IPL 2023 Match 11, RR vs DC Stats Preview: Players records and approaching milestones

Sanju Samson’s Rajasthan Royals (RR) and David Warner’s Delhi Capitals (DC) will meet in Match 11 of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) on a doubleheader on April 08 at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. 

The inaugural champions RR have played two games in the tournament so far with one victory and one loss. They began their campaign in style by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by a big margin of 72 runs in Hyderabad. Though, they suffered a defeat at the hands of Punjab Kings (PBKS) by a five-run margin in their next encounter in Guwahati. With two points and a net run rate of +1.675, RR is placed in the fourth position in the points table.

The team might have to enter their field without their talismanic batter Jos Butter, who injured his finger in the last outing. He required stitches and may well miss out on this fixture with his countryman Joe Root in line to replace him.

On the other hand, DC has made a poor start in IPL 2023 so far as they have played two matches and lost both of them. The team faced a loss against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 50 runs in Lucknow before losing out to defending champions Gujarat Titans by six wickets in Delhi. After two defeats, the Capitals will look to get off the mark by claiming their first victory of the season against RR.
