In the 9th match of IPL 2024, RR Vs DC, Sanju Samson’s Rajasthan Royals are leading the winning cause, and Rishabh Pant is making his comeback to action for the Royals against the Delhi Capitals.
The Rajasthan Royals (RR) will face the Delhi Capitals (DC) in an IPL 2024 match at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals (RR) secured a 20-run win in their first match of the season against KL Rahul’s Lucknow Super Giants. Riyan Parag scored 43 off 29 balls, and the Royals captain, Sanju Samson, led with an unbeaten 82.
The Delhi Capitals (DC) are gearing up for their upcoming clash against Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Thursday. DC skipper Rishabh Pant, who returned to action after a 453-day hiatus due to a severe car accident, is in the spotlight as he returns to action. Pant’s characteristic stroke-playing and liveliness behind the stumps were evident during his short stay at the crease.
Meanwhile, DC’s opening game against Punjab Kings (PBKS) was unsuccessful, posting 174 runs in the first innings. Abhishek Porel, a 21-year-old gem, scored 32 off 10 balls, but the DC bowling unit couldn’t restrict PBKS, as the hosts won the game by four wickets.
