IPL Points Table 2026 | Delhi Capitals Keep Play-Off Hopes Alive With Win Over Rajasthan Royals

Abhishek Porel and KL Rahul hit fluent half-centuries as Delhi Capitals overhauled a competitive Rajasthan Royals total to register a five-wicket victory in their Indian Premier League clash on Sunday. Porel, playing only his third IPL match of the season, looked in fine touch during his 31-ball 51, while KL Rahul bounced back from a couple of underwhelming outings with a composed 56 off 42 deliveries. The opening pair stitched together a match-winning 105-run partnership that laid the foundation for Delhi Capitals’ chase of 194, before Axar Patel scored an unbeaten 34 off 18 deliveries to complete the job in 19-point-2 overs. Earlier, Mitchell Starc starred with the ball for Delhi Capitals, producing a devastating spell to restrict Rajasthan Royals to 193 for 8. Starc ripped through the Royals middle order in a dramatic 15th over, dismissing a well-set Riyan Parag for 51, Donovan Ferreira for nought and Ravi Singh for 4, narrowly missing out on a hat-trick. Despite the collapse, Rajasthan Royals posted a competitive total thanks to half-centuries from skipper Parag and Dhruv Jurel, who made 53 off 40 balls, while young opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi contributed a valuable 46 at the top of the order. #IPL2026 #MatchPrediction #IPL #LiveScore #IPL #CricketMatch #IPLTodayMatch #RajasthanRoyals #ChennaiSuperKings #SunrisersHyderabad #PunjabKings #LucknowSuperGiants #MumbaiIndians #RoyalChallengersBengaluru About NDTV (English news channel): NDTV is India's Most-Trusted News Broadcaster with the latest updates in news, sports, entertainment and much more from within India and around the world.
