Delhi Capitals finally found success with their opening partnership as they successfully chased down 225 runs against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag won the toss and chose to bat first, but the early dismissals of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal put them on the back foot. However, Parag stepped up and scored 90 runs off 50 balls, supported by Donovan Ferreira’s late onslaught, leading RR to a total of 225 in the first innings.
Despite Jofra Archer’s strong bowling performance, Delhi Capitals’ Pathum Nissanka (62 off 33 balls) and KL Rahul (75 off 40 balls) set a solid foundation with a strong opening partnership. DC managed to reach 70/0 by the end of the PowerPlay, marking the first time they had achieved this feat without losing a wicket this season. Nissanka was dismissed shortly after, but Rahul continued to anchor the innings until the 15th over, with Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Sharma finishing the chase to end DC’s three-match losing streak.
The match took place on May 01, 2026, and was a crucial win for Delhi Capitals as they showcased a strong batting performance to secure victory over Rajasthan Royals.
