Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals are going to play the 10th match of IPL 2022 on Saturday. Both teams got off to a winning start this season and look really balanced on paper. Gujarat Titans won their opening match against Lucknow Super Giants after a wonderful spell from Shami helped restrict the opposition to a modest total. In reply, Miller and Tewatia finished the job as they cruised through the chase. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals stunned Mumbai Indians chasing a total of 177 when they were in all sorts of trouble, losing 5 wickets for nothing. Shardul Thakur, Axar, and Lalit starred as they chased the target with an over to spare. Both these teams will be looking to continue their good performances.

Here are 3 players you can avoid in your fantasy teams for the GT vs DC game:

1. Kamlesh Nagarkoti

Kamlesh Nagarkoti bowled just 2 overs in the previous match and was very expensive going at an economy of more than 14. Even in the last edition, he could play only 1 match which shows that along with injuries the team management does not seem to bank on him for more than 2 overs. Avoid him for this match.

2. Mandeep Singh

Batting at 3, Mandeep got a duck in the previous match and his overall IPL record of 1670 runs at an average of 22 does not inspire much confidence from the fantasy perspective. He will also be batting below the established openers and against a good bowling attack. So avoid him for this match as there are much better alternatives available in the batting section.

3. Abhinav Manohar

Playing his first IPL match, he was ice-cool as he finished off the previous match with a little cameo of 15 from 7 balls. But he is batting way too low at No.7 and, as it is just his first season, it is better to avoid him for this match as he might not get enough balls to make an impact to the fantasy teams.
