That's it from the coverage of this game but you can tune-in to our live coverage of MI-CSK game - The El-Clasico of the IPL and enjoy that game....Till then, it's goodbye from my side, this is Aashay Chopade from OneCricket signing off...
Rajasthan Royals win by 57 runs!!!!
Delhi Capitals were really never looked like a team that could challenge RR in this game. Jaiswal smashed 20 runs in the Powerplay and both the openers smashed fifties along with Hettie delivering his finishing touches yet again to post a big total of 199 on the board.
Trent Boult then came up with a double-wicket maiden opening over and DC just could not recover from after that blow. Warner played yet another anchor innings but never threatened to take on the chase and they fell short by a huge margin, their third loss in as many games.
That's it, a big victory for Rajasthan Royals at their second home ground!!They dominated the game right from the onset and have notched up a 57-run win here over the David Warner-led DC unit.
KNOCKED HIM OVER! Sandeep Sharma knocks over Nortje with a lovely slower delivery and RR are just one wicket away now...
Warner has been given LBW here! Can he survive again? No, this time he has to walk back and a gritty knock from the DC skipper comes to an end. Yuzi boyyy gets another wicket and RR are just two wickets or one over away from registering a big win here...
DAVID WARNER SURVIVES!!!! It's a NO BALL! Extra fielder outside the 30-yard circle for RR! It is a lucky break for DC but not sure it is gonna win this game now. Actually, Jaiswal took the catch but he was standing just outside the 30-yard circle in the cover region and that means that Warner will continue batting...71 needed off 18 balls!
DC need 82 off 24 balls and RR have decided to give their Impact Player - Murugan Ashwin a go finally...
The young talented Abishek Porel is into the middle...
Here comes the final nail in the coffin...Powell departs in his bid to clear the fence! Ravi Ashwin with his second wicket and it looks like DC would be ending up on a losing side yet again tonight. Samson has got his bowling changes spot on and really DC have never been in this chase..
David Warner gets to his fifty, but is this strike rate enough? Sadly, it is NOT!!
87 needed now from 30 balls...Can Warner and Powell pull off a heist here?
OUT!!! STUMPED!!!! Beautifully bowled, Chahal outfoxes Axar Patel and RR are all over DC now!!! Chahal cleverly drags his length back and bowls it outside off as he sees Patel charging down the track. Beats Axar's wild heave across the line and Samson behind the stumps does the rest....
Axar Patel walks out to the middle and surprisingly they are still saving Powell with the required rate climbing up. Let's hope it does not get too late for DC...99 needed now from 39 balls
BOWLED!! Oh, my word!!!! Just when Lalit Yadav was bringing some parity into the game, Boult strikes and knocks over Lalit Yadav... Lalit made some room and tries to heave it towards the leg side but Boult is too good to allow that against him and gets his third wicket of the game!
Here is the piece on Warner's fantastic milestone. He has become the first overseas player to reach 6000 IPL runs and have a look at the piece below to dive into more details of Warner's greatness in the Indian Premier League
Lalit Yadav has started to get going now, Warner at the other end also needs to up the ante as their are power-hitters like Powell, Axar Patel to follow...
DC are once again going nowhere with their chase..They need 139 off 66 balls and need someone to play a blinder to take them over the line in this game.
David Warner hits a boundary and crosses 6000 runs in the IPL! What an achievement from Warner, he has been the most successful overseas batter in the history of the IPL and after scoring tons of runs for SRH in the previous decade, he is now delivering for DC too. Third player in IPL history to get to 6000 IPL runs
Murugan Ashwin comes in as an Impact Player for RR in place of Jos Buttler - The Orange Cap holder now. Let's have a look at his knock today...
Yuzi boyyy is into the attack now...
DC are 37/3 at the end of the Powerplay...Lalit Yadav is in the middle now with Warner
OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust and Rossouw fails to impress again. DC lose their third inside the Powerplay and they are in all sorts of trouble now. Ashwin gets the wicket and that too of a left-hander again. Rossouw plays a reverse-sweep but hits it right of the cover fielder uppishly and Jaiswal takes a good catch to send Rossouw packing.
Jason Holder is into the attack now....
It is upto the southpaw pair of Warner and Rossouw to take this chase deep. As of now, they are in deep trouble with just 21 on the board after 4 overs with two wickets down.
A double wicket-maiden from Trent Boult to start....
Here is the Hat-Trick Ball....Rilee Rossouw to face it...Oh, lovely delivery! Just misses the outside edge of Rossouw's blade. Lands it on a good length and around off. Gets it to shape away and beats the outside edge of the blade.
It seems that Manish Pandey also has to make his way back. He has been given LBW here and looks plumb as he takes the DRS...AND IT IS THREE REDS!!!! Boult gets two in two and he is on a hat-trick here! Perfect in-swinger this to the right-hander and Pandey fails to get his bat down in time and gets rapped up on the pads.
What a catch by SANJU SAMSON!!!!!!! The Flying captain takes a blinder...Prithvi Shaw fails to make any impact again and walks back for a bronze duck - A 3-ball duck and Boult with an early wicket again. Angles this one across Shaw and he tries to drive it away. He only manages to catch the outside edge and Samson behind the stumps flies to his right to send back Shaw for a yet another duck.
