Rajasthan Royals (RR) started off their second game of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 against Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on a high. Skipper Sanju Samson was seen taking a flying catch off Jaydev Unadkat to get the better of DC’s veteran opener, Shikhar Dhawan, who was the hero of the last game.
Delhi reel at 16 for two and will require a big knock from their skipper Rishabh Pant to put up a big total on the board. Asked to bat first, Delhi Capitals soon landed in some deep troubles. Jaydev Undakat took only six balls to take his first wicket as he dismissed Prithvi Shaw and draw the first blood.

Shaw, who played a fine knock in the last game, failed to read the slower delivery and ended up top-edging it David Miller positioned at the point. Jaydev Unadkat backed it with another wicket this time of Shikhar Dhawan owing to a brilliant diving catch by the RR skipper, Sanju Samson.
It was nothing of delivery from Jaydev Unadkat as Shikhar Dhawan shuffled across to play his premeditative scoop against a fullish ball to break the shackles as DC was scoring runs at a slow run-rate. However, the southpaw gets it off the bottom part of the bat.
