Rajasthan Royals are looking like a strong unit at the moment, especially on their home turf. They have Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler at the top.captain Sanju Samson to follow. Riyan Parag’s runs in the last game would have given them confidence while Dhruv Jurel has been excellent as a finisher. RR have two quality spinners in R Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal in the bowlih department, with Trent Boult looking good with the new ball.
Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals are coming off a loss to Punjab Kings in their last match. They need players like David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, and Rishabh Pant to fire. The inexperienced lower middle order can be a cause of concern for them. Fast bowler Anrich Nortje has joined the team and is set to play this match which will be a huge boost for the Capitals. The spinners Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav will have a big role to play.
Rajasthan Royals use their impact player in a slightly different way than most of the IPL teams. Since they have just three overseas players in their original playing XI, they have the option to bring in Rovman Powell or Nandre Burger as their impact player, depending upon whether they want to strengthen their batting or bowling.
Delhi Capitals are likely to use Abishek Porel as their impact player when they are batting and take out Khaleel Ahmed.
The match will be played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. It will be a good pitch for batting with longer boundaries. The spinners are expected to use the long boundaries to good effect.

Avesh Khan – Avesh Khan did not pick up any wicket in the last match. The pitch at Jaipur might not suit him and he is unlikely to get any wickets here. He can be avoided for this game.
Ricky Bhui – Despite being a top order batter, Bhui is likely to bat in the lower order for Delhi due to the availability of team’s star players at the top. The position might not suit him as he might not get to face enough balls. He scored just 3 runs in the last match and can be avoided for this game.
