RR vs DC Match Prediction: Delhi Capitals make a short trip to Jaipur to play the all-important Indian Premier League (IPL) match against home team Rajasthan Royals. The match is scheduled to start at Sawai Mansingh Indoor Stadium from 07:30 PM (IST) onwards.
Match Preview
Rajasthan Royals must be under no illusion that a winning start to the campaign doesn’t guarantee anything if you fail to back that up with a good run of results. After all, RR won 4 times in the first five matches during IPL 2023, but still, failed to qualify for top-four. They stuttered during the middle-phase of the tournament and were left to play the catch-up game. The 2008 IPL winners eventually finished 5th on the points table. But the team looks primed for more consistency this time around. Yashasvi Jaiswal has more experience, Sanju Samson look more focused, while new players have taken to the team spirit like a fish to the water.
For Delhi Capitals, it was a deja vu written all over the result against Punjab Kings. Rishabh Pant’s team failed to defend a decent target and on a pitch that had something for spinners. Ricky Ponting must be furious with some players and how they reacted in certain situations, especially the fielders who had a terrible day at work.

Sawai Mansingh Indoor Stadium Pitch Report
With the boundaries amongst the longest in India at this ground, Batsmen have always found it difficult to clear the ropes. Moreover, the dry weather and the heat also makes it a far tough job to bowl on this ground. That said, the new ball is likely to do some tricks, while spinners might not get the desired purchase since the pitch is relatively new.

RR vs DC Match Prediction: Best Batters And Bowlers
RR Probable Highest scorer: Yashasvi Jaiswal
Scored 24 runs off 12 balls against Lucknow Super Giants, with 18 of those runs coming in boundaries. He was RR’s highest run-getter last season and with the experience he has now and the form he is in, makes for a great pick in this match.
DC Probable Highest Scorer: Mitchell Marsh
The Australian all-rounder is a hard-hitter batsman who can easily clear the boundaries in any ground. Even against Punjab Kings, for the short period he was on the crease, DC looked dangerous.
RR Probable Best Bowler: Yuzvendra Chahal
The former RCB leggie is one of the premium spinners in the world. But the 33-year-old struggled in the match against LSG, which was odd for a player of his prestige. But he should be ready for this game.
DC Probable Best Bowler: Kuldeep Yadav
Just like Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav is someone who is considered as the best in his craft. But unlike Chahal, Kuldeep started the campaign in a red-hot form, as he picked up 2 wickets in the very first match.
