Delhi Capitals (DC) and Gujarat Titans (GT) are in the first act of their IPL 2026 campaigns. And both teams have come to realise how much the middle matters: not only as the points table begins to take shape, but also because they have won and lost on the backs of their middle orders.

DC had no business winning their first match from 26 for 4 in a chase of 142 against Lucknow Super Giants. Sameer Rizvi, slotting in as Impact Player, put his hand up with a stunning 70* off 47, while Tristan Stubbs made 39* off 32. In their next match, Rizvi rescued DC from 7 for 2 and larruped his way to 90 off 51 as DC chased down 163 against Mumbai Indians.GT made much better starts with the bat in their first two matches. They were 83 for 1 in the tenth over against Punjab Kings. Then Glenn Phillips, Washington Sundar, Shahrukh Khan and Rahul Tewatia all failed to cross either 25 or a strike rate of 150, and GT posted a below-par total that PBKS chased down with ease. Then, against Rajasthan Royals, GT fell away from 107 for 1 in the 11th over while pursuing 211. Again, none of their middle-order batters crossed 25.Since IPL 2025, GT’s middle-order batters (Nos. 4-7) have averaged 20.1 – the lowest in the competition by a significant margin. Their failures have shifted the focus from their top order – Shubman Gill, B Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler – who led the way in successful chases of 204 and 200 against DC last year. Now, GT’s middle order will need to come good if they are to pick up their first points and halt DC’s unbeaten run.
