RR Team News & Playing 11
Team News
None of the players have been reported to be injured and the team is likely to field the same group of eleven that took on the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last game.
Key Players
Ajinkya Rahane, D'Arcy Short, Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler form the core of the team's batting. Short was one of the best batsmen in the 2017-18 Big Bash League while Stokes and Buttler can play the big shots and score at a brisk rate. Pacemen Jaydev Unadkat and Ben Laughlin are the key when it comes to bowling. The former was the second-highest wicket-taker in the previous season and the Royals will back him to do some early damage with the new ball.
Recent Form
Rajasthan Royals were handed a nine-wicket thrashing by the Sunrisers Hyderabad in their opening encounter. After being put into bat, the former could only muster 125 from 20 overs before the latter made short work of their target. The Royals now have just one win in their last five matches.

Ajinkya Rahane (c), D'Arcy Short, Sanju Samson, Ben Stokes, Rahul Tripathi, Jos Buttler (wk), Krishnappa Gowtham, Shreyas Gopal, Dhawal Kulkarni, Jaydev Unadkat, Ben Laughlin

Team News
South Africa fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has been ruled out of the tournament with a back injury and the Daredevils have drafted England paceman Liam Plunkett into the squad as his replacement. The team is likely to replace either Chris Morris or Daniel Christian with all-rounder Glenn Maxwell. The rest of the line-up is expected to remain the same.
Key Players
The opening pair of Colin Munro and Gautam Gambhir is going to be the key for the Delhi Daredevils. On his day, Munro can be devastating and can bat the opposition out of the game while Gambhir who is coming on the back of a well-made fifty against the KXIP is a busy player and keeps the scoreboard ticking. New-ball bowling will rely mainly on the pace of Trent Boult who seems a top candidate for providing the early breakthroughs. Amit Mishra will be the Daredevils' main weapon after the powerplay. The leg-spinner has taken the most wickets for the franchise and is second on the tournament's wickets charts.
Recent Form
Delhi Daredevils have begun their IPL 2018 campaign on a losing note as they suffered a six-wicket defeat at the hands of Kings XI Punjab in their first match. Except skipper Gambhir, there were no other major contributions from the top order which stood out as the main reason for their loss.

Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Daredevils Betting Odds
Delhi Daredevils begin as favorites amongst the bookmakers to win this match at odds of 1.94 on Betfair while Rajasthan Royals, despite playing on their home ground, are the underdogs at 2.02 with the same bookmaker. The betting odds for both these teams to win this game are tied at 1.90 each on Bet365 and Betrally.
Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Daredevils Prediction
Though both teams are coming into this game after having faced defeats in their respective first matches, Rajasthan Royals would be the more disappointed of the two teams given the manner in which they were defeated. No batsman barring Sanju Samson could reach the 20-run mark and their bowlers managed to pick up just one wicket during Hyderabad's chase. The Royals, however, do possess an excellent record against Delhi, beating them in the last six matches straight. They also have the advantage of playing on their home ground where they have won three out of four matches against the Daredevils. Although the Gautam Gambhir-led Delhi Daredevils are a strong team, we feel that Rajasthan Royals are slightly better placed to win here.
Final Verdict: Back Rajasthan Royals to beat Delhi Daredevils at 2.02 on 1xbet and 1.90 each on Bet365 and Bet365.
