Delhi Capitals have never won an IPL trophy despite trying since day one! That’s gotta change in 2026 under Axar Patel’s captaincy. The Delhi Capitals IPL 2026 Schedule has finally been announced!
DC IPL 2026 Match Fixture
DC starts their campaign on April 1 against Lucknow Super Giants away. The opening Match Fixture happens in Lucknow instead of the home. BCCI released the first four matches in the initial Schedule announcement.
The complete Fixture list comes later after the election dates are finalized. Every game matters for DC breaking their title drought desperately. The Schedule puts pressure on them to deliver from match one.
Last season, Delhi started brilliantly under Axar Patel’s leadership initially. Then everything collapsed mid-season frustratingly for fans and players. This year’s Fixture list gives them redemption chances.
DC Squad Breakdown for IPL 2026
KL Rahul headlines the team after missing India’s T20I team. He’s got something to prove now with bat performances. The team also features Nitish Rana returning to his state team.
Prithvi Shaw rejoins the team after going unsold at the auctions shockingly! The talented opener gets another chance to prove himself here. Kuldeep Yadav wants to bounce back after being benched during the T20 World Cup.
The overseas contingent looks absolutely stacked in this DC Squad honestly. Mitchell Starc, Tristan Stubbs, Lungi Ngidi, and David Miller bring experience. That Squad depth should handle pressure situations better now.
