Most likely XIIs

Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohit Sharma, Mukesh Kumar, Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel (C), Karun Nair, Abishek Porel, KL Rahul (wk), and Jake Fraser-McGurk of the Delhi Capitals

Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Nitish Rana, Wanindu Hasaranga, Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana, Sandeep Sharma, Tushar Deshpande, Kumar Kartikeya, Sanju Samson (C, wk), Riyan Parag, and Yashasvi Jaiswal are the Rajasthan Royals.

Will RR be able to turn around their struggling season?

They have only four points after six games after losing their first two, winning two, and now losing two more. If they thought it could get much simpler, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) will now play the Delhi Capitals (DC), who are in second place and appear to have most bases covered, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Without batting depth, RR’s middle overs have lacked bite, and their top order has been found wanting. In the IPL 2025, RR has the second-best powerplay run rate (9.72), behind Punjab Kings. However, in the middle overs, their run rate decreases to 7.86, the second-worst, behind Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

RR will have to face DC head-on at that point. The hosts have one of the most effective middle-overs bowlers in Kuldeep Yadav. During this phase, Kuldeep has bowled 18 overs at an economy rate of just 5.94, taking nine wickets, which is second only to Noor Ahmad.

(Ultimate Face-Off)

RR is in dire need of its patchy batting to improve on a level field. Nitish Rana has only had one noteworthy innings, Riyan Parag has been inconsistent, Sanju Samson has only reached fifty, and Shimron Hetmyer’s debut has generated some discussion. The only player who appears to have found some consistency is Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has scored two fifties in his previous three outings. The remaining members of RR‘s potent batting unit must fire.
