Both sides have met on 30 occasions, with Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals on 15 occasions.
Rajasthan Royals won the toss and opted to bat. RR captain Riyan Parag said, “We are batting first. I don’t think it’s the usual Jaipur wicket. Little patchy as well. Bishi (Ravi Bishnoi) comes in. Dasun (Shanaka) sits out and is part of the impact sub. Shubham Dubey starts.”

DC captain Axar Patel said, ” I think let’s keep it for later. We have 3-4 changes. Starc is playing, unfortunately, Chameera is not playing. Sahil, who played the last game, has a neck spasm so he is not playing and Pathum is playing. David Miller is not playing because Pathum is the 4th overseas player, so Ashutosh is palying.
“I would have chased if I had won the toss. Because we saw a game being played here, 230 was chased by SRH. Wicket looks good, we will look to restrict them.”
I think, you have to go back to basics. In the tournament, everyday is a new day. You have to stay in present. What you have been doing good, you have to repeat that. Your body language is important, it is necessary to show that hunger,” concluded Axar Patel.
