The big foreign names in both sides have underperformed and the fielding has been dismal.

Toss

Ajinkya Rahane opts to chase on this Delhi wicket. D’Arcy Short and Shreyas Gopal come in for Rajasthan Royals.

One change for Delhi Daredevils: Shahbaz Nadeem brought in in place of Rahul Tewatia.

Preview

Coming off agonising losses in close games, desperate to stay in the race for the play-offs and failing to find the winning formula, Delhi Daredevils will hope to lift itself out of the bottom position when it hosts fellow strugglers Rajasthan Royals here on Wednesday.

It is a familiar but not comfortable position for DD across the past 10 editions. A change of personnel both in the middle and the dugout hasn’t really made much of a difference. The batting has been inconsistent, and the bowling — barring Trent Boult — fumbling.
