Captain View
Sanju Samson | RR Skipper
We will bowl first. It’s a day game, it becomes easier to bat second. We have all settled down and moved on to this game, it was a complete team effort by everyone. Evin Lewis and Chris Morris miss out; Tabraiz Shamsi and David Miller are in. They have a balanced side, we are looking forward to an exciting game
Rishabh Pant | DC Skipper
We were looking to bowl first as well, but it doesn’t matter. There will be a bit on the wicket in the day game. One change for us, Lalit Yadav replaces Marcus Stoinis. It’s good to be nearing a record, but we’re not looking at individual performances, not thinking too much about qualifying.

IPL 2021 DC vs RR Highlights
Delhi Capitals Batting
Prithvi Shaw and Dhawan walk in to lead the Delhi Capitals while Mustafizur opens the bowling attack.
While DC expects an aggressive opening partnership, both openers fails to make it. Kartik Tyagi draws the first blood by dismissing Dhawan for 8 run. In the followed over Chetan Sakariya dismissed Shaw and makes 2 wickets for 21 runs.
Shreyas Iyer and pant join hands and added 62 runs partnership before Mustafizur dismiss Pant for 24 runs. RR skipper Samson did a beautiful glove work behind the stump to dismiss the well-settled Shreyas Iyer for 43 runs.
With Hetmyer’s 28 runs contribution DC scored 154 runs for 6 wickets loss.
Rajasthan Royals Batting
Liam Livingstone and Yashasvi Jaiswal walks in to the crease to lead RR to chase down the target of 154 runs while Avesh Khan opens the bowling attack.
RR openers fails to score the expected runs as Liam dismissed off the very first over for just 1 run. Soon Jaiswal too loses his wicket in the next over and walks to pavilion with a score of 5 runs.
Sanju Samson, RR skipper struggles a lot to make a steady partnership as DC bowlers dismiss the RR batsman in regular intervals. The lone fight of the RR skipper went worthless as DC beats RR by 33 runs.
