The 56th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 is between the Delhi Capitals (DC) and the Rajasthan Royals (RR). While RR has almost qualified for the playoffs, DC's chances are pretty low considering the number of games left for them to play. RR is in the 2nd position on the points table with 16 points, while DC is in the 6th position with 10 points. DC's performance has been quite fluctuating in this year's IPL 2024 but they'll be looking forward to mending their ways in the upcoming days. Also, since the clash is between two old teams in the tournament, the rivalry is on.

He has a good record against the DC's Khaleel Ahmed and he'll definitely look to smash the bowler. In 38 balls he scored 53 balls while Ahmed took his wicket only once.
3. Sanju Samson vs Kuldeep Yadav:
