Can KL Rahul help Delhi Capitals record their sixth win of IPL 2025?
The Delhi Capitals will play their seventh match of IPL 2025 against the Gujarat Titans on April 19 at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium. It is the first afternoon match in Ahmedabad this year, and DC will be keen to maintain their unbeaten record in away matches against GT.
The two teams have battled twice in Ahmedabad, with the Capitals prevailing on both occasions. DC have won five out of their six matches this season. Rahul played a major role in the team’s away wins against theĀ Chennai Super KingsĀ and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. It will be interesting to see if he can help DC beat GT in Ahmedabad.
