IPL inaugural winners Rajasthan Royals (RR) are set to take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 9th match of the ongoing 17th Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) edition. This match is going to be held on Thursday, March 28 at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.
RR are full of confidence after the win over Lucknow Supergiants. Because their aim is to get their second win in the tournament. With a strong batting lineup like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler, RR pose a threat to DC’s aspirations. They have a strong bowling line-up with names like Trent Boult as well as the spin duo of Ravi Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal.
On the other hand, Rishabh Pant-led DC is yet to taste victory in the IPL. Despite a strong top order featuring David Warner and Mitchell Marsh, DC will have to up their game to face the challenge posed by RR. Their batting still looks weak compared to Rajasthan Royals.
