Rajasthan Royals, fresh off a win in their opening match, will look to continue their good form when they lock horns against Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on Thursday, March 28. Both teams have had contrasting starts to the tournament. Rajasthan Royals were clinical in all departments of the game and were able to outclass the Lucknow Super Giants pretty easily by 20 runs in the end. Skipper Sanju Samson led the way with the bat in hand, smashing 82 from 52 deliveries, which helped Rajasthan set a big score as target. Youngster Riyan Parag, who has been backed by the franchise for a number of years now, also repaid the faith with an explosive 43 off 29 balls. The bowlers, especially the opening combination of Trent Boult and Nandre Burger, who picked early wickets and never allowed the opposition to bounce back. ‘Khelte Raho Yaar’ Ravi Ashwin Motivates Rishabh Pant As He Bats During Training Session Ahead of RR vs DC IPL 2024 Match (Watch Video).

For Delhi Capitals, the story has been different. A cameo from 'Impact Player' Abishek Porel saw the team post a challenging total but a below-par bowling performance coupled with a dropped chance when the game was heading towards a nervous finish saw them fall short of the finish line. A big positive for them has been the return of Rishabh Pant, who has battled injuries from a devastating car accident and made a return to competitive cricket after more than a year. His return with the bat was short-lived, as he scored 18 runs off 13 balls but fans were surely delighted to see him back on the cricket field again. Trent Boult Breaks Devdutt Padikkal’s Helmet With Fiery Bouncer, Dismisses Him Next Ball During RR vs LSG IPL 2024 Match (Watch Videos).
