Pitch Report
Analysis
The Delhi Capitals made a massive surge after their poor start which was halted by their recent defeat against the Kolkata Knight Riders. But despite these results, DC has emerged as a formidable unit with a blistering batting lineup comprising in-form players like Prithvi Shaw, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Rishabh Pant and Tristan Stubbs. On the bowling front, Kuldeep Yadav has led an injury-prone attack while Rasikh Dar Salam emerging as an exciting young talent.
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals have been the best team in IPL 2024 with a settled and firing set of quality players. The RR batting has seen performances from nearly every batter with Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag pipping the rest with the highest numbers of runs. Among the bowlers, Yuzvendra Chahal has continued as the strike bowler while the pace bowling trio of Trent Boult, Avesh Khan and Sandeep Sharma has continued delivering consistent performances.
