Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals Dream11 Team Prediction, Match Preview, Fantasy Cricket Hints: Captain, Probable Playing 11s, Team News; Injury Updates For DC vs RR Indian Premier League 2025 in Arun Jaitley Stadium New Delhi 730pm April 16
Delhi Capitals will face off against Rajasthan Royals in match No. 32 of the IPL 2025 season at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Wednesday. DC have been flying high this season with just the one loss – in their last home match against Mumbai Indians – in 5 games and are comfortably near the top of the table.
Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, are near the bottom the rung with just a couple of wins so far. Riding on the back of a four-match winning streak, the Axar Patel-led DC appear to be a well-oiled unit — until a dramatic batting collapse against Mumbai Indians brought their momentum to a screeching halt on Sunday.
What was expected to be a triumphant homecoming at the Arun Jaitley Stadium ended in disappointment, with the loss pushing Delhi down to second place on the points table. In stark contrast, Sanju Samson’s Royals are struggling near the bottom, sitting in 8th place with just two wins from six matches. Their campaign has been marred by inconsistency, particularly with the bat.
Impact substitute Karun Nair, fresh from a prolific domestic season, shone with a scintillating 89 as Delhi chased a steep target of 206. At 119/1 in 10 overs, the Capitals seemed firmly in control. But a shocking collapse followed, punctuated by three run-outs in the penultimate over, as they crumbled to 193 all out.
While Delhi will regret letting two valuable points slip away, there’s little time to dwell on the past with another crucial encounter ahead. Spin will once again be pivotal to Delhi’s success. Wrist spinners Kuldeep Yadav and 20-year-old Vipraj Nigam have been the standout performers this season, consistently deceiving batters with their guile and variations—even under the challenge of evening dew.
Meanwhile, the Royals continue to grapple with inconsistency. Their batting, reliant on Indian stars, has largely underperformed. Yashasvi Jaiswal did score a fluent fifty in the previous match against RCB, but his form has been erratic. Skipper Sanju Samson has yet to produce a significant innings, while youngsters Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel have shown promise without delivering consistent results.
