The clash between the Rajasthan Royals and the Delhi Capitals could be one of the most defining matches in this edition of the IPL. No team has cemented their spot in the playoffs and the teams are still battling it out. Delhi Capitals were off to a strong start in the IPL powered by Sameer Rizvi but it didn’t last long. The Rajasthan Royals will be eyeing a victory here at the Arun Jaitley Stadium as they have 3 games remaining as this win could mean a lot in the grand scheme of things. With both teams in for a thrilling match at Delhi, here are the top 3 players to look out for:
1)KL Rahul
The Delhi Capitals opener KL Rahul has been one of the strongest batters in the top-order this season and his consistency has been fine as well. In the previous game against the Rajasthan Royals, KL Rahul played a sensational knock along with Pathum Nissanka to take the Capitals across the line. He is currently in the 6th position in the Orange Cap leaderboard and he will be looking to climb the rankings as well. He will have to play another blinder of an innings if the Capitals will have to secure another 2 points.
2)Vaibhav Sooryavanshi
The young sensation from Bihar has been one of the finest finds amongst the youngsters in Indian cricket and he has taken down every elite bowler with authority. It has been a rough couple of games for Rajasthan Royals with two consecutive defeats and the key to their resurgence will lie in the hands of Sooryavanshi. If he can bat at least through the powerplay, the Royals could get off to an explosive start. It will be an interesting match-up between Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and the pacers of Delhi Capitals and only time will tell who will thrive under pressure.
3)Madhav Tiwari
Delhi Capitals’ hero from the other night against Punjab Kings will be up to grab another opportunity presented in his way with their qualification chances hanging by a thread. The Madhya Pradesh-born talent was impressive in the domestic circuit and he has held his nerve to perform in the grand stage of the IPL as well. He was awarded the Player of the Match award for his powerful cameo and an important bowling spell. If Madhav Tiwari can repeat his all-round brilliance once again today, the Delhi Capitals will have a higher chance of winning.
