But before these two captains take the field for their heated Wednesday clash, let us assess the captaincy dynamics and probable playing 11s.

Axar Patel’s captaincy record in IPL 2025

Axar Patel was the last new captain to be announced ahead of IPL 2025. However, the team’s decision seems to be a brilliant one, as DC have only lost one game so far under their new skipper.

• Matches: 5
• Wins: 4
• Losses: 1
• Tied: 0
• Win percentage: 80

Sanju Samson’s captaincy record in IPL 2025

Sanju Samson, leading RR for the first time this season, has made a solid impression, guiding the side to four wins in five games and keeping them firmly in the top half of the IPL 2025 points table.

• Matches: 3
• Wins: 1
• Losses: 2
• No result: 0
• Win percentage: 33.33

RR got a huge sigh of relief in the early phases of their last game against RCB when their star opener Yashasvi Jaiswal finally found form. However, except for him, no other batter impressed much as the team lost the game in the end. Their inability to score quick runs in the middle overs could be a topic of discussion amongst the team management, and they may choose to add some firepower to their batting order to counter this issue against DC.

Rajasthan Royals' batters, meanwhile, haven't fared any better against spin and boast of only a marginally better average of 24.85. Inevitably, their toughest spin test is loading against Kuldeep Yadav who - irrespective of ground dimensions, dew and pitches - has held his own amidst the madcap hitting with best-in-the-league economy of 5.6 in five games (minimum 10 overs).

Axar Patel, the DC captain, meanwhile, has had the wood over two of their premier batters - his counterpart Sanju Samson (70 runs in 63 balls, 2 dismissals) and local hero Nitish Rana (37 runs in 31 balls, 2 dismissals).

RR's batting overall hasn't inspired much confidence - Riyan Parag is struggling to replicate his IPL 2024 form that earned him his India debut, Samson and Rana have only a fifty each, while Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shimron Hetmyer have both blown hot and cold.

The batting-friendly climes of Delhi might just be the respite RR's faltering batting unit needs to hit its straps.

Thanks Madhuri for the tag and informative thread

For Axar Patel’s men, the focus will be to knuckle down and ensure they don’t suffer two losses in a row at home, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. They will welcome a struggling Rajasthan Royals unit who are in desperate pursuit for some rhythm, stuck at the wrong end of the table and trying to make it click.

Rajasthan were also humbled at their first true home match in Jaipur by Royal Challengers Bengaluru, a loss which saw their bowling attack rendered ineffective by RCB’s batting charge. Bowling remains their concern, but RR haven’t quite clicked in any department. While Yashasvi Jaiswal played himself into form with a fine half-century, Sanju Samson had a torrid time, looking like a shadow of his smooth and fluent self.

While these two teams feel a world apart in terms of their performances and quality shown thus far this season, RR catch DC at a good time, when the team from the nation’s capital looks a little vulnerable after a disappointing loss. Despite Kuldeep Yadav’s sterling form and Karun Nair’s heroics upon return, DC will be a bit shaken by the manner in which they lost to MI. A middle order collapse followed by an unprecedented hat-trick of runouts saw them fall well short in the end, but captain Axar’s post-match reaction did suggest that he saw it as an aberration, more than something that could be a recurring concern.
