IPL 2022, DC vs RR Live Updates: Delhi Capitals Stumble In Chase, Go 3 Wickets Down With Rishabh Pant In The Middle
IPL 2022, Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals Live IPL Score Updates: DC's hopes pinned to skipper Rishabh Pant after Prithvi Shaw departed for 37 runs.
Live IPL Score DC vs RR Live Cricket Score Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals: DC openers Prithvi Shaw and David Warner started well but RR roared back to remove Warner and Sarfaraz Khan in quick succession. Shaw and Pant then stitched on a decent partnership before RR struck again to remove Shaw. Earlier, Jos Buttler hit his third IPL century of the season as he piled on the misery on the DC bowlers with effortless stroke play to help RR post 222/2 in 20 overs. Buttler hit 9 sixes and 9 fours in his explosive innings and along with Devdutt Padikkal (54 runs) added 155 runs for the first wickets. After Buttler's wicket (116), skipper Sanju Samson gave a strong finish to the innings. The RR batter dominated the DC bowlers throughout  and took them to the cleaners after being asked to bat first by Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Friday in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. DC will desperately aim to register their second win on the trot and jump up the points table. RR, on the other hand, are placed third in the points table currently and will like to bag another crucial win. (LIVE SCORECARD)

The discussion was to be ready for both situations (batting/bowling first). We have done well but it is important to move on and then focus on the current game and give our best today. Same team for us.
