Delhi Capitals' next match in IPL 2025 will be played against Gujarat Titans on Saturday, 19 April at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. It is worth noting that before this match, a good news has come out for the fans of Delhi Capitals.

Actually, DC captain Axar Patel has revealed that the team's star batsman and vice-captain Faf du Plessis can be seen in action in the match against Gujarat Titans.

Yes, this is what has happened. Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel himself has expressed hope for Faf's return soon. He talked about Faf's fitness after the match against Rajasthan Royals. He said, "I was told that Faf will not be able to play three matches. This is the time he needs to recover and two matches have already been played. Maybe he will play the match against Gujarat. But the physio has to confirm how his rehabilitation is going."

Let us tell you that 40-year-old Faf du Plessis was injured during the match played against Royal Challengers Bangalore on 10 April. He has been away from cricket action since then and has missed two consecutive matches in the season. Earlier, he did not play a match against Chennai Super Kings due to illness. It is worth noting that DC fans will hope for Faf to be fit as soon as possible, as this legendary batsman has experience of 407 T20 matches in which he has scored 11317 runs, hitting 6 centuries and 79 half-centuries.

Also know that Delhi Capitals star spinner Kuldeep Yadav was also injured during the match against Rajasthan Royals. He suffered a shoulder injury while fielding, after which he was seen in a lot of pain and had to leave the field and go back to the pavilion. On Kuldeep's injury, Akshar said, "I do not have any update about Kuldeep yet. If something serious had happened, we would have known by now."
