Delhi Capitals have been the standout performers in this season of the Indian Premier League. They started the season with four consecutive wins before an unfortunate loss in their fifth game against the Mumbai Indians. The Capitals are currently placed 2nd in the points table with 8 points and a net run rate of 0.899. Delhi Capitals are the only team with 4 wins in 5 games, while the rest of the top 4 with 8 points have played 6 games.
Delhi Capitals started the season with a close win against LSG by 1 wicket with 3 balls remaining. Chasing a huge taget of 210, Delhi Capitals were sure to lose the game when they were 6 down for just 113 in the 13th over. However, a superb knock from Ashutosh Sharma, 66 of just 31 balls, helped them register their first victory of the season.
KL Rahul is proving to be a best buy in the recent auctions for Delhi Capitals. He has helped Delhi Capitals won two games comprehensively. In the game against CSK where he scored 77 of 51 balls opening the innings for the first time for Delhi Capitals, DC won that game by 25 runs. Against Royal Challengers Bangalore. He came in at a tricky situation when the team was 2 down for 10 in the third over and scored not out 93 to help Delhi Capitals get out of the line with 6 wickets and about 2 overs to spare. KL Rahul was the player of the match in both the games.
Despite the heroics of comeback man, Karun Nair, Delhi Capitals suffered their first loss of the season in the 5th game against Mumbai Indians in a dramatic fashion at Arun Jaitley Stadium. They were well on course to beat the six-time champions MI, but a string of run-outs at the death meant that Delhi could not get to their fifth consecutive victory of the season.
Delhi Capitals are currently the best contenders for the title, with inform batters like KL Rahul, Karun Nair, Abishek Porel to name a few. Kuldeep Yadav leads the bowling attack with 10 wickets in the five games and is currently the third-highest wicket-taker in the tournament so far. Delhi Capitals would be keen to get a win here against underperforming Rajasthan Royals and solidify their position at the top half of the table.
Key players: KL Rahul, Kuldeep Yadav, Ashutosh Sharma, Karun Nair
Abhishek Porel has scores of 33, 7, 33, 34 & 0 this season. Despite couple of low scores he has been consistent and in good form. In the 7 matches played at Delhi, Porel has scored 255 runs, averaging 36.4. Given his current form, we back Porel to score over 20 runs against Rajasthan Royals.
Karun Nair played a blinder of a knock against Mumbai Indians (89 runs in 40 balls). He is in sublime form and on a good batting track where the ball comes on the bat nicely, expect him to make full use of the opportunity and score over 22 runs.
Jake Fraser-McGurk, Abishek Porel, Karun Nair, KL Rahul (wk), Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel (c), Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Mohit Sharma, Kuldeep Yadav

Given the squad the Rajasthan Royals have, one must say they have underperformed so far in the Indian Premier League 2025. Rajasthan Royals have just two wins in six games, and with four points, they are currently placed eighth in the points table, having the third worst net run rate of -0.838. Both of Rajasthan Royals's wins have come after batting first against CSK and Punjab Kings.
Rajasthan Royals started the season with a high-scoring game against Sunrisers Hyderabad who are hell-bent on making 300 this season. Chasing a target of 286, Rajasthan Royals did well to reach 242 but that was not enough. In the next game, Against KKR, the Rajasthan Royals scored just 151 and lost the game in the 18th over.
Then came the two wins against CSK and Punjab Kings. In both these games, the Rajasthan Royals batted first and scored 185 and 205, respectively. These above par scores helped Rajasthan Royals bowlers to have some cushion while defending the big totals, helping Rajasthan Royals register two consecutive wins. However, sadly, these were the only wins the Rajasthan Royals have so far in the six games they have played in this season.
The Rajasthan Royals lost the last two games against the Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bangalore by comprehensive margins of 58 runs and 9 wickets, respectively. Taking a look at Rajasthan Royals's losses, the margins should concern more than just the defeats. Most of them have been comprehensive losses. While Rajasthan Royals have a strong unit with players like Yashaswi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag, Jofra Archer, they are not performing to their potential. If Rajasthan Royals don't improve their game drastically against one of the best teams of the tournament, Delhi Capitals, there is no chance of Rajasthan Royals winning this game.
Key players: Yashaswi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag, Joffra Archer
Jaiswal has scored 182 runs in 6 matches, after a quite start to the season, the southpaw has smashed two fifties in the last three matches. He will be up against Mitchell Starc a matchup to watch out for, if he can negate that threat then Jaiswal could be in for a big knock.
Parag has scores of 30, 26, 43, 37, 25 & 4 this season. He has been the mainstay batter in the middle order striking at 155.6. Expect the first match he has scored 25 or more runs in each of the last five matches. He is the best batsman to bet on for this game to score over 21 runs.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Nitish Rana, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Wanindu Hasaranga, Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana, Sandeep Sharma, Tushar Deshpande

Minimal TurnThe venue of the match is Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. Established in 1883, tt is one of the oldest cricket stadiums in India and an iconic cricket venue across the world. Formerly known as Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, it was renamed in 2019 to Arun Jaitley Stadium. This is the iconic venue where Anil Kumble took a historic 10-wicket haul in a single Test against Pakistan in 1999. The venue has hosted several ODIs, tests, and T20 international matches. This venue has a seating capacity of about 40,000 spectators.
We back the home team Delhi Capitals to win the coin toss in match 32 of Tata IPL 2025.
The pitch at Delhi favours the batters and with the square boundaries being relatively short runs are easy to come by which was evident in the last match played, where the total match score was 398. Both teams head into this contest with a loss in their last match and they will be aiming to come out on top.
In the 8 T20 internationals played at this venue, four have been won by the teams batting first, while the remaining four have been won by the teams bowling first. Only one game has been played at this venue in this season of IPL, where Mumbai Indians won against Delhi Capitals, batting first after scoring more than 200 runs. It looks like the conditions at Delhi are good for batting, and the teams should look to bat first here and set big totals up front. The team winning the toss should bat first here.
Delhi Capitals are undoubtedly the team of the season so far, with 4 wins in the first 5 games. They could have won the 5th game as well if not for the string of run-outs at the end of the innings against the Mumbai Indians. Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, have suffered some huge defeats in the first 6 games and have only 2 wins to show so far in this season. We believe the Delhi Capitals are a confident unit and should have an upper hand over the Rajasthan Royals in this home game.
We predict that Delhi Capitals will defeat Rajasthan Royals.
