Rajasthan Royals (RR) are set to play their second game at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Riyan Parag and his men are currently fourth in the points table with 12 points from nine games.

In the game against Punjab, they scored 264 only to see the total being chased down. Against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the side was bowled out for 75, which is their third lowest in the league.

RR vs DC: Predicted best performers of the match
Best batter – Vaibhav Sooryavanshi
The 15-year-old batter has been in prime form so far this season and became the first batter to reach the 400-run mark. The last time he played at this venue, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored a 36-ball century for his side. One can expect the young batting sensation to continue to dazzle the fans with the bat in hand.
Best bowler – Kuldeep Yadav
Left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav will be itching to help his side do well and get back to winning ways. The game against RR could see the 31-year-old comeback to his best form with the ball. Kuldeep has picked just seven scalps this season and has to give his best if his team has any hopes of making it to the playoffs.
Who will win the RR vs DC match 43 of IPL 2026?
Familiarity with the home ground and also with the current form makes Rajasthan the favourites to win the game. Not just the top order but even the middle order has come to the fore. Jofra Archer has started to bowl well, and his pace could trouble the Capitals’ top order once again.
