The Delhi Capitals (DC) will face the Gujarat Titans (GT) in their next Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match on Sunday, May 18, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. After a few tough games, Axar Patel’s team is eager to get back to winning ways, while Shubman Gill’s Titans aim to continue their impressive form.

The Capitals are currently in a tough spot. Since losing to the Mumbai Indians on April 13, they've struggled to regain momentum, winning only two of their last seven matches. They are currently fifth on the points table with 13 points from 11 games, so a win today is crucial to keep their playoff hopes alive.

On the other hand, the Gujarat Titans are having a great season. With 8 wins from 11 matches, they’re at the top of the standings and are looking to maintain their consistency.

Will Jos Buttler Be in Action for GT Against DC Today?

Now, many fans are curious whether Jos Buttler will play today. Due to the India-Pakistan conflict, some overseas players had to return to their home countries during the IPL’s brief suspension. While Buttler might miss the playoffs, he will be available for today’s game against DC. This is important for GT since Kusal Mendis, his potential replacement, can only join after May 26.

So, to put it simply - yes, Jos Buttler will be playing today’s match.

GT Chances To Qualify For Playoffs

Regarding the playoffs, Gujarat Titans just need one more win from their last three matches to secure a spot. If they win two more games, they will likely finish in the top two, which gives them a better chance to reach the finals.
