David Warner’s Delhi Capitals defeated Gujarat in their most recent match, putting an end to the team’s three-game winning sequence. On Friday, May 5 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, the Titans will take on the previous season’s runners-up, the Rajasthan Royals, in an effort to regain their winning ways.
