RCB won the toss and chose to bowl first against Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026. Delhi made three changes to their lineup, bringing in Kyle Jamieson, Dushmantha Chameera, and Parakh.
NEW DELHI: RCB skipper Rajat Patidar won the toss, and opted to bowl first against Axar Patel's inconsistent Delhi Capitals in Delhi on Monday.
RCB went into the match with the same side and did not make any changes.
However, Delhi Capitals made three changes to their playing XI from the last match. Jamieson and Chameera came in, alongside opening batter Parakh.
"We will bowl first. This venue is a high-scoring ground, it will not make much difference, we will try to put them under pressure in the second innings. The most important thing is different players coming up and deliverying in different matches. We have played some good cricket and continue to carry that momentum. It is in the past, we are looking to play good cricket," RCB captain Rajat Patidar said at the toss.
Meanwhile, DC captain Axar Patel said, " I would have fielded if I won the toss. The ground dimensions are small, the pitch also gets better, so we would have chased as well. In the IPL, you score 264 and loss, but it is a long tournament is long, we had a good game with bat and ball, if we had held our chances then the result would be different. You need to keep continuing doing the work, even our best fielders drop catches, so luck is not on our side but we can sit around thinking about it. We have two fast bowlers - Chameera and Jamieson are playing. We have to strike in the powerplay, though Mukesh has done well, he needs a break and we are bringing in international bowlers."
