Players to watch out for in DC vs RR
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi
The teen batting sensation has been instrumental in getting his team off to blistering starts in the season so far. Sooryavanshi has been the leading run scorer for Rajasthan with 440 runs from 11 innings at an average of 40 and a strike rate of 236.55. He will enjoy playing on the batting paradise of the Arun Jaitley Stadium and will give a hard time to DC’s bowlers.
Mitchell Starc
The left-arm seamer scalped three wickets for 40 runs in his four overs in the previous fixture between the two teams. Starc will again hold the key to get DC off to a good start with the new ball against the dangerous opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sooryavanshi.
