Played: 27
RR Wins: 13
DC Wins: 14
RR: For Rajasthan, their captain Sanju Samson and Jos Buttler can be the key batters.
DC: Delhi Capitals have a decent batting unit and David Warner will be one of their key batters. Along with the Aussie, captain Rishabh Pant may play his first big knock after the long hiatus.
RR: RR do have a superb bowling unit this year. Yuzvendra Chahal and Trent Boult can be their key bowlers.
DC: Delhi Capitals lacked authority in their bowling in the last match. Kuldeep Yadav is going to be their premier weapon, whereas Axar Patel can be Kuldeep's perfect partner in crime.
Rajasthan Royals are a strong unit this season. They are looking well-balanced and have top players across positions. On the other hand, despite Rishabh Pant's comeback, Delhi looked rusty in their first match. They failed to convert their starts with the bat and the bowling was also not up to the mark. We can expect a strong fight from the Capitals but Rajasthan Royals are going to be the likely winners.
Winner Prediction: RR
Highest Scorer Prediction: Jos Buttler (RR)
Best Bowler Prediction: Trent Boult (RR)
