Delhi has won only one of its first five matches in the IPL 2024 season, but since then, they have secured four victories in the next six matches. They continue to fight for a spot in the playoffs of the next stage of the tournament. The Capitals are still vying for their first title in the Indian Premier League. Rishabh Pant has shown outstanding performance with the bat this season and has earned himself a place in the Indian national team for the T20 World Cup, which will take place next month. Pant has amassed 398 runs off 11 innings for Delhi this season. Also, keep an eye on the performances of Delhi’s young stars Tristan Stubb and Jake Fraser-McGurk. Mukesh Kumar has taken 13 wickets for the Capitals this year, while Kuldeep Yadav and Khalil Ahmed have taken 12 each. The variety and success of Delhi’s bowlers in this year’s tournament are demonstrated by the seam bowling, left-arm spin, and wrist-spin options.
Rajasthan has won four games in a row, twice this IPL season. They have only suffered two defeats in 10 matches. However, their last result was a loss to the Sunrisers in Hyderabad, and they would like to bounce back against the Delhi Capitals. The royal family members are striving to replicate their title success from 2008. Riyan Parag and Sanju Samson have been the top performers for Rajasthan this IPL season. Parag has scored 409 runs compared to Samson’s 385. Both players average over 50 and score at a strike rate of over 150. They could play a crucial role in this match individually or in tandem. Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan, and Trent Boult have each taken 10 or more wickets for the Royals this IPL season. Chahal has taken 13 wickets, and he may have been the standout performer in the tournament. The conditions in Delhi could suit his exploits with extra turn and bounce.
