Axar's Battles with RR's Big Hitters
It’s not just about the overall numbers; Axar’s had some specific battles with key RR players that are worth noting. Sanju Samson, for example – a powerhouse batsman – has faced Axar quite a bit, scoring 70 runs off 63 balls against him. That’s a pretty decent showing for Samson, but it also speaks to Axar’s ability to challenge even the best. He's also shown a knack for dismissing other key players like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Nitish Rana.

DC vs. RR: What to Expect?
This DC vs RR match is shaping up to be a cracker! DC are coming off a tough loss, but they're still a strong team. RR, on the other hand, are really hoping to turn things around. The Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is generally known for being a batting-friendly pitch – so we're likely in for a high-scoring affair. The weather forecast is looking dry, which could impact the toss decision significantly. Both teams will need to be at the top of their game to take advantage of the conditions.
