DC vs KKR IPL 2026 in Delhi: Match Preview
Delhi Capitals take the field at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday for the last time this season, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Match 62 of IPL 2026 brings Rajasthan Royals to the capital in a doubleheader, and for Delhi it represents one of only two remaining chances to salvage what has been a deeply frustrating home campaign.
They have managed just one win in six matches played in Delhi, a record well short of what a playoff-chasing team needs in familiar conditions.
DC’s only path to the playoffs is to win their remaining two games and hope the results elsewhere line up perfectly in their favor.

Meanwhile, RR have not played competitive cricket since May 9, when Gujarat Titans handed them a 77-run drubbing in Jaipur.
Twelve points from 11 games leaves them well within reach of a playoff spot, and three games remaining give them plenty of breathing room.
