Star opener David Warner, who hasn’t had a very memorable season at bat thus far, was benched by the DC team management.
In seven innings, the southpaw has scored 167 runs with a strike rate of 135.77 and an average of 23.85. Warner struck 52 (35) in his team’s third game against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), his lone half-century of the season.
Gujarat Titans (GT) and Delhi Capitals (DC) are set to face off in Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) Match 40. Gujarat skipper Shubman Gill made the right call at the toss and chose to bowl first. Delhi changed their playing XI a few times going into the match after losing to Sunrisers Hyderabad by 67 runs in their previous encounter.
Shai Hope, who has scored 63 runs in three innings at an average of 31.50 and a strike rate of 140, has taken the position of the opening batter. Conversely, they substituted Lalit Yadav, who was in the starting lineup for the previous match, with impact players.
