this season.

The last time they played Gujarat earlier this season, Rahul looked good during his brief stay at the crease. He had scored a quickfire 28 off 14 balls, hitting four boundaries and a six at a strike-rate of 200. However, he failed to build on the start and convert the same.

Coming back fresh from the break, the star batter will have to shoulder responsibility and lead the batting unit. In a pressure game for Delhi, they will bank on their senior batter to come good and score big against Gujarat at home.

GT skipper Shubman Gill has not only led the team well but also led from the front with the bat this season. Gill is also among the top run-getters overall and is the second-highest run-scorer for Gujarat so far with 508 runs from 11 innings at an average of 50.80 and a strike-rate of 152.55 with five fifties to his name.

Against DC in a game of utmost importance in terms of qualification and a chance to finish in the top two, Gill will have to step up once again and lead from the front with the bat.
