Apr 2: Gujarat Titans v Delhi Capitals, 10th Match, MCA Stadium, Pune

Safe XI: Matthew Wade, Rishabh Pant (vice-capt), David Miller, Rovman Powell, Prithvi Shaw, Shubman Gill, Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya (capt), Shardul Thakur, Rashid Khan, Lockie Ferguson
Captain: Hardik Pandya
The Titans skipper has suggested he will bat up the order at No. 4 in the upcoming games. His batting average there is 36.78 in T20s, which is the best among all of his batting positions.
Vice-captain: Rishabh Pant
Although he missed out on the previous game, Pant has been in phenomenal touch since the start of 2022. The Capitals skipper is one of the top three run scorers against Rashid Khan in IPL (77 runs in 68 balls with only two dismissals). His last two scores at the MCA stadium are 31(22) and 79(45).
Hot Picks
Shardul Thakur: After an expensive start to this year's IPL, Thakur would be relieved to play at his favorite ground. He is also the leading wicket-taker in T20s in Pune with a tally of 19 in 14 games at a strike rate of 15.11.
Rashid Khan: The Afghanistan legspinner is an automatic choice in the safe XI of a fantasy team. He has not gone wicketless even once in his last eight outings against the Capitals, picking up 13 wickets at an average of 12.23 and an economy rate of 4.97
Differential Picks
Lockie Ferguson: Even if he didn't pick up any wickets, the New Zealand quick started the season really well against Lucknow Super Giants. He has been in stellar form in domestic cricket back home, finishing as the Super Smash T20s with 17 strikes in 10 games at an average of 16.12. The last time he played here for Rising Pune Super Giants, his bowling figures were 4-1-7-2.
David Miller: The South Africa batter is an IPL veteran and has played several significant knocks. Since the start of 2022, he has scored 223 runs in seven T20 games at an average of 55.75 and a strike rate of 154.86
High Risk XI: Rishabh Pant, David Miller, Rovman Powell, Abinav Manohar, Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya, Lalit Yadav, Mohammad Shami (capt), Shardul Thakur(vice-capt), Lockie Ferguson, Khaleel Ahmed
