Delhi Capitals have won the toss and have opted to field against Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals.  Defending 218 against KKR in their last game, the Royals nearly made a mess of it. A splendid 17th over from Chahal, however, turned the tables and helped Rajasthan leap to the third spot.  

Despite losing Mitchell Marsh - due to Covid - in the last game, the Capitals put up their best performance of the season, claiming a thumping 9-wicket win over Punjab Kings. Shimron Hetmyer, who is circumspect against spin, is likely to face a stiff challenge against Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel.
