Arun Jaitley Stadium Analysis

The surface of the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi is a little slow, which might be a problem for batters. However, the tiny area of the field and speedy outfield compensate for this, allowing for tremendous scoring. The World Cup and the last game tell belters are being offered to the batsmen.

Fraser is an aggressive batter and can smash the ball very hard and effectively. Fraser has scored two half-centuries till now, the last one was the fastest of the tournament in just 15 balls. Jake Fraser-McGurk is the much-needed addition to DC’s fragile batting lineup.

2. Shubman Gill

Gujarat Titans’ hope relies on their skipper Shubman Gill; whenever he fires, there’s a good score, and whenever he fails, GT finds themselves in a bad position. In his 100th IPL match, Gill would be looking to make it a memorable match.

3. Kuldeep Yadav

Amidst batters dominating IPL 2024, Kuldeep Yadav has been a star for DC. He has taken 10 wickets in 5 matches till now and was phenomenal in the last high-scoring thriller against SRH.
