Players to watch out for in RR vs DC
Yashasvi Jaiswal
The opening batter has been in fine form in the ongoing season, having scored 306 runs from nine innings at an average of 43.71 with three fifties to his name. However, Jaiswal is due for a big knock, and the Delhi Capitals’ bowling attack will have to be at their best to stop his mayhem in the upcoming game.
Mukesh Kumar
The right-arm seamer started the season well as he was regularly amongst the wickets during the first few matches. However, Kumar’s performances have only gone downhill with the pitches in the ongoing season, heavily favouring batters. With Lungi Ngidi injured, DC desperately need Kumar to step up and fill the void.
