Delhi Capitals ended their three-match losing streak with a seven-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals in match 43 of Indian Premier League 2026 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Friday (May 1).

Earlier, skipper Riyan Parag returned to form with a 50-ball 90, his first fifty-plus score of this season, while Donovan Ferreira made a quick-fire 47 not out (14 balls) as RR posted a strong 225/6 after opting to bat.
