New Delhi:

The 62nd game of the ongoing IPL (Indian Premier League) 2026 sees Delhi Capitals taking on Rajasthan Royals. The two sides will meet at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on May 17th. It is worth noting that the clash against Delhi is a golden opportunity for Rajasthan as a win would see them break into the top four, considering Punjab Kings lose their clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. 

Speaking of Delhi Capitals, the side sits in eighth place in the standings with five wins and seven losses in 12 matches with 10 points to their name. Delhi will be aiming to register a win, as they would still be in the playoffs race and could face elimination if they face a defeat against Rajasthan. 

As for RR, the side is in fifth place in the standings with 12 points to their name in 11 matches, and it could be interesting to see how they fare against DC.
