RR vs DC Live: KL Rahul and Abishek Porel open for Delhi CapitalsDC vs RR Live Score, IPL 2026: Hello and welcome to the live coverage of Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals on TimesofIndia.com. DC return to the Arun Jaitley Stadium for yet another do-or-die clash as they take on Rajasthan Royals in a contest that could heavily shape the IPL 2026 playoff race. DC kept their slim qualification hopes alive with a thrilling chase in Dharamsala, but their campaign still hangs by a thread after a disastrous home run that has produced just one win in six matches. Their batting remains fragile, with KL Rahul’s form dipping and the top order repeatedly collapsing in the Powerplay. The middle order, led by Axar Patel, David Miller and Ashutosh Sharma, rescued them in the previous game, but Delhi continue to search for consistency both with the bat and ball. Their bowling attack has also struggled badly, with most bowlers conceding at over 10 runs an over this season.Rajasthan Royals arrive with problems of their own. After winning four games in a row earlier in the season, they have slipped outside the top four following five defeats in their last seven matches. However, they remain in a stronger position than DC with two extra points and a game in hand. Much of the focus will again be on 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, whose explosive starts have lit up the tournament. But RR’s batting has lacked stability, with Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel and captain Riyan Parag all struggling for rhythm recently. Their bowling attack too has lost momentum, making Sunday’s clash a battle between two inconsistent sides desperately trying to keep their playoff hopes alive.
