RR vs DC: Match Preview
Delhi Capitals stumbled in their IPL 2024 journey, suffering a defeat in their opening match against Punjab Kings.
Contrastingly, Rajasthan Royals clinched their maiden victory of the season by defeating Lucknow Super Giants in Jaipur on March 24th. Approaching their second home game, the Royals are eager to extend their winning streak.
The previous match unveiled a relatively dry surface at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium with minimal pace movement for pacers. However, with the upcoming match scheduled in the evening, the pitch might favor batsmen, setting the stage for a potentially high-scoring encounter.

RR vs DC: Team News
Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals will be monitoring the recovery of Riyan Parag from a bout of flu, hoping for a quick return to the squad.
If Parag is unable to play, the Royals might consider including Shubham Dubey, a promising acquisition from the auction, to bolster their finishing options. This adjustment won’t affect their impact substitutions significantly, with Nandre Burger potentially replacing a batter during their bowling innings.
Probable XII:
- Jos Buttler
- Yashasvi Jaiswal
- Sanju Samson (capt, wk)
- Riyan Parag/Shubham Dubey
- Shimron Hetmyer
- Dhruv Jurel
- R Ashwin
- Sandeep Sharma
- Yuzvendra Chahal
- Trent Boult
- Avesh Khan
- Nandre Burger
Delhi Capitals
Anrich Nortje has returned to the squad after missing the Capitals’ opener due to personal reasons. He could slot back into the playing XI immediately after two consecutive days of training.
Ishant Sharma’s availability for selection adds depth to the Capitals’ bowling unit after he hobbled off during the opening game due to an ankle injury.
The Capitals are likely to maintain David Warner and Mitchell Marsh as their opening pair, sidelining Prithvi Shaw. However, with Nortje’s return, one of Tristan Stubbs or Shai Hope might be omitted to accommodate Nortje’s impact in the bowling department.
This adjustment may leave their middle order slightly vulnerable, with Ricky Bhui and Abishek Porel expected to play, with one of them potentially substituted out after the batting innings.
Probable XII:
- David Warner
- Mitchell Marsh
- Shai Hope
- Rishabh Pant (capt, wk)
- Ricky Bhui
- Abishek Porel
- Axar Patel
- Kuldeep Yadav
- Sumit Kumar
- Mukesh Kumar
- Khaleel Ahmed
- Anrich Nortje
