IPL 2021, RR Predicted XI vs DC: Who will replace Ben Stokes? Big headache for Sanju Samson

After Jofra Archer, who is currently recuperating from a hand injury, Stokes is the second Englishman from the Rajasthan outfit who is forced to sit out. Who will be brought in for Stokes? Let's have a look through their predicted XI against DC.

So close, yet so far! This was one phrase that came to everyone's mind when Rajasthan Royals nearly pulled off a mammoth chase of 222 against Punjab Kings in their first Indian Premier League 2021 (IPL) match on Monday. Powered by a magnificent innings of 119 runs by captain Sanju Samson, RR nearly narrowly missed out on the win by four runs.

Not much went wrong on the field for RR that needs to be addressed urgently but they now have a massive deal to blow with off it. Star all-rounder Ben Stokes sustained a finger injury during the game and has been ruled out of the tournament. After Jofra Archer, who is currently recuperating from a hand injury, Stokes is the second Englishman from the Rajasthan outfit who is forced to sit out.

With the IPL 2020 runners-up Delhi Capitals up next--who come into this game on the back of a thumping win against Chennai Super Kings--there is one big question that everyone is asking. Who will be brought in for Stokes? Let's have a look through their predicted XI against DC.

1) Jos Buttler: Jos Buttler is likely to open with Stokes no longer available. The latter opened the innings last time and could only manage a duck. Buttler, however, looked in decent touch during his 13-ball 25. That innings included four consecutive boundaries off Riley Meredith. Buttler is at his lethal best at the top and RR should look to capitalize on that.

2) Manan Vohra: Right-hander Vohra scored 12 runs off eight balls before being dismissed by an excellent caught-and-bowled by Arshdeep Singh. Vohra is likely to share the opening duties again but this time with another Englishman in Buttler.

3) Sanju Samson: What a ton that was. The first player to hit a century on IPL captaincy debut and now has three 100s in the competition. Skipper Samson smashed the first 100 of this season and would look to receive more support from his teammates in the batting department.

4) Liam Livingstone: He is the closest like-for-like replacement of Ben Stokes. The England cricketer is a pinch-hitter who has impressed everyone back home and in the BBL with his batting prowess. Liam Livingstone is a handy bowler too. In 128 T20 matches, he has amassed 3133 runs, at a strike-rate of 140.36, and pocketed 47 wickets. He would love to tee off on that Wankhede track.

5) Shivam Dube: Indian all-rounder Shivam Dube is also likely to retain his spot. He hit 23 off 15 balls. Another clean striker of the ball who often chips in with wickets. With considerable experience under his belt, he is expected to play at least the first half of the tournament.

6) Riyan Parag: If there was someone who showed confidence from ball on Monday night, it was Riyan Parag. A drive through the covers for four and then a gorgeous pick-up shot for six off Mohammed Shami; that's how Parag began his IPL 2021 campaign. He scored 25 off 11 balls as he hit a total of three sixes. He continues to remain an important part of the lower middle-order.

7) Rahul Tewatia: Another important member of the lower middle-order is Rahul Tewatia. The all-rounder broke into the scene last season and even went on to feature on India's T20I squad against England. He didn't get a game but that day will come even closer if he enjoys another successful season of the IPL. Had a subdued game on Monday but expect him to go big once he finds his rhythm.

8) Chris Morris: Proteas all-rounder is the most expensive player ever bought at the auctions and there will be a lot riding on his shoulders. He needs to fire with the bat and the ball to justify the price tag. He pocketed 2/41 in four overs and only got four balls to play. He will be hoping to improve his economy rate and bat as per the team's requirement.

9) Shreyas Gopal: Leg-spinner Gopal went for plenty against PBKS, especially to Deepak Hooda. But he has been a regular member of the franchise and one poor game doesn't take that away from him. He's likely to continue as well.

