The Rajasthan Royals (RR) won a thrilling match against the Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 9 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. The game took place on Thursday, March 28, 2024, and RR batted first, setting a challenging target.

Riyan Parag stood out with a sensational knock of 84 runs off just 45 balls, including 7 fours and 6 sixes. His innings steadied the ship and propelled RR to a formidable total of 185 runs for the loss of 5 wickets.

The victory was a testament to RR's balanced team composition and strategic prowess, elevating them to the second position on the points table.
