Rajasthan Royals will be without the services of middle-order batter Shimron Hetmyer and Dhruv Jurel for their crucial clash against Delhi Capitals today in match 56 of the IPL 2024.

Both teams are vying for a playoff spot, with the Rajasthan Royals needing just one win to secure their place, while the Capitals are looking to stay in contention.

Skipper Sanju Samson revealed at the toss that Hetmyer and Jurel are unavailable due to niggles. This opens the door for two debutants in the Royals lineup – Shubham Dubey and Donovan Ferreira.

The Royals are currently in a strong position with 16 points from 11 matches, while the Capitals have 10 points from 11 games. Delhi, on the other hand, will miss Prithvi Shaw and Lizaad Williams for this encounter.

Both teams have also made other changes, with the Delhi Capitals bringing in Ishant Sharma and Gulbadin Naib, who is making his IPL debut as a replacement for the injured Mitchell Marsh.

Rajasthan Royals Playing XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson(w/c), Riyan Parag, Donovan Ferreira, Rovman Powell, Shubham Dubey, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Sandeep Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal
