Key Player Stats to Watch Out For:-
Faf du Plessis – Mr. Reliable at Arun Jaitley:-
Faf du Plessis has hit two 50s in four innings at this venue and has also hit two 50s in the last five innings against RR so if Faf plays then you can keep an eye on him because Fab’s fabulous innings comes on this ground as well against RR Rahul also hits hard against RR and has hit 750, has scored 713 runs has an average of 51 against RR and in the last five innings also back to back 50s have come Rahul has two 50s back to back so keep an eye on the classy Rahul as well You can keep an eye on him.
Jofra Archer – DC’s Trouble Maker:-
Jofra Archer has taken three wickets twice in the last four innings against DC.
Jack Fraser-McGurk – Home Ground Advantage:-
Jack Fager Meg has scored three 50s in six innings on this ground. His form is bad but he can come back in form. You can keep an eye on him. In the last six innings, a total of 200 plus has been made here. Delhi has won four times on this ground and all the matches have been 200 plus, so this match can also be high scoring. So you can keep an eye on these stats and these players.
Head-to-Head Record:-
About head to head battles, 29 head to head matches have been played between these two teams. It is a very tough competition. Rajasthan has won 15 and Delhi has won 14. If we look at the last 10 matches, it is a tough competition here too, but Delhi looks a little better. It has won six out of 10 matches and RR has won four.
If we look at the last match, Delhi had scored 221 here and defeated RR by 20 runs. The score had reached 200 and this match was played on this ground as that the last six matches were high scoring and Delhi has won four. Jack Fuzz Magar had scored 50 runs, Porel had played well and Stuff had played well and all of them are still part of the team and from RR’s side Sanju Samson’s handsome innings of 86 runs came, no one supported him otherwise we could have won this match as well.
Delhi Capitals – On Fire, But Slightly Shaky Lately:-
About Delhi Capitals, so Delhi Bhaiya is roaring fiercely this year but finally their victory chariot has stopped in the last match which is against Mumbai These people have lost, they defeated others in other’s home, they defeated others on their adopted home ground as well but they lost in their real home and lost the match which they had won, meaning Mumbai had scored 205 and the team was in the game till 18-19 overs and after that three back to back run outs and the team lost and the biggest mistake here would be that what was the need for Ashutosh Sharma to take two runs.
Batting Depth & Form:-
A hit in three balls, it is not that Starc cannot bat, it is just that there is no game awareness, the players lack a bit of experience due to which Delhi lost the match which they had won, before that Delhi has performed very well this year, new heroes are emerging every day in batting, sometimes Karun Nair is scoring 89, sometimes Abhishek Corle is getting out, sometimes Rahul is playing his classy innings, sometimes Ashutosh Sharma, Biraj are doing well, so the batting is going very well.
Bowling Breakdown:-
This team chased a very good 209 this year despite losing five for 65 and this match was also almost chased, so the batting is very good and in the last match we saw that in the match before this against RCB, there were early breakthroughs and after that they chased a total of around 165-65, so the batting is very good and this team is full of experienced classic players, but it is the same that sometimes luck does not favor you and you guys lose a won match. About bowling, then in the last one or two matches, their bowling has been a bit exposed. Mr. Starc has proved to be expensive and Mohit Sharma has not looked consistent. Axar Patel is getting hit continuously, so these are some problems with the team, but the rest of the bowlers are doing very well.
Rajasthan Royals – Inconsistency Their Biggest Foe:-
Kuldeep is doing well, Vipraaj is doing well, Mukesh Kumar is also bowling well and Star has also bowled well in some matches. So Delhi is all set to create havoc this year. Beat RCB at RCB’s home, chased 163, won against CSK by 26 runs, scored 183 at CSK’s home in that match, chased 209 against LCG and stopped SRH at 163. So Delhi has shown its strength in both batting and bowling.
About changes, we can see changes. T Nitrajan can be used in place of Mohit Sharma and if Faf is fit, he will come, if he is fit, he will play or Jack Faze Mager will be seen playing, one of the two will play. Delhi has come to the second position at the moment due to losing one match.
Batting Breakdown:-
The pair of Faf du Plessis and Jack Faze Mager in the opening players till now, but now we can also see some changes because opening has been a problem for Delhi. They are not getting a good start in opening. If Faf du Plessis If he plays, Abhishek Poral can be seen opening in his place and Jack Fizer Mager can be shown the way out.
