Rajasthan opened the season with a commanding 72-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad, but they lost their second game inexplicably. Sanju Samson & Co will attempt to dust themselves off and resume their winning ways.
In their most recent match, Rajasthan Royals fell just 5 runs short of their target while chasing 198 against Punjab Kings. The top scorers for the Men in Pink were Shimron Hetmyer (36) and Samson (42). The Delhi Capitals will be under a lot of pressure after losing two straight games, therefore the Royals will be optimistic of pulling out a victory.
Ravichandran Ashwin will be essential for the hosts, and RR’s bowling will be crucial against DC. In 20 IPL games against DC, Ashwin has taken 22 wickets at an average of 21.90. He shares the scoring with Sunil Narine and Lasith Malinga.
He only needs three more wickets to surpass Harbhajan Singh (24), Dwayne Bravo, Piyush Chawla, and Jasprit Bumrah (23 apiece) as the IPL’s highest wicket-taker against DC. Ashwin has been regarded as one of the best spinners in the IPL. The off-spinner has taken 159 wickets from 186 games, ranking seventh in IPL history with a 28.84 average per wicket.
