As it progresses, in match number 39, the Delhi Capitals (DC) will host the defending champions, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on April 27. As the IPL returns to the national capital, fans will be eager to see their home team come out victorious, but there will be equal cheers for homeboy Virat Kohli, who plays for RCB.
To meet the demand of the fans, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has come out to ease the commute by extending the last train timings. The last train timings have been revised only for April 27 in order to ensure a smooth and hassle-free journey for fans amid the heightened security around the stadium premises.

RCB look to avenge their previous defeat vs DC in IPL 2026
As the two teams are once again set to lock horns later today, the Rajat Patidar & Co will look to take revenge for their last defeat, where they succumbed to a 6-wicket loss. Moreover, the Bengaluru-based franchise will be coming high on confidence, having won their previous game against Gujarat Titans (GT). The Axar Patel-led DC will look to come out after pondering upon what went wrong for them in their last two games in order to seal a win tonight in their own den.
