Delhi Capitals are hosting Gujarat Titans in the 7th match of Indian Premier League (IPL) on Tuesday (April 4). The two teams got contrasting starts to their IPL campaign with GT winning against CSK while the Capitals lost by 50 runs against LSG. Irrespective of those results, both teams will be keen on earning two points by winning this match. Interestingly, both DC and GT have made a couple of changes each to their playing XI.
With South Africa's players available now, DC have wasted no time in including Anrich Nortje in the playing XI. But he has come in at the expense of Rovman Powell that has surprised many. The reason for the same could be the team combination the management has decided to go with. Powell has played several sparkling knocks for DC in the past but couldn't do much in the previous game scoring only one run.
Warner at the toss also called it a 'harsh call' even as DC have decided to back Rilee Rossouw at number four. Moreover, Sarfaraz Khan has also been retained but he will not be donning the gloves. They have handed a debut to Abishek Porel who was signed as Rishabh Pant's replacement recently. As for the Gujarat Titans, they have included David Miller and Sai Sudharsan in the XI.
