Rajasthan Royals will lock horns with Delhi Capitals in Match 43 of IPL 2026 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. RR will look to win this game and get to 14 points and make their chances of playoff strong. RR has been a strong side pertaining to their explosive batting approach and powerplay strategies with likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Dhruv Jurel.

In their recent win against PBKS also Subham Duney and Donovan Ferreira played exceptional innings. Their bowling, too, has been phenomenal. Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger have been spot on with their spells with the new ball. Ravi Bishnoi and Brjesh Sharma lead the spin attack well. Jofra Archer has 14 wickets for RR this season to date.
