IPL 2026, RR vs DC Today Match: Delhi Capitals will take on Rajasthan Royals in Match 43 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, on Friday, May 1, 2026. RR, led by Riyan Parag, come into the clash with strong momentum, while DC, led by Axar Patel, are looking to bounce back after a series of disappointing performances.
