Playing XI predictions for the DC vs RR IPL match today

Delhi Capitals Probable XI: David Warner, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Abhishek Porel, Rishabh Pant (C, wk), Tristan Stubbs, Shai Hope, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Khaleel Ahmed, Ishant Sharma, Mukesh Yadav

Player to watch out for Rishabh Pant’s road to recovery from a horrific accident has been a remarkable one. However, what is even more of a pleasant surprise has been how quickly he has been able to get back to his batting best. With the qualification on line, the onus and spotlight will be once again DC skipper to produce the goods with the bat and as a captain on the field.

Impact sub: Rasikh Salam

Rajasthan Royals probable XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson (c, wk), Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, R Ashwin, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Sandeep Sharma

Impact sub: Yuzvendra Chahal

Player to watch out for After a poor first half of the tournament Yashasvi Jaiswal has hit form the tournament. If Rajasthan has to win their second trophy they need their young Indian left-hander to continue to contribute in the remainder of the season. Coming on back off a blistering half-century in previous game against SRH Jaiswal would be looking to make another score of substance.
