Delhi Capitals will take on Rajasthan Royals in a must-win game for the Rishabh Pant-led side in match 56 of the Indian Premier League. After a bad start to the season, the Capitals have made a valiant comeback to form and won five games so far.
Rajasthan Royals who have played blemish-free cricket so far lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last match by 1 run. On Sunday their number 1 spot was usurped by Kolkata Knight Riders after Shreyas Iyer’s side beat Lucknow Super Giants by 98 runs.
