Delhi Capitals head into their DC vs GT head-to-head in IPL 2026 having won both their opening matches, while Gujarat Titans are yet to register a single point.
DC beat LSG and MI by 6 wickets each. GT lost to PBKS, then fell to RR by 6 runs. That contrast in form makes Match 14 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on April 8 feel heavier than a regular league game. Overall, GT lead this fixture 4-3 across 7 IPL matches, but the 2026 season has flipped the momentum completely in Delhi’s favor.

DC vs GT Venue Breakdown
Delhi has done something remarkable at GT’s home ground.
| Venue | Matches | DC Won | GT Won |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi | 3 | 1 | 2 |
| Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| MCA Stadium, Pune | 1 | 0 | 1 |
DC have won twice at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, which is GT’s home ground. That result stands out in a seven-match rivalry. GT has bounced back by winning two of three at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, so neither side has fully dominated on home soil.
Batters Who Have Dominated DC vs GT Games
GT has the volume scorers, and DC has the averages that make you look twice.
| Batter | Team | Innings | Runs | Average | Strike Rate | Best |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sai Sudharsan | GT | 5 | 283 | 94.33 | 158.98 | 108* |
| Shubman Gill | GT | 7 | 218 | 36.33 | 161.48 | 93* |
| Axar Patel | DC | 6 | 201 | 33.50 | 136.73 | 66 |
| Rishabh Pant | DC | 3 | 147 | 147.00 | 177.10 | 88* |
| KL Rahul | DC | 2 | 140 | 140.00 | 177.21 | 112* |
Sudharsan is the standout name across both sides with 283 runs at 94.33. Gill has played more innings than anyone on this list, but averages 36.33, which suggests he has had some quiet games alongside the big ones. The DC numbers lower down are striking.
Pant at 147.00 and Rahul at 140.00 from just 3 and 2 innings respectively show what this batting lineup can do when their top names are firing together. The problem for DC has been getting both of them available and in form at the same time in this fixture.
Bowlers Who Have Shaped This Fixture
One name sits completely apart from the rest on this list.
| Bowler | Team | Innings | Wickets | Economy | Average | Best |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mohammad Shami | GT | 3 | 9 | 6.83 | 9.11 | 4/11 |
| Khaleel Ahmed | DC | 5 | 6 | 7.77 | 23.33 | 2/24 |
| Rashid Khan | GT | 7 | 6 | 7.92 | 34.33 | 3/31 |
| Kuldeep Yadav | DC | 7 | 5 | 6.55 | 35.40 | 2/29 |
| Mukesh Kumar | DC | 4 | 5 | 9.44 | 27.40 | 3/14 |
Shami’s 9 wickets in 3 innings at an average of 9.11 is in a different league to everyone else on this list. Three innings, nine wickets. That kind of return in a short head-to-head record is almost unfair. Kuldeep has been DC’s steadiest option across 7 innings, going at just 6.55 an over, the tightest economy among the regular bowlers here.
Mukesh Kumar’s 3/14 is the second-best single-match performance in this fixture, even if his overall economy of 9.44 has been expensive on other days.

Conclusion: Four Wins For GT, Three Heartbreaks For DC
Gujarat Titans lead the DC vs GT head-to-head 4-3, but seven matches into this rivalry, it still has not settled into a clear pattern. GT has won the last two; DC had won three in a row before that. The individual numbers tell their own story.
Shami’s 9 wickets at 9.11 in just 3 innings, Sudharsan’s 283 runs at 94.33, Pant’s average of 147 from 3 innings. These are not numbers you expect from a rivalry this young. With DC unbeaten in 2026 and GT yet to win, Match 14 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium could shift this entire balance.
