Three match-winners for Rajasthan Royals
Jos Buttler
The English top-order batter is having a hot and cold season in IPL 2024. Though Jos Buttler has played a couple of match-winning knocks, he has not consistently gotten the big scores. In this tournament edition, Buttler scored 319 runs at a strike rate of 149.76 and an average of 45.57. While the numbers are impressive, the runs have not been consistent.
However, Jos Buttler has a good record against the Delhi Capitals at Arun Jaitley Stadium. In seven innings, he has scored 250 runs at a strike rate of 149.70 and an average of 35.70. Thus, the numbers suggest that Buttler might have a good time in the match and regain his batting form.
Riyan Parag
The young Indian batter has been the mainstay of the RR middle order in IPL 2024. Riyan Parag has scored runs under pressure and has done it consistently. He has 409 runs under his belt in IPL 2024 from 10 innings at an average and a strike rate of 58.42 and 159.14, respectively.
Riyan Parag's performances have played a massive role in RR's solid performance this season. This season, Parag played an excellent hand of 84 runs from 45 deliveries in the previous outing against the Capitals. Also, in his only IPL match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in 2019, Parag played a resilient knock of 50 runs from 49 deliveries when the other RR batters failed to deliver. The records and the current form indicate that Parag could be a match-winner for his team in this game.
Trent Boult
The Kiwi pacer has done a decent job with the ball in the tournament. However, barring an outstanding spell against the Mumbai Indians, wickets have been missing in Trent Boult's spells. The fact that Boult has picked up 14 wickets in 10 matches against DC while conceding runs at an economy of 7.57 will encourage the RR management and the fans ahead of this game. He can trouble the DC openers with the new ball and bowl a match-winning spell for his team.
