Virat Kohli Became the first player in history to reach the milestone of 9000 IPL runs against the Capitals. He looked in great form as usual and scored 351 runs at an average of 162.50. He has been the anchor in the batting lineup but now faces the bowlers in the powerplay and scores runs at a strike rate of 161 in the first six overs. Jacob Bethel is expected to retain his place at the top of the order, with no update yet on Phil Salt's fitness. The English star is yet to make any significant mark in the 2026 IPL, but his talent is undeniable.
Devdutt Padikkal has evolved into a more impressive and aggressive version of himself, taking on both spinners and fast bowlers from the start. Batting at number three, he has provided pace to the innings and while he has scored 242 runs, his strike rate of 192.06 is the most special for the defending champions.
