It’s time for another classic showdown. On April 17, Gujarat Titans is facing Delhi Capitals. Both teams are geared up for the upcoming game. Before stepping into the game, Gujarat Titans made some notable changes. One of them is, that Kane Williamson is missing this match. In this article, we will discuss the reason for his absence. Find out why Kane Williamson is missing from today’s IPL 2024 clash against DC.
Reason of Williamson’s Absence:
The Narendra Modi Stadium is organizing the excellent clash between Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals. Both teams won their previous matches and all geared up for the next challenges. Fans are anticipating an exciting clash. But GT made a brave change. After missing out on the last game, Kane Williamson is missing out on this game too.
After coming back from an injury, Kane Williamson was allowed to make a good impact. However, he failed to deliver impactful performances for the team. Against Punjab, he scored 22 runs in 26 balls. After that, he continued struggling. That becomes a concern for the management.
After that, the management made a smart strategic move. They opted to bench Williamson and go for the other player to bring balance to the team. After missing out on the match against Rajasthan Royals, he is missing out on the match against DC.
Gill’s Words and GT’s Playing XI:
In the toss, Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill updated about new changes. He said, “We would have bowled first as well, looks like a good wicket, last night there was no dew, hopefully it’ll stay the same today. We have been playing some good cricket even in the matches that we lost, just couldn’t nail the big moments. Magnificent stadium, we’ll get some excellent support. Three changes for us. Saha is back, so is Miller and Sandeep Warrier makes his debut for us, he replaces Umesh Yadav.”
GT’s Playing XI: Shubman Gill(c), Wriddhiman Saha(w), Sai Sudharsan, Abhinav Manohar, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Mohit Sharma, Noor Ahmad, Spencer Johnson, Sandeep Warrier
