Rajasthan Royals beat Delhi Capitals in match 43 of IPL 2026
KL Rahul won the Player of the Match for his 75-run knock
DC win with seven wickets in hand
Delhi Capitals pulled off one of the most remarkable chases of IPL 2026, defeating Rajasthan Royals by 7 wickets while chasing a daunting 226 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.
RR earlier posted 225/6 after recovering from 12/2, with stand-in skipper Riyan Parag leading the way with a superb 90 off 50 balls. Dhruv Jurel added 42, while Donovan Ferreira’s explosive 47 off just 14 deliveries powered Royals past the 220 mark in a dominant batting display.
In response, DC got off to a flying start through Pathum Nissanka, who smashed 62 off 33 balls, helping them race to around 70 in the powerplay.
KL Rahul then anchored the chase brilliantly with a composed 75 off 40, stitching a 100-plus opening stand with Nissanka. Nitish Rana chipped in with a quick 33 as DC maintained a strong run rate throughout the innings.
Despite a brief fightback from RR with wickets in the middle overs, Delhi never lost control of the chase. Ashutosh Sharma and Tristan Stubbs kept their composure in the death overs, guiding DC home in 19.2 overs.
A no-ball sealed the victory, as DC registered their highest successful chase in IPL history, completing a clinical turnaround after their previous collapse.
