May 11: Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals, 58th Match, DY Patil Stadium
Safe XI: Jos Buttler (capt), Sanju Samson, Rishabh Pant, David Warner, Rovman Powell, Yashasvi Jaiswal, R Ashwin, Mitchell Marsh, Yuzvendra Chahal, Khaleel Ahmed (vice-capt), Anrich Nortje
Captain: Jos Buttler
Fresh from the hundred against Capitals in the reverse fixture earlier this season, Jos Buttler will be looking to repeat that performance. The orange cap holder has scored 618 runs in 11 games at an average of 61.80 and a strike rate of 152.21. His last three scores at this venue are 100, 54 and 67.
Vice-captain: Khaleel Ahmed
The 24-year-old pacer has been in spectacular form this season, taking 16 wickets in just eight games at an economy of 7.75. He has been the primary strike bowler for Capitals this season. He has taken seven wickets in nine overs between overs seven and 15 at an average of 10.
Hot Picks
David Warner: One of the top five run-scorers this season, Warner has hit 375 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 156.90. He has recorded six 20-plus scores in his last seven outings against Rajasthan Royals. He has scored the second-most runs in powerplay this season with 209 runs at a strike rate of 163.28, only behind Buttler.
Yuzvendra Chahal: The current purple cap holder has taken 19 of his 22 wickets in the last ten overs of the innings. He just needs one wicket to equal his best returns from an IPL season when he picked up 23 wickets in 2015. He has taken 16 wickets in 16 games against Capitals in IPL.
Differential Picks
Yashasvi Jaiswal: The 20-year-old opener has looked in fine touch in the previous game against Punjab Kings scoring a 41-ball 63. After an indifferent start to the season, he was dropped from the XI but managed to make a stunning comeback in the last game. In the last two seasons, he has scored 223 runs at an impressive strike rate of 142.03 in the powerplay.
Mitchell Marsh: The Australian allrounder is yet to get a big score. He has been bowling well though picking up a wicket in both the games he got to bowl. However, he has been one of the top-performing fantasy players in each of the last three games for Capitals.
High Risk XI: Jos Buttler, Rishabh Pant, David Warner (capt), Devdutt Padikkal, Yashasvi Jaiswal, R Ashwin, Mitchell Marsh, Yuzvendra Chahal (vice-capt)), Kuldeep Yadav, Khaleel Ahmed, Prasidh Krishna.
