Introduction
No other franchises have a competition as intense and grueling as the one between Delhi and Rajasthan. While there has never been a dearth in their batting power, with some of the great strikers of the T20 format shared evenly between Delhi and Rajasthan, it’s their bowling attack that has turned out to be the deciding factor on most of the occasions.
Delhi has a bit of momentum from their performances in 2019 and 2020, and they will likely emulate a similar show throughout the league stages in 2021. Rajasthan, on the other hand, has had patches of success – be it against Delhi or in league stages overall, and now, being led by Sanju Samson, and an in-form Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, death over specialist in Chris Morris and a clutch player in Rahul Tewatia, will be hoping to turn the odds in their favor in the 2021 edition.
