Will Lungi Ngidi play today in DC vs RCB IPL 2026 clash? Check latest injury update, probable playing XI, replacement options and match preview.
The Delhi Capitals will play their next match against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 27 at Arun Jaitley Stadium during the Indian Premier League 2026. Both teams need crucial points, making team selection a major talking point before the contest.
The Delhi Capitals face a fitness problem because their South African pacer Lungi Ngidi sustained an injury during the previous match against Punjab Kings. His availability could play a big role in DC’s bowling plans against an in-form RCB batting unit.
Lungi Ngidi suffered major injury during DC's last game against PBKS
Ngidi sustained his injury during Delhi's previous match when he tried to catch a ball near the boundary fence. He lost balance and landed with his body weight from an unstable position, which caused his head to strike the ground forcefully.
Medical staff rushed in immediately, and they transported the pacer off the field before he received hospital treatment for additional testing. The franchise received major relief from later reports, which confirmed his stable condition without any serious medical complications.

The fast bowler will receive special treatment from Delhi Capitals because they need to take extra precautions. Players must obtain complete medical approval before they can participate in games again because concussion protocols require strict procedures for handling head injuries.
Ngidi remains uncertain for the upcoming match against RCB because he currently shows doubt. Delhi plans to use either Dushmantha Chameera or Kyle Jamieson as replacement options if he becomes unavailable.
Probable Playing XI:
Delhi Capitals: KL Rahul, Pathum Nissanka, Nitish Rana, Sameer Rizvi, Tristan Stubbs, David Miller, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar, T Natarajan, Dushmantha Chameera/Kyle Jamieson
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli, Jacob Bethell, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar, Jitesh Sharma, Tim David, Krunal Pandya, Romario Shepherd, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rasikh Salam Dar, Josh Hazlewood
