DC vs RR Toss Updates, IPL 2024: Rajasthan Royals wins toss, to bowl first vs Delhi Capitals

But a heavy defeat against Kolkata Knights Riders in it last game has put DC back on its haunches, with its top-four chances now hanging on other results.

Rajasthan Royals won the toss and chose to bowl first against Delhi Capitals.

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

Rajasthan Royals: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson (c, wk), Riyan Parag, Shubham Dubey, Donovan Ferriera, Rovman Powell, R Ashwin, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Sandeep Sharma

For Royals, the plot has been far more buoyant. Sanju Samson’s men have been on a roll, sitting second in the table with eight wins out of ten matches. A win against DC will help it get back on top of the standings, displacing Kolkata Knight Riders.

The mood in the Royals camp continues to be upbeat despite a nerve-wracking last-ball defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last game.
