Rajasthan are in quick search of a batting fix. The top order has some issues and that has left the team with little depth. Their middle-order looks slow against spin and with Kuldeep Yadav and Axar against them the spinners will pose a challenge. For DC, Jake Fraser's form is a concern but their batting has been solid so far. Karun Nair has made a spectacular comeback in the IPL after an year of groundbreaking domestic performances.
