RR vs DC IPL 2024: Who Won The Toss? Here’s All You Need To Know

The Delhi Capitals’ captain Rishabh Pant won the coin toss and opted to field first against the Rajasthan Royals in the ninth match of the IPL. The Rajasthan Royals, led by Sanju Samson, are hosting the Delhi Capitals, led by Rishabh Pant, at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur for their second match in the Indian Premier League 2024 on March 28.

Playing at home, Sanju Samson’s Rajasthan Royals will be looking to continue their winning momentum against the Delhi Capitals on Thursday. The Royals had convincingly beaten the Lucknow Super Giants in their opening match on March 24 and are currently second on the IPL points table.

On the other hand, the Delhi Capitals led by Rishabh Pant failed to find their rhythm in their first match against the Punjab Kings and were eventually defeated by 6 wickets. Skipper Rishabh Pant, who is returning to professional cricket after almost 1 and a half years, will be eager to score some runs for his name and guide his team towards a win in Jaipur.

The Rajasthan Royals, meanwhile, will have the chance to sustain their winning run against the Delhi Capitals and possibly climb to the top of the IPL points table, displacing the Chennai Super Kings from their position. Skipper Sanju Samson, who scored 82 runs in the only match so far, will also look to overtake Heinrich Klaasen on the list of top run scorers and get his hands on the coveted Orange Cap.

Rajasthan Royals had a near flawless performance in their first match against Lucknow Super Giants, emerging as early favorites for the title. The team looks well-settled with plenty of strong options on the bench. On paper, they have exceptional strength and will be confident of securing a second consecutive home win.

While the ball kept low at times in the second innings of their first match, the surface was largely easy to bat on throughout. Despite being the first evening game in Jaipur this season, dew is not expected to be a major factor this early in the tournament. The pitch has shown signs of being tricky and players may need to adjust on the fly.
