The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium traditionally used to be slower and difficult to bat on but in the last two seasons that trend has been changed. The pitch is now more favourable to batters and the matches are high octane intense thrillers with lots of runs on board. So expect yet another high scoring encounters between the two sides.
Delhi Capitals and the Rajasthan Royals have faced each other 29 times in the history of IPL and the Rajasthan Royals have the upper hand in the rivalry by the barest of margins. Delhi Capitals have won 14 matches while, Rajasthan Royals have won 15 of those 29 matches.

KL Rahul
KL Rahul has shown some great form in this season’s IPL as he has consistently performed for his new side Delhi Capitals and led them to some crucial wins. KL Rahul is scoring at an average of 66 and has 200 runs in four matches. Hence, he should be one of the first names on a Dream 11 team regarding Delhi.
Kuldeep Yadav
Just like KL Rahul, Kuldeep Yadav should also be one of the top picks for a team with Delhi Capitals as he is a great wicket taking option with an excellent economy rate. He has picked up 10 wickets hence he is a great player to have in your squad.
The Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson has once again been the franchise’s best batter in Tata IPL 2025 with 193 runs to his name in five matches at a strike rate of 150.45. In a team that is low on confidence, Sanju Samson has led from front and has a high score of 66.
Wanindu Hassaranga
The Sri Lankan leggie Wanindu Hassaranga is once again in sublime form this IPL having picked up 6 wickets in just four matches at an economy of just 9.55. His best figures are 4/35 and given the deck at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur is a slow one it should assist Hassaranga.
Sandeep Sharma
Rajasthan Royals pacer Sandeep Sharma has been one of the best pacers for them in the tournament and has often proved to be a sure short wicket taker. He’s not an expensive pick when it comes to Dream 11 and could provide some much valuable points.
Vipraj Nigam
Vipraj Nigam has been a sensation for Delhi in Tata IPL 2025 as he has picked up seven wickets alongside scoring some explosive knocks lower down the order for the Delhi Capitals. His all round ability and nack of scoring runs make him a great budget option.
While, Tushar Deshpande does make it to the RR starting lineup the player is woefully out of form and is getting tonked by batters left right and centre in this edition of IPL. Picking him would be a huge risk given it can negatively impact your team.
While, Jake Fraser McGurk can be an appealing option for a lot of people given his exploits in last season’s IPL, this year however JFM has been woefully out of form and has failed to make any significant impact on Delhi Capital’s batting this season. Hence he is a player you should avoid.
