IPL 2026: Delhi Capitals' strongest predicted XI against Rajasthan Royals
DC’s last game was significant, with their middle-order finally clicking and winning them the match after their top order failed to deliver them with quick runs in the powerplay.
The Delhi Capitals (DC) play host to the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their penultimate game of the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) in Match 62 to be played on Sunday, May 17, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Axar Patel’s side are mathematically still in with a chance to qualify for the playoffs, but they will need a host of other results to go their way. They come into the game against RR on the back of a dramatic three-wicket victory over the Punjab Kings in Dharamshala.
DC’s last game was significant, with their middle-order finally clicking and winning them the match after their top order failed to deliver them with quick runs in the powerplay.
Here is DC’s strongest predicted XI vs RR, Match 62, IPL 2026:
Top Order: Abishek Porel, KL Rahul (WK), Sahil Parakh
To accommodate two overseas middle-order batters and seamers, DC could once again be without Pathum Nissanka, with Abhishek Porel opening alongside KL Rahul in the last game. Rahul will continue to be his side’s talisman with the bat, having already scored 477 runs at a strike-rate of 178, whilst averaging upwards of 40. The wicketkeeper-batter has had a few underwhelming performances in past matches and is due a big score soon.
