Today's IPL 2026 match: Who are the players to watch out for?
DC vs RCB, Delhi, 7.30pm local time
Delhi smashed their way to 264 last time out thanks to KL Rahul's 152*, but still somehow ended up on the losing side. The opener will definitely be one to watch out for today, as is No.3 Nitish Rana. Kuldeep Yadav had a solid game, considering the number of runs scored. With Lungi Ngidi set to miss out today after his worrying knock on the head, Dushmantha Chameera could get a first game of the season.
RCB continued to impress against Gujarat Titans in their previous game. Their batting lineup may like the look of the smaller Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi; Devdutt Padikkal has been in red-hot form and will want to pick up where he left off. With Phil Salt still injured, Jacob Bethell is set to open the batting with Virat Kohli once again.
