The season’s opening match, between the Rajasthan Royals and the Delhi Capitals, ended in controversy. On Wednesday, the two teams will meet again in the 58th encounter of the IPL 2022. The Royals won the opening game by 15 runs and will be hoping for a repeat performance. They won their seventh game by defeating Punjab Kings by six wickets.
The Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, have had an erratic run in the competition, winning only 5 of 11 games. This season, they have yet to win two consecutive games. DC lost their last game by a significant score of 91 runs, which had a detrimental impact on their net run rate. From this vantage point, DC must win every match in order to qualify for the playoffs.
The match is scheduled to occur on the 11th of May, 2022 at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai.

Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals Match 58 – Players to Watch
David Warner
The maverick opening batsman has been an absolute bargain for the Delhi Capitals as he has led the fight from the vanguard and in the occasion of his partner’s dismissal, he has stood firm and led the fight back. Warner has scored 375 runs in 9 matches at an average of 53.57 and a strike rate of 156.90, including four half-centuries. Warner must be on top of his game in order for DC to have a shot in this match.
Kuldeep Yadav
This tournament has been the rebirth of the spinner, who suffered from a deep lack of confidence as the previous team setup did not support his game. This led to him staying in and out of the national side, and he will be hopeful that his current form will be enough to convince the selectors to give him a spot on the upcoming World T20 squad. He has taken 18 wickets in 11 matches at a strike rate of 13.2 and an average of 19.55. He has only taken one wicket in the last three outings and will like to make a turnaround.
Yashasvi Jaiswal
Yashasvi Jaiswal was dropped from the playing 11 after failing to make a decent total in the first three matches. He was back in the lineup for the last game against the Punjab Kings. Jaiswal batted first for RR and scored 68 runs off 41 deliveries. For this performance, he was named player of the match.
Yuzvendra Chahal
By far, the best bowler in the 2022 season of the IPL, Yuzvendra has hit the ground running after his departure from the RCB camp. The Rajasthan Royals have definitely bagged a superstar who is capable of changing the game on its head with his crafty bowling. He has 22 wickets in 11 matches, with an average of 14.50, an economy of 7.25, and a strike rate of 12. He took three wickets for 28 runs in the previous game against the Punjab Kings.
