Rajasthan Royals, PBKS and Delhi Capitals – IPL 2026 Previews – The Cricket Podcast
In our final preview show, The Cricket Podcast finally get around to looking at last year's runners up, Punjab Kings, alongside Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals.
The Royals may have given away Sanju Samson, but they've got their new superstar now. A year older, maybe a year better, we wonder whether the now 15-year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi can show his prowess over a full IPL season. With some moves made to shore up the middle order, can RR deliver a better season?
PBKS were the nearly men last year, and have stuck with much the same formula. Shreyas Iyer's men are aiming for solidity and competence to see them through this year, within a tournament more commonly sprinkled with extremes. Is it finally their time?
Last but not least, we turn to Delhi. With King Legend back at the top of the order and a strong looking bowling line-up, could they be the dark horses of the tournament?
