DC have won the toss and elected to bowl first
Tripurana Vijay receives his maiden IPL cap for DC
The match is being played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi
Delhi Capitals (DC) will cross swords with Rajasthan Royals (RR) in match 62 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday, May 17.
Delhi Capitals' playoff qualification hopes are hanging by a thread, and they could go only to 14 points even if they win both their remaining matches. While their opening is still a problem, their middle-order showed fight in their last match as they chased down a 200-plus target against Punjab in the last match.
While KL Rahul has been in good touch in the tournament, he needs support from the other end to make good use of the powerplay, and Abhishek Porel could play that role.
On the other hand, RR are still in the playoff hunt with 12 points from 11 games. While they can still qualify by winning two of their remaining three matches.
While RR's middle-order was always a problem, lack of runs by their top-order in the last few games added to their issues. They would need the likes of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal to fire, which would give them an upper hand over a struggling DC.
