DC vs RR Key Players

Yuzvendra Chahal

After getting a good amount of wickets in the early stages of the tournament Yuzvendra Chahal has struggled to keep his economy down. He was at his most expensive the previous game as well. With the playoffs and World Cup coming Chahal needs to find his way back.

Kuldeep Yadav

The other half of KulCha has been having it pretty good in recent times. He missed a few games with injuries but once he came back in he has been doing a fine job against some big hitters.