Another option is to go with both Faf and Jack Fizer Mager. If these guys go, then Abhishek Poral will have to sit out, which is a bit difficult to digest. Abhishek Poral is a very good player and he scored 33 in the last match as well, 30 plus here too, 30 plus here too, he is a consistent player, so it is a bit difficult to leave him out.
Bowling Report:-
Anyway, Jack Faz Mager can go out and if Faf is fit then he will open and if Faf is not fit then Jack Faz Mager and Abhishek Poral will open. They are a bit experienced in opening and have not been tested a bit, have not performed well, so their opening is quite weak, they will not give a good start this year.
Well, if seen on paper, they are quite explosive, whether it is Faf, Fraser Mag or Abhishek Pol, they do very explosive batting, but have not performed well this year. The middle order is the real strength of this team and the middle order is now There has been another upgrade, Karun Nair has arrived, he scored 89 runs and looked classy while beating Bumrah as well, Karun Nair, classy Rahul, two classy batsmen who play authentic shots, proper cricketing shots, are present in the middle order, both are in good form 93 77 34 KL Rahul is in very good form this year, average of 51, 713 runs in 16 innings against RR, chances of both of them performing well will be high in this match as well and Karun Nair has scored 492 in 14 innings at this venue and has scored 34 runs in two innings against RR, look at his form in domestic cricket, 86 135 45, he has consistently scored good runs, so both these players can perform in this match and a lot will depend on them, Axar Patel is doing 2025 but is not able to play big innings, so we can say that he is a weak link in the middle order, he is consistently with them Experiments are being done but they are not working. In the lower order, Stuff and Ashutosh Sharma are amazing finishers, but Ashutosh’s game awareness is the same. In the last match, Delhi lost the match. However, Ashutosh also won a match. He scored 66 runs. Stuff is also in good form.
Delhi Capitals Possible Changes & Tactical Moves:-
He scored good runs when needed. His average at this venue is 63. In the last match, Stuff scored a bit early and got out. If he had stayed till the end, the team might have won the match. Vipraaj is also there. He can score good runs here. He scored 39 here. He scored 14 runs here. He is seen hitting good shots. So their lower order is also quite good.
Ashutosh and Vipraaj are a bit inexperienced in this. Stuff is a very experienced player, but still, I would say that he is quite solid and they have a lower order that can turn a lost game into a win. If we talk about bowling, In the pace attack, Mitchell Starc bowled in a way that blew away form, taking three wickets and five wickets in the first few matches, but since the last two matches, he has been getting hit very badly, but brother, this is Mitchell Starc, he can come back in form anytime and I hope he comes back in this match, six wickets against RR, three wickets at this venue, he took three wickets in a match at this venue too, Mohit Sharma has also not looked consistent this year, he bowled well here, gave 10 runs in two overs, but got beaten in this match, got beaten here too, he bowled well in this match, got beaten here, so the concern of consistency has definitely been with Mohit, on top of that Mukesh Kumar is taking wickets, but with an economy of eight to nine, he is also giving away runs, so his form is not damaging that much, but Mohit’s form is damaging because he is a big match winner and his bowling in the death overs makes a lot of difference and he is proving to be expensive, in his place It is possible that T Nitrajan plays but think Axar Patel backs the players and will play Mohit. Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel are two amazing spinners.
Apart from that, Vipras Nigam has also proved himself by taking two wickets in back to back matches and bowls amazing leg break. Axar Patel is out of form. He has not got a wicket in the last five innings. But he has not let their absence be felt. He has taken wickets continuously along with Kuldeep Yadav.
Kuldeep Yadav is in amazing form, taking two-three wickets. He has taken 19 wickets at this venue. He has taken 11 wickets against RR. So, this time too a lot will depend on Kuldeep and Vipras and Axar Patel will also have to get into form as soon as possible. Whether you make runs with batting or not with bowling, you will have to perform. Axar Patel is doing very good captaincy.
Rajasthan Royals Possible Changes & Tactical Moves:-
About Rajasthan Royals, then Rajasthan Royals have not been able to make much noise this year, but still they have played very well. In the last match, they lost to RCB. They had made 173 runs in their own home. A decent total, but their bowlers could not defend it and a huge defeat of nine wickets in 17.3 overs.
Before this, they had registered a big win, they had made 205 against Punjab and defeated an in-form team like Punjab by 50 runs, but in the very next match, they got exposed, their bowling got exposed, so their bowling was quite exposed, 287 was made against them, we saw how everyone thrashed them, KKR chased 150 against them very quickly and easily, so many times their bowling has been exposed, there are big names in this team, Jofra Archer is bowling well, but proved a bit expensive in the last match, Tushar Deshmukh also got beaten, Sandeep Sharma also did not look that consistent, well, Sena Kumar Karthik and Rindhu Hasaranga, all the three spinners also proved to be quite expensive in the last match, only Kumar Karthikeya bowled decently and took one wicket, rest all proved expensive, so the bowling got exposed, Yashasvi Jaiswal did well in batting 75 and two batsmen in the middle order scored 30 plus.
