New Delhi: Shubman Gill returned to action in the 14th match of IPL 2026 between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday but gave a worrying update on his neck injury. Delhi Capitals have chosen to continue their strong start to the season by choosing to face Gujarat Titans first in the IPL 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
While DC comes into the match with two wins, Gujarat Titans are still looking for their first win. The match also marked the return of GT captain Shubman Gill after missing the previous match due to muscle cramps.
Gill’s injury concerns and return
Gill’s comeback has given a boost to Gujarat, but updates on his fitness have raised some concerns. When asked if this was a recurring injury during India’s home series against South Africa, he admitted, “Much better, thank you. Yes, there are similar situations.”This suggests that the neck issues he faced before may still be lingering, even though he is fit enough to compete.

While bowling, Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel explained the decision to bowl first, pointing to the pitch conditions and recent success in chasing down the ball.“We bowl first. We have chased well in the last two games and this is a fresh wicket. It has been raining; there might be some moisture. Bowl first, look at the wicket, restrict them and chase the score,” he said.Delhi has looked strong with two wins in a row so far, while Gujarat Titans have struggled, losing both games. With Gill back in the lineup, GT will hope to turn things around and get their season on track, but concerns over his fitness may remain a topic going forward.
