With Mitchell Marsh unavailable due to personal reasons, DC have included West Indian all-rounder Rovman Powell in their team. Meanwhile, the big news for Rajasthan is that Jos Buttler is fit and is a part of the playing XI.
Both sides have announced five substitutes, one of whom can come in as an Impact Player at any stage of the game.

Rajasthan Royals: Navdeep Saini, Akash Vasisht, Murugan Ashwin, KM Asif, and Donovan Ferreira.
Delhi Capitals: Aman Hakim Khan, Prithvi Shaw, Sarfaraz Khan, Ishant Sharma, and Praveen Dubey.
The Capitals were the first team to use the Impact Player substitute. They brought in opener Prithvi Shaw in place of left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed.
Rajasthan, on the other hand, strengthened their bowling unit by bringing Murugan Ashwin as an Impact Player. Butter, who had an injury on his finger, walked out of the match.
Speaking at the toss, DC skipper David Warner is hopeful that they will bounce back after two straight defeats.
"Don't know what's gonna happen. Hopefully, we will start well. There is one forced change with Powell coming in for Marsh. "
RR captain Sanju Samson confirmed that Buttler has regained fitness and is a part of the playing XI. He also predicted a high-scoring game and highlighted the bright side of the Impact Player rule.
