While Rajasthan Royals won their first match against Lucknow Super Giants, Delhi Capitals started their campaign with a defeat to Punjab Kings as well and they will try to bounce back in this game. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant’s return will certainly be a positive thing for the Delhi Capitals. On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals will also try to keep their momentum on.

IPL 2024: RR vs DC, Match 9: Who said what at the toss?

Rishabh Pant- We’ll bowl first. The wicket looks fine and we want to use it, there might be some dew in the 2nd innings. Feels good to play 100 matches for the same franchise, but every game is important for me. Most of the concerns are regarding injury, but these are things you can’t control. Two changes for us – Ishant hasn’t recovered, Shai Hope has a back spasm. Anrich Nortje and Mukesh Kumar come in.

Sanju Samson – We would have bowled first, dew could come in the second innings. Both pitches have an even covering of grass, but the last match was an afternoon game. All the 10 teams are geared up and prepared well, we just need to follow the process and not think too much, then we will be fine. Same team for us.
