The IPL 2025 season continues to thrill as Gujarat Titans (GT) square off against Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 35th match of the tournament. This high-stakes encounter will unfold on Saturday, April 19 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, kicking off at 3:30 PM IST.
GT, with four wins in six outings, will aim to leapfrog into the top tier of the points table, while DC, already flying high with five victories and just one loss, seek to extend their dominance. With star-studded lineups on both sides, fantasy cricket users will have tough yet exciting decisions to make.
Here are the top three captain and vice-captain picks for the GT vs DC clash:
This season, the Gujarat Titans have benefited greatly from the English dynamo. Buttler has accumulated 218 runs at an explosive strike rate of 158, including two impactful half-centuries. His aggressive style suits Ahmedabad’s flat tracks, making him a constant boundary-hitting threat.
Interestingly, Buttler has a stellar record at this very venue — 274 runs at an average of 54.8 and a strike rate of 150.5, making the Narendra Modi Stadium a happy hunting ground. If he gets going, he could easily be the highest fantasy point-scorer of the match.
In 2025, KL Rahul remains a standout player with the Delhi Capitals. With 232 runs at a solid average of 58 and a strike rate of 151.6, Rahul has played both the anchor and aggressor roles with ease.
His effectiveness during the middle overs—striking at over 160—makes him a strong contender against GT's spin-heavy bowling attack. He also tops the DC fantasy charts this season, racking up 476 points, making him a logical choice for captain or vice-captain.
Sai Sudharsan has been one of the standout batters in IPL 2025. With 329 runs to his name, the stylish left-hander averages 54.8 and strikes at 151.6, showing both consistency and flair.
What makes him an even more compelling fantasy option is his love affair with the Narendra Modi Stadium. He’s scored 219 runs here at a mind-blowing average of 73, registering three half-centuries in three innings. His current form and venue familiarity make him the safest and smartest captaincy pick for this match.
Sai Sudharsan's explosive form and Ahmedabad's domination make him a top-tier captaincy selection for fantasy teams in Match 35. KL Rahul is still a reliable, safe choice for vice captain, but Jos Buttler provides a powerful, high-upside option.
