Both RR and DC have strong teams and an equal head-to-head coming to this game. Although RR is coming after winning against PBKS, DC is coming after losing 3 matches back-to-back and looking at the whole tournament, RR is ahead in the competition. RR’s explosive batting can make them win the game in the power play itself. Although DC’s spin attack, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, have not been so effective, they have the experience to take on RR after the power play. RR is also now not much dependent on their openers Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi; they have reliable finishers in the form of Donovan Feereira and Subham Dubey. Out of the 30 times that DC and RR have locked horns in IPL, DC has won 15 times, and RR has won 15 times.
