Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel has won the toss and elected to bowl in Match No. 62 of the IPL 2026 against the Rajasthan Royals. The contest will start at 07:30 pm IST.
"We will bowl first. When you win, you feel good. We were fine when we were not winning. However, winning gives confidence. I don't think about the wicket. We will plan accordingly. We feel bad when the decision doesn't go in our favour, but it is important to leave it on the field. It is important to execute your plans," Axar Patel said.
RR skipper Riyan Parag was not sure about the wicket, so he was happy to lose the toss.
