It will be a fascinating contest between bat and ball when two of the strong contenders to win IPL 2024 - Delhi Capitals (DC) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) - meet in the competition tonight in Jaipur. While RR won their opening game of the season, DC got beaten and will be looking to collect their first points today. All eyes will, once again, be on DC skipper Rishabh Pant who showed glimpses of his brilliance in the first match. He was seen hitting some big sixes in the nets, a day before. DC coach Ricky Ponting would be happier if these sixes come against RR and help the team win their first match of IPL 2024.

Pant should be in your fantasy team. He can even be your captain or vice-captain because of his multi-dimensional skills. The other contender to make captain is Yashasvi Jaiswal. David Warner should be there too. Take a risk with Riyan Parag. He is hungry for runs and eager to prove a point. Plus, Assam-born batter is batting higher up the order this season for RR, at number 4. That gives him more deliveries to prove his worth as a T20 batter.
Trent Boult and Kuldeep Yadav are must haves in your team. Mitchell Marsh can be a game-changer for DC in this match. Axar Patel, R Ashwin and Jos Buttler are also great choices. Shimron Hetmyer could be a tricky but rewarding pick. However, after doing your homework, finalise the team only after the toss to know if there is no a last-minute changes or injuries.
Anrich Nortje has joined DC camp but there is no surety of him playing this match straightaway. Ishant Sharma and Mukesh Kumar are fit to play this match and available for selection while there are no injury concerns, as of now, in RR camp.