We are back for the chase...Prithvi Shaw is ready to open the innings alongside David Warner. Shaw has been brought in as an Impact Player for Khaleel Ahmed! Trent Boult is ready to start with the ball....
Rajasthan Royals finish with 199/4 at the end of their 20 overs!!
RR falls just short of 200 as Nortje delivers a dot on the last delivery! A spectacular batting performance from RR though as their openers started off with a bang and stitched together a 98-run stand in just 51 balls. They did stutter after that for a bit with DC bowlers making a good comeback by taking wickets at regular intervals. However, Hetmyer, their finisher made sure that they get end on a bright note with a brilliant cameo of 39 off 21 balls.
Jos Buttler was the highest run-scorer with 79 off 51 balls while his dashing opening partner, Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed 60 off just 31 balls. Mukesh Kumar was the pick of the bowlers for DC with two wickets and it is upto their batters now to chase down this total if they want to notch up their first win of this season.
An exciting run-chase coming up...
Four balls to go...The score is 190 for RR
Dhruv Jurel gets going straightaway...what a hit by the youngster, a maximum to start!
CAUGHT!Oh, Buttler is gone and this could make a difference of 15-20 runs to the final score. It is Mukesh Kumar who strikes again for his team and gets rid of the dangerous Buttler. Bowls a yorker, Buttler digs it out back to Mukesh and after a review for the bump ball, the decision is that it has come directly off the bat into the hands of Mukesh Kumar.
Buttler races to 79 and RR are 168-3 at the end of 18 overs....32 to get in last two overs to reach 200! Hettie alongside Buttler, anything is possible
Hetmyer hits one over the fence and follows it up with another boundary. It is 150 up for RR... Can they reach 200 from here? 20 balls remaining...
Jos Buttler is still there for RR and we all know he has the knack of scoring big hundreds once he gets going... He is batting on 68 now off 45 balls
Shimron Hetmyer walks into the middle...
PIN DROP SILENCE IN THE CROWD - THE HOMEBOY DEPARTS FOR JUST 7 OFF 11! Rovman Powell cleans him up.... Riyan Parag goes for a wild hoick across the line but misses it completely and it is another failure for Parag. He had the chance to impress today with lot of overs left, but he fails to deliver again.
Rovman Powell is into the attack....
Rajasthan Royals are 122/2 after 13 overs
Now, Jos Buttler gets to his fifty...from 32 balls. It's just amazing how consistent this man is, given the aggressive nature of his batting. He gets to half-century with an effortless stroke over the fence. Axar drags it short and Buttler rocks back to pull it over deep mid-wicket into the hands of passionate crowd assembled at Barsapara...
Here are highlights of some breathtaking shots by Yashasvi Jaiswal in the Powerplay...
Riyan Parag - The homeboy walks out to bat now....
Oh, Sanju departs for a 4-ball Duck!!! He holes out at long on in a bid to get going with a maximum. Kuldeep Yadav strikes and DC are making their way back into this game. This one was nicely tossed up by Kuldeep and Samson went for a big slog but fails to get the desired distance. Not Sanju's day today but they have lot of arsenal left in the tank, still.
Brace yourself, Sanju Samson is in the house!!
OUT!!!!!!Mukesh Kumar Strikes!!!! That's a much-needed relief for DC and the dangerous Yashasvi Jaiswal departs for a well-made 60 off just 31 balls. Oh boy, how badly DC needed this! Mukesh bowls a short delivery on middle and Jaiswal who charges down the pitch gets hurried while trying to play a pull shot. Mukesh Kumar himself takes a catch and now DC would be looking to get back in this game with couple of quick wickets.
And...It is FIFTY for Yashasvi Jaiswal!!!!!! What a player this young man is! He has scored loads of runs in domestic cricket over the last year or so and now has come out here with an absolutely fearless attitude and has started with bang. Second fifty in three games. He gets his half-century with a bounday as well. A shortish delivery on middle and Jaiswal just times his punch beautifully to hit in the gap between long on and deep mid-wicket. Perfect placement from the RR opener...
That's it from the Powerplay! A entertaining one as RR have smashed 68 runs with both Buttler and Jaiswal looking in fantastic touch.
Axar Patel is into the attack. Can Spin bring some respite for DC? The answer is big 'NOOOO'. Axar gets smashed for 13 runs in the over. Yashasvi Jaiswal is on Fire!!!
Ohh....Nortje spills a difficult chance of Buttler - Nortje is not happy with himself as he knows, Buttler can hurt them badly here
Anrich Nortje with his Rapid Bullets now..... He goes for 12 runs as well and it is Joss -The Boss who unveils his might in the second over!
Jaiswal starts off with a BANG!!!! Smashes 20 runs in the very first over! Five boundaries and Khaleel has been left clueless, fantastic stuff from the young man.
Here is the dynamic opening pair of Rajasthan Royals - Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal are in the middle. The Delhi players are also in the middle with Khaleel Ahmed starting the proceedings with the ball. Here we go....
There are some interesting changes in both the sides and we can expect a pretty high-scoring encounter as the pitch here in Barsapara Stadium.

Thus far in the competition, both teams have had different journeys. David Warner's Delhi have bagged two successive losses in the tournament, while the Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan have looked pretty strong but failed to cross the line against Punjab Kings and would be looking to get back to winning ways in this game. I am Aashay Chopade and I will be bringing you all the action from this game.
