Playing XIs
Delhi Capitals: Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer (c), Rishabh Pant (w), Colin Ingram, Sherfane Rutherford, Keemo Paul, Axar Patel, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma, Trent Boult
Rajasthan Royals: Sanju Samson (w), Liam Livingstone, Ajinkya Rahane (c), Riyan Parag, Stuart Binny, Mahipal Lomror, Krishnappa Gowtham, Shreyas Gopal, Ish Sodhi, Varun Aaron, Oshane Thomas
TEAM CHANGES: RR make two changes as Sodhi and Gowtham are in for Smith and Unadkat and same with the Delhi side as Keemo and Ishant replace Suchith and Morris in the XI.
CAPTAIN'S TAKE
We will bat first. The wicket looks dry, not sure how it will play, might get slower and slower, will look to put the runs on the board. For me, the team comes first, I respect their decisions, it's a great challenge and it's important to play well and win. We have a couple of changes, Ish Sodhi and Krishnappa Gowtham are in, for Smith and Unadkat. It's all about giving our best - Ajinkya Rahane
It's an important game for us, we need to have a mindset of playing every game as a knock-out match, we are in a good mood as a team. Our batsmen love to bat on good bouncy wickets, this been a slow wicket - we didn't expect it, but we can't blame the wickets for our poor show here. Two changes for us, Keemo and Ishant are in, they replace Suchith and Chris Morris - Shreyas Iyer
TOSS: Rajasthan Royals skipper Ajinkya Rahane wins toss, opts to bat against Delhi Capitals
Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the Match 53 of the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in Delhi.
PREVIEW
Their playoff berth sealed, Delhi Capitals will aim for a big win against Rajasthan Royals to enhance their chances for a second-place finish when the two teams clash in their final IPL league match.
With Steve Smith having departed home for World Cup preparations, Ajinkya Rahane will return to captaincy duties.
A big win will not only will boost Delhi's morale after the 80-run hammering at the hands of CSK but it could also propel the side to the second position in the eight-team standings.
Delhi are currently sitting third with 16 points from 13 games, just behind Mumbai Indians (16 points) and table toppers CSK (18 points).
A win against Rajasthan will enhance Delhi's chances of featuring in Qualifier 1, giving them two shots at the May 12 final.
In the absence of Kagiso Rabada, Delhi's bowling attack looked miserable, but it is the shoddy performance of the batting unit which would be a cause of concern for skipper Shreyas Iyer.
Rajasthan, on the other hand, are mathematically still alive in the tournament with 11 points from 13 games.
They need to win against Delhi and hope for favourable results from other remaining games to secure a playoff berth as the fourth team.
