We are all set for the action to get underway in Jaipur. Axar Patel has gathered his men in a huddle near the ropes, with the captain spurring his team on with a few final words before they take the field. Out walk the formidable RR opening pair of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Playing his first game of the season, Mitchell Starc will kick off proceedings with the new ball for DC. Jaiswal to take strike. A slip in place. Let's go...
The captain of the Delhi Capitals - Axar Patel says that they would have bowled first anyway, as in the last game at this venue, SRH chased something around 230. Mentions that they just have to keep a positive attitude and try to turn things around. Axar informs that there are a few changes in the side. Mitchell Starc is playing so Dushmantha Chameera misses out. Sahil Parakh is out with a neck spasm, and Pathum Nissanka comes in, with David Miller also sitting out this match.
The captain of the Rajasthan Royals - Riyan Parag believes it is not the usual Jaipur wicket, noting a bit of dryness and patchiness on the surface. He expects it to slow down as the game progresses. Parag says the middle and lower-order finishing the previous game was pleasing to see. Highlights that chasing down 223 was a collective effort, with everyone stepping up at different stages. Riyan admits they are still not playing complete cricket, but hopes the team can put it all together going forward. Informs that Ravi Bishnoi comes back in and Dasun Shanaka sits out, with Shubham Dubey being included in the starting XI.
Mitchell Starc to Yashasvi Jaiswal, SIX! Now, that's some welcome for Mitchell Starc this season! He lands this back of a length and around middle, not short enough to trouble the batter. Yashasvi Jaiswal picks up the length in a trice, swivels and pulls it over the deep square leg fence for a biggie.
Mitchell Starc to Yashasvi Jaiswal, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLLED! There's the response from the Aussie. Not a wicket-taking delivery, but Mitchell Starc opens his account for the season. He bowls a high full toss at 143.3, around the midriff of the batter. Yashasvi Jaiswal gets surprised by it and cannot get out of the way, just swinging at it. The ball hits the bat rather than him hitting the ball. It spoons up off the higher part of the bat, and Starc runs forward to take a dolly. Jaiswal is not going anywhere as the third umpire is checking for a No Ball above waist height. However, the Ball Tracking shows that it is well below the waist of Yashasvi and he will have to walk back to the hut.
Mitchell Starc has his first wicket, or has he? Yashasvi Jaiswal is going nowhere. The third umpire has been summoned to check the height of the full toss.
