In the IPL 2026 match against Punjab Kings (PBKS), Delhi Capitals (DC) emerged victorious by three wickets at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala.

After suffering a loss, PBKS' captain Shreyas Iyer said, "I won't beat around the bush; I'll just say fielding and bowling again. (If he thought 210 was a good score) Absolutely, I feel that it was 30 runs more on this wicket considering how the ball was seaming and there was variable bounce. (On bowling Chahal) There was absolutely a thought in my mind, but the way ball was seaming and the way it was helping seamers, I think if we would have executed our line and length precisely, we could have been able to extract wickets, but unfortunately again, we didn't. (on how to bowl here) Still into the surface. I always say that the hard length - short of a hard length - is the best ball, especially when a new batsman is coming in. It's not easy to hit because if you keep repeating those balls, at least one ball gives a chance of mis-hitting and you can get a wicket. We've been short of planning".
