Delhi Capitals lead Rajasthan Royals 17 wins to 15 after 32 IPL meetings through 17 May 2026. Delhi won both games in 2026: a 226-run chase in Jaipur and a five-wicket win at home. The all-time figures include the franchise’s Delhi Daredevils years and count a 2025 Super Over victory for Delhi.
That Super Over needs explaining. In April 2025, both sides made 188 in their regular 20 overs; the match was tied at the end of regulation. Rajasthan then made 11/2 in the one-over decider, and Delhi reached 13/0 to win the match. A scorecard may therefore label the regulation innings a tie, even while a winner-assigned head-to-head table gives Delhi the victory. The distinction matters more than a bare win-loss number.
