    RR vs DD: Head-to-head, Playing XI and other interesting stats

    What's the story

    The Indian Premier League is all set to return to the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur for the first time since 2013.

    Rajasthan Royals will host Delhi Daredevils in match number 6 of the 2018 season.

    Both teams are desperate to get their season back on track after losing their opening games, but who holds the edge in this fixture?

    Here's our pre-match report.

    Royals have the edge

    Head-to-head record

    Historically, the Rajasthan Royals have been the better side.

    The Royals and the Daredevils have locked horns on 16 occasions in the past.

    The Royals have won 10 of these encounters while the Delhi franchise have emerged victorious 6 times.

    In Jaipur, the two sides have met 4 times with the home side winning 3 and the Daredevils winning just one game.

    Impenetrable

    The Sawai Mansingh Stadium is a fortress

    The Royals are one of the few teams that boast an incredible record at home.

    The Sawai Mansingh Stadium has been lucky for the blue outfit, as they have a 24-9 win-loss record at this venue.

    In the inaugural edition, Warne-led Royals won all of their seven matches held at Jaipur.

    Now that he is back, can Rajasthan reach the same heights?

    Tormentor-in-chief

    Ajinkya Rahane is the thorn in Delhi's flesh

    The Royals will be hoping that their captain Ajinkya Rahane stands tall.

    The Indian vice-captain is the top performer in these head-to-head fixtures.

    He has scored more runs against Delhi than against any other IPL franchise.

    In his 15 matches against Delhi, Rahane has an aggregate of 632 runs at an average of 63.20.

    Nine innings by Rahane have been 40+ scores.

    Shot in the arm

    Delhi get a boost in the form of Maxwell

    Delhi Daredevils were heavily punished by KL Rahul in their opening game.

    However, their fans have something to cheer about as the dangerous Glenn Maxwell has now joined the squad.

    With Gambhir, Munro, Maxwell and Rishabh Pant, Delhi's batting line up looks like a destructive force.

    The Royals have a lot to ponder about how to contain these batsmen.
