RR vs DC Fantasy Cricket Tips

Rajasthan Royals Heavy Fantasy XI

• If you are backing the Rajasthan Royals to win this game, then Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, and Shimron Hetmyer could be good picks. 
• Jos Buttler and Riyan Parag would be risk-worthy choices. Buttler has a lot of quality and can regain his form anytime. On the other hand, Riyan Parag looked good with the bat in the first match and thus can be a game-changer in fantasy contests. 
• Trent Boult was RR's pick of the bowlers in their first match. He picked up two wickets, and that form makes Boult a crucial choice for the match. 

Delhi Capitals Heavy Fantasy XI

• The Delhi Capitals' batting order looked fragile in the first match. However, Shai Hope showed remarkable resilience. Besides Hope, big names like David Warner and Mitchell Marsh will also be important choices. 
• Abhishek Porel proved his worth when he emerged as an impact player and played a fiery cameo in the last game. That knock might force the team management to keep him in the playing XI for this game. If he gets a go, then Porel could be a crucial choice for the fantasy contests. 
• Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel were the most efficient bowlers for the team in the previous game. These two players will once again be necessary for the Capitals.

RR vs DC Winner Prediction

Rajasthan Royals looked a good unit in the first game. On the other hand, the Capitals lacked depth in the bowling department. Given the teams' performances in the previous game, the Capitals should get their second victory. 

RR vs DC Top Player Picks

Sanju Samson (RR)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 82 Runs in 1 Match
• Sanju Samson looked good in the first game. He played an excellent knock, making him a prime-choice for the game again. 

Yashasvi Jaiswal (RR)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 24 Runs in 1 Match
• The Indian left-hander started nicely in the first match. Yashasvi Jaiswal looked in good touch but could not convert it into anything big. But he looked in good rhythm and hence could be a good choice for the fantasy contests of the match. 

David Warner coule be an important playe for DC [iplt20.com]

David Warner (DC)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 29 RUns in 1 Match
• The former Australian opener got a steady start in the previous game. David Warner failed to play an impactful knock in the match and will look to amend that in this game. The southpaw will be a crucial choice for the game. 

Kuldeep Yadav (DC)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 2 Wickets in 1 Match
• The Indian left-arm spinner looked brilliantly efficient in the first game. Kuldeep was not only economical but also contributed with a couple of wickets. He will be a prime choice for the fantasy contests of the match.

RR vs DC Differential Picks

Shimron Hetmyer (RR)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 5 Runs in 1 Match
• The West Indian left-handed batter failed to impress in the first match. However, Hetmyer has an aggressive batting style that can change the complexion of any game. Thus, he would be a great choice for fantasy contests. 

Rishabh Pant (DC)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 18 Runs in 1 Match
• The DC skipper looked off-colour in the first match as he returned to cricketing action after about 450 days. Rishabh Pant has proven himself a match-winner whenever he has had the rhythm with him. Thus, Pant's return to form might make him a game-changing choice for the match.
