RR vs DC Head to Head Records in IPL- IPL 2024, Match 9

Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Delhi Capitals (DC) go head to head in match 9 of IPL 2024 at the Sawai Mansingh stadium in Jaipur on Thursday, March 28. This is the second league game for the two respective teams. The match starts at 7.30 pm IST. 

This is RR’s second straight home game and the second straight away game for DC. After CSK, RR has been the best team to maintain a good record against the opposition at home. After a big win over LSG, they will be aiming for back-to-back wins in the season. 

DC will have their work cut out against Rajasthan Royals. They began their campaign with a loss against Punjab Kings and will be looking to get back to winning ways. DC have played 27 games against the Royals winning 13 of them. The Royals have won 14. Thus the head-to-head contest is pretty even. 

The next match will be the 100th for Rishabh Pant who made a return to IPL 2024. He was also announced as the skipper of the franchise. He scored 18 off 13 balls on his return and is auditioning for the specialist wicketkeeper-batter’s role for the upcoming T20 World Cup. In a big boost for the Delhi Capitals, Protean pacer Anrich Nortje has joined the Capitals squad ahead of their game against the Royals and is available for selection.

Sanju Samson began his campaign with an unbeaten 82 off 52 balls against LSG. He has been a prolific run-getter in the IPL but has not been able to convert that form into international cricket. He is also in the race for getting selected in the T20 World Cup squad for the specialist wicketkeeper-batter’s role.
