The clash between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Delhi Capitals (DC) in the IPL 2024 promises to be an exciting encounter filled with high-quality cricket and intense competition.
The RR vs DC clash is scheduled to be played in Jaipur on March 28, this match marks the second home game for RR and the second consecutive away game for DC.
In their previous outings, RR secured a convincing 20-run win against Lucknow Super Giants, while DC faced a narrow defeat at the hands of Punjab Kings despite posting a competitive total of 175 runs.
As they prepare to face off in the upcoming match, let’s take a closer look at their head-to-head records in the IPL.
Rajasthan Royals:
RR kicked off their IPL 2024 campaign with a bang, posting an imposing total of 193 runs against LSG, thanks to a stellar knock from skipper Sanju Samson, who remained unbeaten on 82 runs.
Well supported by Riyan Parag’s timely 49 off 29 balls, RR’s batting lineup fired on all cylinders. Their bowling attack, led by Trent Boult and supported by Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal, displayed effectiveness in taking crucial wickets at key moments.
With a well-retained core, RR looks poised to maintain their winning momentum.
Delhi Capitals:
DC will receive a boost with the return of Anrich Nortje, who is set to make his comeback after a long injury lay-off.
With Nortje’s pace and experience, DC’s bowling unit gains strength, especially considering his impressive performance of 10 wickets in 10 matches last year.
Additionally, Rishabh Pant’s milestone 100th game for DC adds a special dimension to this match.
While DC’s Indian pace bowling unit may lack experience, the presence of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel forms a reliable spin core, crucial for containing RR’s formidable batting lineup.

In the 27 matches played between RR and DC so far, Rajasthan Royals have emerged victorious on 14 occasions, while Delhi Capitals have secured 13 wins.
