IPL 2021, RR vs DC Team Predicted Playing 11 Today Match, Live Cricket Score Updates: Rajasthan Royals take on Delhi Capitals without Ben Stokes at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday.
IPL 2021, RR vs DC Team Predicted Playing 11 for Today Match LIVE Updates: Rajasthan Royals would hope for another inspirational knock from new skipper Sanju Samson when it faces a confident Delhi Capitals in an IPL match on Thursday.
RR was dealt a severe blow when Ben Stokes was ruled out of the remainder of the tournament with a broken finger. He sustained that injury during the agonising defeat. In his absence, the pressure would be on the likes of Jos Buttler, Shivam Dube and Riyan Parag to deliver the goods and provide ample support to their young skipper, who has been sensational in the first match. The likes of Manan Vohra (12), Buttler (25) Dube (23), Parag (25) all got starts but failed to lend the much-needed support to Samson. Barring young Chetan Sakariya (3/31), who had a fantastic debut, all other RR bowlers went for runs.
For DC, Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw made a short walk of the target with a 138-run opening partnership, that laid the foundation for the win. On the bowling front, Chris Woakes (2/18) and Avesh Khan (2/23) had a good outing in the first game and would look to carry on their form but the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin, Tom Curran, Amit Mishra and Stoinis had a forgettable outing and would be desperate to make amends on Thursday.
