Rajasthan Royals (RR) will be hosting Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 11th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati. Under the captaincy of Sanju Samson, RR will be heading into the game after suffering a close loss against Punjab Kings (PBKS) by a narrow margin of five runs at the same venue. Despite the loss, Sanju Samson, Dhruv Jurel, and Shimron Hetmyer proved their worth with bat.
While Rajasthan Royals commenced their campaign kicked off their campaign at IPL 2023 with a win over KKR, DC is yet to return with a win this year. David Warner and his men succumbed to a 50-run loss against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their first match this season.

The defending champions Gujarat Giants then picked up a six-wicket win in DC’s maiden home game earlier this week. Heading into the game, RR opener Jos Buttler is expected to miss the game due to a finger injury that he suffered in the last game. RR and DC have clashed a total of 26 times against each other in the past. Interestingly, both teams have registered 13 wins against each other. The last time both teams clashed in the IPL, DC defeated RR by eight wickets.
Rajasthan Royals (RR)
Rajasthan Royals will be hoping to come back to winning ways after their close loss in the last match, but they will be missing Jos Buttler and he can be replaced by Joe Root. Despite the loss, young batter Dhruv Jurel witnessed some increase in his stick value as he came out all guns blazing as an Impact Player and played a fantastic knock. Bowling will still be a concern as their star pacer Trent Boult and KM Asif conceded a lot of runs. It is to be seen how RR think tank approaches the game.
Probable XI: Joe Root, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (C), Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal, Sandeep Sharma
Delhi Capitals (DC)
Delhi Capitals will be missing the services of their overseas star Mitchell Marsh who is leaving for a week for his wedding. Apart from him, all other players will be available for selection. The team selection will be a massive conundrum for the DC coaches, but they may retain the same XI for the match. Prithvi Shaw and Sarfaraz Khan will have to prove their worth as the likes of Manish Pandey and Lalit Yadav are waiting in the wings.
Probable XI: David Warner (C), Prithvi Shaw, Rilee Rossouw, Sarfaraz Khan, Rovman Powell, Axar Patel, Abhishek Porel, Lalit Yadav, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Mukesh Kumar
Fantasy XI Suggestion 1:
Sanju Samson, Sarfaraz Khan, David Warner (c), Yashaswi Jaiswal (vc), Prithvi Shaw, Rilee Rossouw, Axar Patel, R Ashwin, Jason Holder, Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult
Fantasy XI Suggestion 2:
Sanju Samson, Sarfaraz Khan, Joe Root, David Warner (vc), Rovman Powell, Rilee Rossouw, Axar Patel, Jason Holder, R Ashwin (c), Kuldeep Yadav, Trent Boult
