The Ajinkya Rahane led Rajasthan Royals have had somewhat a see-saw season this time.
They have won three out of their seven games and are at the sixth position. On the other hand, the time is ticking for Delhi as they have managed only two wins out of their eight matches and are at the last position in the table.
Where to watch:
The live coverage will start from 8:00 PM IST on the Star Sports HD with Hindi and English commentary and the online stream can be enjoyed on Hotstar.com. The live stream can also be watched on the Jio TV and the Airtel App.

Delhi Daredevils:
There were some good things from their loss against Chennai in the last match.
Colin Munro got a start, Rishabh Pant handled the game in the middle overs and Vijay Shankar finished well. Even though the bowling wasn't that good as a whole, they are likely to stick to the same line-up except one or two changes in the bowling unit.
We're back home for our second game against RR this season. What do you think skipper Shreyas Iyer should opt for if he wins the toss at the Kotla tonight? 🤔#DilDilli #Dhadkega #DDvRR pic.twitter.com/oSb0Rj5bW6

Rajasthan Royals:
They had a good chance in the last game against Hyderabad to get some points but they couldn't.
The team might again get a look over but Ish Sodhi impressed in the last game so they are expected to stick around with him for this game too. Rest of the XI might stay the same.

Pitch: The Kotla pitch might assist the spinners more than the fast bowlers.
It might be a bit slower, but if the batsman applies themselves well we might witness a high-scoring battle.
Weather: It will be a hot and humid in Delhi and no rain is expected in the evening.
