The Rajasthan Royals team, strengthened by the return of Ben Stokes, will be trying to avenge their previous defeat against Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match to be held here on Wednesday. Delhi beat the Royals by 46 runs last week. The Royals team, led by Steve Smith, will take a lesson from it and present a tough challenge in this match. When the two teams clashed with each other last time, the Royals’ team did not have Stokes. The England all-rounder may not have shown his mettle in the first match, but in his presence it was able to break the four-match losing streak by winning by five wickets against former champions Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Smith said, “Stokes’ return has created a good balance in our team. He only bowled one over as he has just come out of lockdown and is trying to return to the rhythm. “While Stokes is extremely important for the Royals, the team would like to cross the top order failure as well.
