Jaipur, April 22: Ajinkya Rahane struck his second IPL hundred, first in 7 years, and Steve Smith made a quick fifty as Rajasthan Royals made 191/6 against Delhi Capitals. But that was not sufficient to keep Capitals down as they rode in fifties by Shikhar Dhawan and Rishabh Pant to win the game by 6 wicket. And they are on top of the table too.
A rejuvenated Rajasthan Royals will look to maintain a winning momentum when they host Delhi Capitals in their next league match in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 here on Monday (April 22).
Shreyas Iyer-led Delhi Capitals have been doing better at away games rather than at their home ground but they managed to reverse that record at Feroz Shah Kotla with a five-wicket win over Kings XI Punjab on Saturday (April 20).
