Delhi vs Rajasthan: A Northern Derby of its Own Kind

No other two teams in the competition have an intense and grueling rivalry as the one between Delhi and Rajasthan. While there has never been a dearth in the respective teams’ batting power, it's the bowling attack that has turned out to be the deciding factor on most of the occasions.

Delhi have been on the rise in the last few seasons and have made significant progress in terms of results since Shreyas Iyer was made captain of the side. After reaching their first ever final in the 2020 season, the team will be hoping to take that one final step successfully.

Rajasthan have a new captain in Sanju Samson, who is leading the side in the 2021 edition. The team had patches of success – be it against Delhi or overall, with their last play-off appearance coming in 2018. The Men in Pink hopes of reaching the play-offs this season have significantly weakened with the absence of Buttler, Stokes and Archer.
