DC vs RR Match Preview, IPL 2025 – Match 29

Delhi Capitals (DC) Preview

Delhi are coming off a defeat to MI in a game where the middle order collapsed. They’ll be desperate to regroup and stay in playoff contention.

Strengths & Concerns:

  • Top Order Revival: Karun Nair’s return to form with a blazing half-century vs MI gives DC a boost.

  • KL Rahul’s Flexibility: Whether opening or in the middle order, Rahul’s role will be key.

  • Bowling Strength: Kuldeep Yadav continues to strike regularly; Mitchell Starc has to deliver with the new ball.

Concern: Starc and Chameera’s lack of early breakthroughs is hurting DC’s power play control.

DC Predicted Playing XI:

KL Rahul (wk), Jake Fraser-McGurk, Abishek Porel, Karun Nair, Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel (c), Sameer Rizvi, Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar, Mohit Sharma

Impact Player: Faf du Plessis / T Natarajan


Rajasthan Royals (RR) Preview

RR are trying to find the right balance. They’ve shown flashes of brilliance but lacked consistency in key moments.

Strengths & Concerns:

  • In-Form Samson: Sanju has been leading from the front and will be vital against DC’s spinners.

  • Jofra Archer’s Return: Though expensive vs RCB, his pace can trouble the DC top order.

  • Spinners in Form: Theekshana and Hasaranga can tie up the middle overs.

Concern: Jaiswal’s form at the top is inconsistent, and RR’s lower middle order hasn’t stepped up when needed.

RR Predicted Playing XI:

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, Jofra Archer, Sandeep Sharma, Kumar Kartikeya, Tushar Deshpande

Impact Player: Nitish Rana / Akash Madhwal
