Rahul Tewatia shines despite added responsibility

Rahul Tewatia’s 38*(18) took Gujarat Titans over the line against Punjab Kings on Sunday night, putting the back-to-back finalists back on track after a rocky start to the season.
 

The Titans southpaw has seen some added responsibility this season as a result of a lack of form from their top order, with Tewatia coming in on average with 36 balls remaining in the innings. That’s 16 balls earlier than during the 2023 campaign and 7 balls earlier than in 2022.
 

Tewatia has shown a significant lean towards batting at the backend of the inning - striking at just 77 in Overs 7-15 in a Titans shirt. Tewatia’s numbers against pace are also considerably better than against spin, where he strikes at just 113.
 

The Capitals will be aware of his weakness to coming in early and will be keen to strike early as they did in the reverse fixture - he scored 10 off 15 coming in at the start of the 7th over in Ahmedabad before falling lbw to Axar Patel.

6:13 PM

GT’s Misfiring Middle Order

Gujarat Titans have struggled with the bat so far this season, particularly in games in which Shubman Gill has failed to fire.
 

When Gill doesn’t fire, the responsibility falls on the Titans Middle Order to help set a platform for the likes of Tewatia and Rashid Khan to explode at the death. In the 2022 and 2023 seasons, the Titans No.3-5 batters performed admirably, averaging over 30 in both seasons with strike rates in excess of 130. This season however Titans No.3-5 batters have averaged just 19 with the bat while striking at 115, no side’s No.3-5 have scored slower and only RCB have a lower average.

 

Pressure will be on the returning David Miller to bring some stability to the Middle Order, he’s still trying to find the form he showed in the 2022 and 2023 seasons that helped push the Titans to the final on both occasions.

5:57 PM

Gill’s struggles against the Capitals

Shubman Gill averages 29.2 against Delhi Capitals across his 13 innings, only against Chennai Super Kings (26.7) does he have a lower average. His strike rate of 127 against the Capitals is also nothing to write home about.
 

Gill has failed to fire in his last three games against the Capitals, with scores of 14(13), 6(7) and 8(6) - dismissed by Anrich Nortje in two of those three innings. Nortje has a strong head-to-head against Gill, with 3 dismissals in 6 innings at an average of 11.3. Should Gill survive the early pace threat, he should be able to nullify the Capitals spin duo of Kuldeep and Axar - he’s not been dismissed by either of them across 69 balls faced combined.

5:48 PM

Capitals’ lack of new ball consistency

Delhi Capitals conceded a world record 125-0 inside the Powerplay in their last outing against Sunrisers Hyderabad, with Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma putting them to the sword.
 

In their previous game, Delhi managed to restrict today’s opponents to 30-4 on their way to bowling them out for 89 in Ahmedabad.
 

This lack of consistency has plagued them throughout the season - on the face of it they have the second highest bowling economy in Overs 1-6, however this is in part due to having the two most expensive Powerplay displays - they also own three of the four best Powerplay displays in terms of economy rate this season…which version of the Capitals will turn up today?
