    IPL 2026: Both Teams Unchanged As DC Elect To Bowl First Against RCB

    Both Delhi Capitals: Both Delhi Capitals and defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru are unchanged as visitors skipper Axar Patel won the toss and elected to bowl first in match 26 of IPL 2026 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday.

    RCB have started their title defence with four wins in five matches, while DC arrive after a week’s break with an aim to end their two-game losing streak. “The wicket looks nice and hard. Since it’s a day game, it might be a bit slow. Also, Chinnaswamy is usually a chasing ground, so we would like to chase. That’s why we decided to bowl first,” said Axar after winning the toss.

    On having a long break in the competition, Axar said, “If you’re winning, the break would be bad. But since we lost the last two matches, the break helped us regroup. Now we are back together as a unit and ready to start with fresh momentum. Obviously we are looking at the opposition but we are focusing on our own strengths and sticking to our plans. We'll follow our plans and see what happens.”