Both are very experienced players. However, Delhi also has very experienced openers. They have Faf du Plessis, they have Abhishek Porel, they have Jack. Fazer Meger has also played many matches but he has not performed well this year but Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal have done well in some matches and both have been in good form 75 67 back to back 50s are coming from Yashasvi Jaiswal’s bat and Sanju Samson has also scored 41 38 one or two 50s this year so they have also played good innings both are in good form so as far as opening is concerned theirs is better 19 innings 513 at this venue 387 in 16 innings against Delhi but Jaiswal’s number is very bad against DC and at this venue also he has scored only 48 runs in three innings so chances of Jaiswal performing well are not that high he has also not been that consistent but you can keep an eye on Sanju Samson in the middle order Nitish Rana Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jewel Nitish Rana performed well in one match he scored 81 and then flopped Consistency is always a concern with them.
Final Prediction Factors:-
In the last match, their batting came very late, they hit only one four, so they do not appear that consistent. Riyan Parag appeared quite consistent, he is scoring 30, 35, 40 in every match, but he is also not able to play a big innings. So he is consistent, he is quite consistent but is not able to play a big innings, this is the problem.
Dhruvlal also did not appear consistent, 35, 33. Before that he had scored 70 plus, so he also did not appear that consistent. All three are quite explosive, but Riyan Parag is consistent and he is not able to play a big innings, so we are seeing a lot of problems in the middle order. About the lower order, Shimron Hetmyer has shown 52, 20 when needed, he has batted as per the need, but Hasranga is a batsman only in name, apart from him they use Shubham Dubey when needed, so their batting is not deep, all the batting is in opening It will depend on that, in the middle order, only one batsman seems to be consistent, he too is unable to play a big innings, Rihan Parul and your Dhruv Jajal are very talented but they too are not consistent and Rana, after scoring 81, has completely gone quiet.
The team has Jofra Archer, three wickets, one wicket, he has bowled well in many matches, he has also been thrashed in many matches, so consistency is a concern with Jofra as well, the day he gets thrashed, he gets thrashed a lot, he has taken seven wickets against Delhi, so it is a good number, he might bowl well, Tushar Deshmukh did take two wickets here, but he was thrashed a lot in this match and he is getting thrashed in every match, so this is a matter of concern.
On the third spot, Sir Sandeep Sharma is bowling very well, he is also taking wickets in between, but he too does not seem to be consistent, he is doing well in one match, then in the next match, he concedes runs at an economy of 10. We are getting beaten, we have taken 20 wickets in 18 innings against Delhi, so the bowling is good, there is a concern about consistency, their bowlers are not consistent, the spin is fine, they have Thiksen Hasaranga and Karthikeya, Karthikeya is bowling very well, he bowled well in the last match as well, he also took wickets, he bowls left arm orthodox, but the whole focus of spin will be on the two Sri Lankan spinners Thiksen and Hasaranga and both have bowled well many times this year, he took two wickets, two wickets, four wickets in one match, Hasaranga, so a lot will depend on these two, but after that they have also been beaten, they have also been beaten in between, so the whole team looks inconsistent, about the ground, 90 matches will be played at Arun Jaitley Stadium, the score is 175, 44 matches were defended and 46 matches were chased, so chase- defend does not make much difference, the ratio of 50-50 is 23 times 190 plus 22 times 170, 190, 23 times 150, 170 and 22 times a score below 150 has been made.
In the last six matches, a score of 200 plus has been made here, and see this, 205 was almost chased, three wickets, pacers, nine wickets, spinners, 208, this was also almost chased, eight wickets, pacers, four wickets, spinners here, 221, Mumbai, ah, in front of whom, Rajasthan won by 20 runs, seven wickets, pacers, seven wickets, spinners, 257, in the second innings, 247, here too, Delhi won, 10 wickets, pacers, two wickets, spinners. So, out of the last six matches, Delhi has won four matches and all six have been high scoring. Once again, we can expect a total of 200 plus. The spinners are doing very well in the middle overs.In 89 matches, 392 wickets have been taken by pacers, 270 wickets, so runs are being made a lot here, spinners are doing very good in the middle overs.
