Delhi vs Rajasthan on May 7

Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals will be taking on each other in the 56th match of the IPL 2024. The game is of different consequences for DC and RR. The 2020 finalists must treat it as a must-win game, as the teams lower than them in the points table are catching up quickly and aiming to rise. Additionally, they need to win by a huge margin to improve their net run rate, which could help them have a better chance of making it to the playoffs. RR has been arguably the best team in the season, with little to no major flaw in their lineup. They are nearly qualified for the playoffs. But the motive of the 2008 champions will be to try and win the match so that they can finish the group in the top two positions. It would allow them to play Qualifier 1, which is a slight advantage, as even after losing, they would get a second chance to enter the final. With the form they are in, RR seems to end the league stage in the top two positions.  The table toppers have a great set of players who have come together to play as a unit. In the matches RR lost, they competed well and ended up accepting the defeats with smaller margins. Against GT, they lost in the last over while defending over 190. Against SRH, they lost by a solitary run. 

Best economical pick – Rajasthan Royals’ Riyan Parag could be the best batter in the upcoming clash against Delhi Capitals. Parag has had a breakout season with 409 runs in the last 10 matches, Parag is the highest run-scorer for his side in the ongoing IPL. With a brilliant knock of 77 runs in his previous game against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Parag will aim to register another good performance.

Top captains & vice captains – Sanju Samson has been one of the best batters this season. He has been able to play well against both spinners and pacers equally well. The star batter has been brilliant in the middle overs phase where it is generally not easy to score runs at a quick pace. Jake Fraser-McGurk did not bat well in the previous game against KKR. However, given the caliber of the youngster, one can expect him to deliver the goods in the upcoming game. When on song, it is nearly impossible to stop him. Jake is a brilliant fielder too.

Smart pick – Delhi Capitals’ Kuldeep Yadav could be the best bowler in the upcoming game against Rajasthan Royals. With 12 wickets in his last eight matches, Yadav has been incredible with the ball. His spell will be crucial for his side to have results in their favour.

Cautious Pick – Shimron Hetmyer has been out of form this season. Barring the game against PBKS where he won the match for his side, the Southpaw has not been able to bat well in other matches. The finisher of the 2008 champions cannot be trusted given his form.

My XI – Sanju Samson (Captain), Jake Fraser-McGurk (Vice-Captain), Riyan Parag, Kuldeep Yadav, Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal, Rishabh Pant, Tristian Stubbs, Axar Patel
