Delhi Capitals will look to continue their IPL 2026 campaign when they take on Punjab Kings in Match 35 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.

DC, led by Axar Patel are a struggling unit with just three wins in six games, and now will face a strong challenge in PBKS. DC will want to win this important clash and solidify their position in the points table. 

Top-order: Pathum Nissanka, KL Rahul (wk), Nitish Rana

Delhi Capitals will continue to open with Pathum Nissanka despite his recent failures at the top. Till Mitchell Starc’s arrival in IPL 2026, they can afford to have an overseas opening slot. KL Rahul remains an important cog in the batting order. Nitish Rana made a solid comeback against SRH, and will continue at No.3. 

Middle-order: Sameer Rizvi, Axar Patel (capt), David Miller, Tristan Stubbs

Sameer Rizvi had a solid start to the IPL 2026 with two back-to-back match winning knocks, but has fallen off in the last few innings. Captain Axar Patel adds immense value to the side with his all-round abilities. Miller and Stubbs form a formidable duo at the lower order. 

Bowlers: Lungi Ngidi, Kuldeep Yadav, T Natarajan, Mukesh Kumar

Lungi Ngidi leads this bowling attack with his pace bowling. He has been their main wicket-taker and is being supported well by T Natarajan and Mukesh Kumar. Kuldeep Yadav remains a solid option with his wrist spin.
