Topmost Picks for RR vs DC Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Rajasthan Royals

• Jos Buttler – The English right-handed opener took two fine catches in the outfield but also sustained a slight finger injury on Wednesday.
• Yuzvendra Chahal – The spinner was expensive against Punjab Kings but still picked up a wicket in the defeat. He has gone wicketless in only one of his last nine IPL appearances.

Top Picks – Delhi Capitals

• David Warner – The left-handed opener has made scores of 37 and 56 so far in the IPL 2023 but he will want to improve on his strike-rate of 116.25.
• Khaleel Ahmed – This left-arm pacer didn’t have a good start, Khaleel took a wicket with the ball of his four overs against Punjab Kings. 

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for RR vs DC Dream11 Team:

Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, Rishabh Pant, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shimron Hetmyer, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh(C), Trent Boult(VC), Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Khaleel Ahmed

Suggested Playing XI N0.2 for RR vs DC Dream11 Team:

Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson(C), Rishabh Pant, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shai Hope, David Warner(VC), Mitchell Marsh, Trent Boult, Axar Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

Captain – Mitchell Marsh, Sanju Samson

Vice-captain – Trent Boult, David Warner

Wicketkeeper – Jos Buttler

RR vs DC Probable Winners:

This promises to be one of the most entertaining match-ups of the tournament with the in-form pair of Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson taking on Khaleel Ahmed with the ball in hand. If Khaleel can dismiss them both cheaply then Delhi Capitals will have an excellent chance. However, we think that Rajasthan Royals have good batting depth in their team and are backing them to win a close contest. Considering the team combination, Rajasthan Royals is expected to win this match.
