IPL 2026: Rajasthan Royals' strongest predicted XI against Delhi Capitals

Delhi Capitals will take on Rajasthan Royals in Match 62 of the Indian Premier League 2026 season at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday, May 17. The contest is crucial for both teams as they continue their push for a playoff spot.

Delhi Capitals head into the fixture with confidence after defeating RR by seven wickets earlier this season at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Led by Axar Patel, DC still have a mathematical chance of reaching the playoffs, although they will need several other results to go in their favour.

Rajasthan Royals, meanwhile, are coming into the game after suffering consecutive defeats. Despite the recent setbacks, RR remain fifth on the points table with 12 points from 11 matches. A victory against DC could push them back into the top four and strengthen their playoff hopes.

Here is the strongest predicted RR XI for Match 62 vs DC:

Top Order: Yashasvi Jaiswal (Ct), Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (IMP), Dhruv Jurel (WK)

Yashasvi Jaiswal is expected to continue leading the side in the absence of injured skipper Riyan Parag, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury. Jaiswal has scored 315 runs in 11 matches this season. Opening alongside him will be the in-form Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who has amassed 440 runs in 11 games. Dhruv Jurel is likely to take up wicketkeeping duties after scoring 314 runs in 11 innings.
