DC vs RCB IPL 2026: Hosts Delhi Capitals will look to return to winning ways as they host Royal Challengers Bengaluru in match no. 39 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Monday. DC have managed to win only one out of their last 5 matches and are struggling in 7th place currently on the Points Table with only six points from 7 games.
Axar Patel’s side were are the receiving end of a humiliating loss against table-toppers Punjab Kings after failing to defend a 265-run target. KL Rahul became the first-ever Indian batter to post a 150-plus score in the 19 seasons of the Indian Premier League but even that knock went in vain as DC dropped multiple catches in the field including PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer twice.
Defending champions RCB, on the other hand, are comfortable near the top of the table and will be aiming for their second win in succession to close the gap to last year’s finalists PBKS. Rajat Patidar’s side currently have 10 points from 7 matches with 5 wins to their name, including a dominant win over Gujarat Titans in the last match led by Virat Kohli’s brilliant half-century.
“He is someone who keeps upping his standards. He reviews his game every season and works on areas of improvement. On the field, he is composed and makes very good decisions under pressure,” RCB mentor Dinesh Karthik said about skipper Rajat Patidar in the pre-match press conference in New Delhi on Sunday.
Karthik was also quick to praise RCB wicketkeeper and vice-captain Jitesh Sharma. “He has been very meticulous and is constantly working on his skills. He is definitely a better keeper now and that’s reflecting in the kind of catches he is taking,” Karthik said.
RCB, of course, hold a massive edge over DC when it comes to head-to-head clashes with 20 wins as compared to 13 losses till date. Even at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, RCB have managed to win 7 games while they have lost only 4 ties here.
