The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 shifts to the Ekana Stadium today, April 1, for a high-stakes Match 5. This encounter marks a new chapter for both sides: Axar Patel leads the Delhi Capitals (DC) as full-time captain, bolstered by the massive addition of KL Rahul to their top order.
Across the dugout, Rishabh Pant returns to Lucknow, continuing his leadership of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) after a record ₹27 crore signing. With Ekana’s pitch expected to favor DC’s spin twins, Axar and Kuldeep Yadav, Pant’s aggressive batting unit faces a stern opening test. Expect a packed house and electric fan engagement as these revamped heavyweights clash for early season dominance.
