Delhi captain Shreyas Iyer has won the toss and elected to field against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur on Monday.
Delhi have been doing better at away games rather than at their home ground but on Saturday they managed to reverse that at the Feroz Shah Kotla ground with a five-wicket win over Kings XI Punjab, helping them stay in the points table.
Rajasthan also got back to winning ways after defeating Mumbai Indians on Saturday.
With both teams rejuvenated after their respective victories, it will be an interesting battle for one-upmanship come Monday.
However, Rajasthan would be a bit more desperate than Delhi as they are languishing at the second last position in the points table with just three wins from nine outings.
Playing XI
Delhi Capitals: Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Colin Ingram, Chris Morris, Sherfane Rutherford, Axar Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma
