RR, on the other side, made a remarkable comeback against Punjab Kings owing to some brilliant death bowling from Kartik Tyagi, but DC proved too strong for Sanju Samson’s team, which has been severely hampered by absences.
RR’s batsmen struggled against Delhi Capitals, with just captain Samson contributing meaningfully. If RR is to have any chance of making the playoffs, others must rally behind him and put their hands up.
