In preparation for the crucial IPL 2026 match against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 27, former Indian captain Kris Srikkanth has urged the Delhi Capitals (DC) to make two key changes to their playing XI. He believes that DC must enhance their pace attack by substituting Auqib Nabi with Dushmanta Chameera. Additionally, Srikkanth recommends dropping struggling opener Pathum Nissanka in favor of Abishek Porel. He emphasized the importance of Lungi Ngidi, who has been DC's standout bowler this season with seven wickets in six innings, stating that without him, the team's bowling lineup would be significantly weakened. DC is currently facing a challenging stretch, having lost four out of their last five matches, placing them seventh in the points table. However, they did manage a victory against RCB earlier in the season, winning by six wickets in a thrilling chase of 176 runs.
