Top contender for India’s Test captaincy, Shubman Gill, will be the cynosure of all eyes as IPL action returns to the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday evening. The Gill-led Gujarat Titans (16 points from 11 games) take on hosts Delhi Capitals, led by Axar Patel.

Delhi in fifth position

GT’s assistant coach-cum-batting coach Parthiv Patel, who came for the match-eve press conference, was all praise for Gill’s leadership ability. “Gill has been fantastic [as GT skipper]. I don’t need to mention anything about it. Going forward, what the talks are, I don’t know, but for GT, he has been a fantastic captain. He 
has been handling the situation well with the guys,” said Patel. DC are in fifth position after 11 matches with six wins, four losses and one no result against Sunrisers Hyderabad on May 5 due to rain.
