IPL 2026: Top 3 Delhi Capitals batters to watch out for
DC have one player at each stage of their batting order who can come in and change the game in their favour.

1. KL Rahul (Top-order batter)
KL Rahul is set to compete in only his second season for DC following an excellent debut campaign last time around. The India opener scored 539 at an average of just under 54 whilst striking at close to 150. He scored his first IPL century after seasons when he hit an unbeaten 112 against the Gujarat Titans, though in a losing cause.
Rahul was able to express himself higher up the order at the Capitals, something he was not able to do whilst playing for the Lucknow Super Giants in the preceding two-to-three seasons. However, with no Faf du Plessis this time around, Rahul will have a new opening partner to gel with in 2026. DC have signed both Pathum Nissanka and Ben Duckett in the most recent mini-auction as potential openers alongside their talisman.