10) Chetan Sakariya: A star was born on Monday in young left-arm pacer Chetan Sakariya. 3/31 in four overs on your IPL debut is a terrific achievement. Sakariya was mighty impressive upfront and at the death and will continue in the same role against DC as well.

11) Mustafizur Rahman: Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman returned with figures of 0/45 in his four overs. But let's cut him some slack as he has huge shoes to fill in Jofra Archer's absence. Moreover, with another medium pacer in Stokes out, the responsibilities on his shoulder will only get heavier.

RR's Predicted XI: Manan Vohra, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson (C & WK), Liam Livingstone, Shivam Dube, Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Chris Morris, Shreyas Gopal, Chetan Sakariya, Mustafizur Rahman

Both team's are my favorite but im rooting for Rajasthan Royal's #Hallabol
 
Rajasthan Royals have won the toss and have opted to field

Rajasthan Royals: 1 Jos Buttler, 2 Manan Vohra, 3 Sanju Samson (capt & wk), 4 David Miller, 5 Shivam Dube, 6 Riyan Parag, 7 Chris Morris, 8 Rahul Tewatia, 9 Jaydev Unadkat, 10 Chetan Sakariya, 11 Mustafizur Rahman

Delhi Capitals: 1 Prithvi Shaw, 2 Shikhar Dhawan, 3 Ajinkya Rahane, 4 Rishabh Pant (capt & wk), 5 Marcus Stoinis, 6 Lalit Yadav, 7 Chris Woakes, 8 R Ashwin, 9 Kagiso Rabada, 10 Tom Curran, 11 Avesh Khan
 
Sakaria's bowling action reminds me of Chaminda Vaas. If he is as good as Vaas, then India are in luck.
 
Samson deserves a place in India's T20 team. But it will be very difficult for him as Pant and KL Rahul are ahead of him.

Dhawan, Shaw, Gill, Samson, Pant, KL Rahul, Kishan are all in excellent form. Its unfortunate that only 2 or 3 out of them will get to play.
 
this parag needs to bowl normally don't understand what innovation he is trying, messing with his own lines rather than surprising the batsmen
 
Wow another Unadkat special! He isn't going away is he. If ever there's a definition of mediocrity...
 
OUT

Pant run out

Big wicket here with almost 7 overs to go , this would make a difference of at least 20 runs to the final total

Kishan? He's a compulsive hooker as the commies said. He can't stop himself
 
Parag looks a very good utility cricket. Was playing some amazing strokes in the last game, can bowl useful overs and looks a very good fielder
 
So 3 leftie pacers for RR. I don't think even Pakistan played three leftie pacers in one game
 
Not a single six in the Delhi Capitals innings at Wankhede - one of the rare occasions in T20 format in this venue.
 
Unadkat will be a good backup option for Pakistan and South African cricket team.
 
Every catch of Dhawan is iffy. He never has clean catches. This could be an interesting game if there's a partnership here
 
Miller is one of the finest ball strikers of his generation.
 
Royals need 75 runs in 42 balls. RRR: 10.71


Miller has to bat deep here for Rajasthan to have a chance
 
Royals need 27 runs in 12 balls. RRR: 13.50

Couple of big hits will make this interesting
 
Awful bowling from Tom Curran. Full toss and slower ball bouncer, easy pickings for Morris.
 
Where is Nortje? Injured?

Tom Curran is seriously much worse cricketer than his brother Sam.
 
IPL 2021 | RR vs DC | 7th Match | Mumbai | 15th April , 2021 | Match Discussion

It seemed as if Morris was determinedly batting out there with a point to prove. Samson refusing a single and not letting him take the strike must´ve , well, kind of "hurt" him - if that´s the right word. Kudos to him! Brilliant batting!

Good Lord, David Miller gives the ball a serious thump! Amazing, just amazing power! Admire his hitting ability.

It´s amazing how close the matches have been so far this year. Real thrillers and nail-biters! Although, I didn´t expected such a low-scoring affair on the Mumbai surface. I don´t mind it one bit, mind you. Low-scoring games tend to produce really tight games.
