NEW DELHI: Delhi Capitals will rely on Rishabh Pant's competitive edge and Jake Fraser McGurk's exceptional skills as they aim to stay in the IPL playoff race when they face an in-form Rajasthan Royals in a must-win game on Tuesday.
Delhi Capitals have had an inconsistent campaign so far, with five wins and six losses from 11 games. While they must win their remaining three games, doing so would only bring them to 16 points, which may not be enough to secure a spot in the final four.
When the two teams last met in Jaipur in March, Delhi Capitals lost control during the latter part of their bowling innings, with
Riyan Parag
playing a standout role for Rajasthan.
For Rajasthan Royals, a victory would propel Sanju Samson's team to the top of the table.
Ahead of the highly anticipated match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, RR's Riyan Parag and DC's
Prithvi Shaw
were seen enjoying a lighthearted practice session together.
"Bhaichara on top," Rajasthan Royals captioned while posting a video.
