Info:
- Sanju Samson’s century was the first ever from a captain in their first IPL game as leader. However, he could do with some help from another batsman or two in this game. Of the eight batsmen who came to the crease against Punjab Kings, Samson was the only one to go beyond 25. With the ball, they struggled to control the top four batsmen of Punjab Kings, eight bowlers were used going at between 7.00 and 20.00 runs per over.
- Delhi Capitals’ victory was built on a dream opening partnership from Shikhar Dhawan (85) and Prithvi Shaw (72), together they put on 138 inside 14 overs for the first wicket. They also had bowlers Chris Woakes and Avesh Khan to thank for sending down 7 overs at a cost of 6 runs an over and less. The entire bowling attack was very successful against CSK, only Sam Curran was able to truly take the bowling apart.
- Delhi Capitals also have South African pace bowlers in Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada available. They both missed the opening fixtures due to the overlap with the second ODI against Pakistan due to which they arrived late in India.

Team NEWS:
Rajasthan Team News:
Ben Stokes is a huge loss and it will be very interesting to see who they select to replace him and if it will require a reshuffle of the batting order. After also losing Jofra Archer before the season began, they are far from full strength at this point.
Delhi Team News:
Bowlers Chris Woakes and Avesh Khan bowled brilliantly against CSK and their options will be boosted by Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje ending their isolation period. However, it was their batsmen who proved to be the real difference with Shaw and Dhawan leading the way before captain Rishabh Pant completed the task.

RR Key Players:
Chetan Sakariya:
The left-arm bowler had an impressive IPL debut on Monday taking the wickets of KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal and Jhye Richardson. His economy rate was the best of all the bowlers who sent down 4 overs.
Jos Buttler:
England’s wicketkeeper looked in good form with a 13-ball 25 before falling victim to an expertly executed slower ball yorker from Jhye Richardson. Without Stokes the pressure increases on Buttler.

Sanju Samson:
After averaging only 28.84 over 14 IPL games last year, the new captain is suddenly the form batsman for Rajasthan Royals after his impressive century against Punjab Kings in IPL 2021. There is also the option to move him to the top of the order and have him as wicket keeper, opener and skipper.

DC Key Players:
Shikhar Dhawan:
The left-handed international opener averaged 44.14 in last year’s IPL and looks set to build on that in this year's competition after his player of the match 85 in the first game. If he and Shaw can produce another century opening partnership then they will be unstoppable.
Rishabh Pant:
CSK knew they were in trouble when Rishabh Pant was still eagerly waiting to bat at the start of the 14th over. He actually batted with restraint in the first game but don’t expect this to be his new modus operandi.

Chris Woakes:
England’s all-rounder hadn’t played a game since last August but returned with impressive figures of 2-18 from 3 overs. Understated and at times underrated, he will also deliver with the bat during this tournament.
Team Forms:
RR Team Form:
Rajasthan Royals need to get their season moving at the earliest opportunity but everything is seeming to go against them at the moment. If Sanju Samson can keep up his hitting from the first game then they will have a chance.
DC Team Form:
After finishing 3rd in 2019 and 2nd in 2020, Delhi Capitals would surely have become IPL champions by now if it weren’t for Mumbai Indians. They are a consistent team and looked very strong against CSK.
