RCB vs DC: Top 5 Dream11 fantasy picks for match 26 of IPL 2026

The RCB vs DC match of the IPL 2026 will be played in Bengaluru on Saturday.

The defending champion, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), are ready to take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in the afternoon game of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 on Saturday. This contest has a scheduled start of 3:30 PM IST at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. This game will see the home team wearing the green kit.

RCB have been in red-hot form, and they will be keen to get another win here. Rajat Patidar and co. are playing at their blistering best. DC are coming into this contest on the back of two straight defeats.

They have looked a little scratchy on the field. Their batters are not scoring enough runs to support their bowlers. Both sides have several superstars, making it a high-voltage clash for the fans.

Hence, we have suggested five players from the RCB vs DC clash who could be a perfect choice for your Dream11 teams on various fantasy cricket platforms.

Top Dream11 fantasy picks for the RCB vs DC clash

1. Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli is the second-highest scorer in the IPL 2026. He has scored 228 runs in five innings at an average of 57 and a strike rate of 158.33. He missed a half-century by one run in the previous game.

Virat was unfit, but as an impact player also, he produced a match-winning knock for RCB. He scored a fifty the last time these two teams met and will be a big wicket for the opposition.

2. Phil Salt

Phil Salt has produced a match-winning knock after a low score this season. He scored a 36-ball 78 against Mumbai Indians (MI) and won the Player of the Match award. He was part of DC a few seasons back and had a great season but was released later on.

Hence, he will like to produce a great knock against his former team. His ability to play quick cameos makes him an ideal choice for a Dream11 team.

3. Rajat Patidar

The RCB captain, Rajat Patidar, is in the form of his life. He is not just scoring runs; he is scoring them at a rapid pace. Rajat has scored 222 runs in five innings at an average of 55.50 and a brilliant strike rate of 213.46. He has hit 21 sixes, which is the most this season. The form he is in, you must pick him for your team.

4. KL Rahul

The last time these two teams played in Bengaluru, KL Rahul led DC to a win with an unbeaten 93 off 53. That is what Rahul brings to the table.

He is a Bengaluru boy, and loves playing in Bengaluru and against also RCB, which he has said many times in several interviews. He is also in good form with the bat, and being a keeper, he also gives a chance to earn extra points.

5. Pathum Nissanka

Pathum Nissanka entered the IPL 2026 with good international form. He missed in the first few games, but the last three innings have been pretty good. He has scored 44, 41, and 42 in the last three innings.

These knocks have come at a good rate also. These are good signs, and it is a matter of time when he delivers a big knock. So, you should pick him for your Dream11 team.
