Rajasthan Royals will play at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday (May 7) in Match 56 of IPL 2024 against Delhi Capitals. While Rajasthan are placed second on the points table, with eight victories and two losses, Delhi are sixth on the chart, having won five in 11 attempts.
Before the two teams collide, let's take a look at the interesting matchups that can bring delight to fans.
Yashasvi Jaiswal Vs Mukesh Kumar
| Runs | Balls | Outs | Dots | Average | Strike Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 9 | 2 | 5 | 3.5 | 77.8 |
Jaiswal has struggled against Mukesh, as 7 runs off 9 balls, that too while losing his wicket two times in IPL, speak volumes. Hence, expect Pant to bring in Mukesh early to take advantage of this matchup. More specifically, Mukesh dismissed Jaiswal last year and this year as well and has conceded only a boundary against the swashbuckling opener.

Rishabh Pant Vs R Ashwin
| Runs | Balls | Outs | Dots | Average | Strike Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 39 | 36 | 0 | 10 | - | 108.3 |
Pant has always given respect to Ashwin, as the above-mentioned numbers suggest. Even though the veteran off-spinner is yet to dismiss Pant, the DC skipper's strike rate tells the actual story. However, given Pant's current exquisite form, don't be surprised if numbers change drastically overnight.
Sanju Samson Vs Anrich Nortje
| Runs | Balls | Outs | Dots | Average | Strike Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14 | 21 | 1 | 11 | 14 | 66.7 |
Surprising, isn't it? We all know Samson tends to thrash fast bowlers, but against Nortje, who has been dropped from Delhi's playing XI after lacklustre outings, it becomes a different ball game altogether. The RR captain has taken 21 balls to score 14 runs against Nortje, and also lost his wicket, which might tempt DC camp to bring the South African international back in the mix again.
