We almost had two rain washouts back-to-back this IPL season, but the weather finally played nice for yesterday’s match between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Mumbai Indians (MI). After how things turned out, though, MI fans probably wished for rain! As a 15-year-old boy smashed the world’s best bowler right now. Then, Yashasvi Jaiswal went on to hammer the whole MI bowling attack. This helped RR put up a huge score of 150 runs in just a revised 11 overs. MI’s batsmen just couldn’t recover—their innings fell apart, and they lost by 27 runs.
Now we look ahead to Match 14 of the 2026 Tata IPL. It’s Delhi Capitals (DC) taking on winless Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.

Pitch and Weather Conditions:
The Delhi surface is expected to serve up a high-scoring contest. Rain has been sporadic leading up to match day, and the forecasts predict thunderstorms and light rain around 4pm. While the weather is likely to clear up before the match begins, the pitch – under covers – might hold extra moisture and assist seamers in the initial phase of the match.

KL Rahul VS Mohammed Siraj- Is this what the Wicket Keeper-Batsman needs to get going?
KL Rahul is in a massive slump right now—he’s scored just 1 run so far in IPL 2026. To put that in perspective, even Jasprit Bumrah has more runs than him this season. The star wicket-keeper batsman desperately wants to fire up, and there’s no better chance than today against Mohammed Siraj.
Rahul owns an awesome record against Siraj: he’s smashed 135 runs off 79 balls across 9 innings, with a strike rate of 171. Siraj has taken his wicket only once. This head-to-head could be just the spark KL Rahul needs to get his IPL campaign rolling.
Prediction:
Delhi Capitals are on a hot streak, winning their first two matches convincingly. It looks like they’ll grab a third straight victory today against Gujarat Titans.
GT has shown real promise this season but lacks that winning edge—they dropped two tight games to Punjab and Rajasthan. They have the talent to turn things around, yet this clash feels like DC’s to dominate.
Playing at home gives DC a bit of the upper hand, unlike struggling GT. Both their batting and bowling units are firing when it matters most, and expect the same today to seal another win.
Good luck to both teams!
