One area that Rajasthan Royals lack depth is their seam department. They do have Trent Boult in their ranks, but he too has failed to get going.
KM Asif partnered with Boult in the previous encounter but he leaked runs at an economy of over 13.
Bout, on the other hand, conceded 38/0 in his four overs.
Jason Holder provided some respite as he scalped two wickets and conceded 29 runs in four overs.
RR vs DC Live Score, IPL 2023: Will Buttler play?
Meanwhile, Rajasthan will be fretting over Jos Buttler's avalablity. The star opener got stitches on the little finger of his left hand after hurting it in the previous encounter against Punjab Kings.
The bruised area with stitches is likely to remain sore and soft and it will be difficult to field even though batting with extra padding inside the gloves remain an option.
