Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals Match Details
When Rajasthan Royals face off against Delhi Capitals at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on 15 April, both teams will be playing their respective second game of the IPL 2021. While Delhi Capitals played their first match against Chennai Super Kings on 10 April, Rajasthan Royals had their first match against Punjab Kings scheduled for 12 April.
We gave our opening spots to Dhawan and Shaw whose century partnership against CSK gave us a glimpse of their form. Miller, one of DC’s most expensive buys at the auction, was our choice for the third batting spot.
Stokes and Stoinis were automatic choices for the all-rounder spots. Chris Woakes earned the third spot with his good showing against CSK.
The bowling spots were made tougher by the absence of Jofra Archer in the RR eleven. As we can pick a maximum of 7 players from any side, we had to choose at least 4 from RR. Andrew Tye is likely to be the overseas bowling option who could replace Archer in RR’s eleven and he was our first choice. With Stokes and Miller already in our dream 11, that left us one more RR player to pick. We opted for old warhorse Unadkat. Avesh Khan was a surprise packet for DC in the way he performed against CSK. Considering his usefulness with the bat as value addition, we chose R Ashwin for the remaining bowling spot.
Pant was our automatic choice for captain, while Stokes with his all-round value earned the vice-captaincy in our dream 11.
Our RR vs DC Dream11 prediction is as follows: Dhawan, Shaw, Pant (c), Stokes (v-c), Stoinis, Miller, Woakes, Tye, R Ashwin, Unadkat, Avesh Khan.
