In a remarkable IPL 2026 clash on May 2, the Delhi Capitals triumphed over the Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets, marking their highest-ever chase of 226 runs in the tournament's history. Former West Indies fast bowler Ian Bishop commended Mitchell Starc's return to form, as the left-arm pacer took three wickets in his first match back from injury. Bishop had initially expressed concerns about Starc's rhythm following a lengthy break, but the Australian bowler delivered a fiery performance that kept the opposition under pressure. The Capitals' chase was anchored by a strong 110-run opening partnership between KL Rahul and Pathum Nissanka, with Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Sharma finishing the innings with five balls to spare. This victory marked Delhi's fourth win of the season, placing them sixth in the league standings, while Rajasthan remained fourth.
