IPL 2026 Memes: Hilarious Reactions from DC vs RR, Match 62 at Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi

Delhi Capitals (DC) clinched a clinical five-wicket win against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 62 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday, May 17, to keep themselves alive in the race for the playoffs.

RR started with their opening duo of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi firing, but it did not last long, as the former departed in the second over itself. In came Dhruv Jurel, but he was playing second fiddle as Sooryavanshi took charge through the powerplay and a couple of overs beyond for his 46 off 21 deliveries before Madhav Tiwari got the better of him.

Later, Jurel and skipper Riyan Parag made light work of the middle overs, staging a 72-run stand for the third wicket before Mitchell Starc stole the show with three wickets in the third over of his spell. Starc’s spell changed the complexion of the game completely, as RR secured only 193-8 after 20 overs, at least 20-25 runs short of where they would otherwise have liked to end up, as Parag himself admitted to. 

Apart from Starc’s four-for and Madhav Tiwari’s couple of scalps, Lungi Ngidi also stood out for the Capitals, picking up two wickets towards the death but, most importantly, conceding just 24 runs off his four. Captain Axar Patel was also quite frugal in his four overs, having allowed for only 29 off his bowling. Now it was up to the batters to take the onus and do the task that was cut out for them.

The openers, KL Rahul and Abishek Porel, did not waste any time at all, accumulating 72 in the powerplay itself. In just 10 overs, the two had put up 105 runs on the board without any trouble whatsoever, but Porel had to make his way back to the huddle after holing out to Donovan Ferreira in the deep off Brijesh Sharma. Sahil Parakh couldn’t do much and was undone by Jofra Archer in the thirteenth over.

A couple of overs hence, Rahul also chopped one onto the stumps off a Dasun Shanaka delivery, but Axar kept his cool and kept the scoreboard ticking, with the run rate being fairly in reach. At one point, it looked quite tricky towards the death, but Ferreira bowling the eighteenth over meant that Axar and David Miller churned out a couple of sixes to pull things further in their favour.

There was a slight hiccup as Miller gave one to Shanaka at the deep mid-wicket in the penultimate over, but it did not matter, as Ashutosh Sharma (18* off 5) arrived at the crease to finish things quickly with his brisk cameo to seal the deal. Delhi eventually won the match with five balls and as many wickets remaining.
