"Chasing has been better and happy to lose the toss. We have had come ups and downs in our previous games. A few injuries here and there, we have one change. Jaddu misses out and Ravi Singh makes his debut," said Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag.

"We will bowl first. It feels good if we win and the confidence also grows. Tripurana Vijay makes his debut. We will try to bat and bowl well no matter how the wicket behaves," said Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel.

Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel has won the toss and opted to bowl first against Rajasthan Royals in their IPL 2026 game at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.

Everyone will be interested to see how Mitchell Starc can stop a marauding Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who has hit 40 sixes in 11 games while scoring 440 runs at a stunning strike-rate of 236.55.

Of late, DC have been playing on tracks which aren't exactly very high scoring but the lack of bite in their international spin attack, comprising skipper Axar Patel (10 wickets from 12 games) and Kuldeep Yadav (7 wickets from 11 games), has been the problem.

No teenager since the genius Sachin Tendulkar has captured the public imagination quite like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, the schoolboy from Samastipur in Bihar, who already boasts a sizeable fan base. His 'Capital Debut' at the Ferozeshah Kotla is no less than the cricketing equivalent of a 'Met Gala' with the who's who of NCR clamouring for free passes.

While DC's qualification chances (10 points from 12 games) are already slim, a defeat would officially knock them out of the playoff race. RR, on the other hand, have 12 points from 11 games. For a clear-cut entry, they need to win all three of their remaining matches.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's audacious strokeplay will come up against seam-and-swing master Mitchell Starc as Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals lock horns in a high-stakes IPL "Sunday Suspense" clash, with playoff hopes hanging by a thread.
