IPL 2026, PBKS vs DC Today Match: Delhi Capitals spinner Kuldeep Yadav has been left out of the playing XI for Match 55 Indian Premier League 2026 against Punjab Kings at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala on Monday, May 11, 2026. Delhi captain Axar Patel confirmed at the toss that the side had made five changes for the must-win encounter.
Kuldeep’s exclusion appears to be linked to his recent poor run of form in the tournament. The left-arm wrist spinner failed to pick up a wicket in each of his previous three matches and struggled to make an impact during the middle overs. With Delhi fighting to stay alive in the playoff race, the management opted to reshuffle the combination and bring fresh options into the side for the high-pressure contest.
