SRH's Strongest XI for IPL 2026 Clash with Delhi Capitals

The Sunrisers Hyderabad are ready to flex their muscles against the Delhi Capitals in Match 31 of IPL 2026 on April 21 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. After back-to-back home victories against the Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings, SRH is buzzing with confidence. They’ve found their groove, and with their batting order starting to click, this encounter could be a cracker.

Leading the charge at the top will be Abhishek Sharma, who’s been on fire this season with a remarkable strike rate of 229.26, including a blistering 15-ball half-century. Ishan Kishan, the stand-in skipper, is also in fine touch with 213 runs at a strike rate of 188.49. The middle order will see Heinrich Klaasen—currently the Orange Cap holder with 283 runs—playing a pivotal role as the anchor. Alongside him, Salil Arora and Aniket Verma will look to provide explosive finishes, while Nitish Kumar Reddy adds depth and pace with the ball.

The bowling attack features the dynamic duo of Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain, who shone on debut with four wickets each against the Royals. Eshan Malinga is riding high after a player-of-the-match performance, and Shivang Kumar’s wrist spin will be critical in the middle overs.

Here’s the predicted XI for SRH against DC: Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan (C), Heinrich Klaasen, Salil Arora (WK), Aniket Verma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shivang Kumar, Praful Hinge, Sakib Hussain, Eshan Malinga, with Harsh Dubey as the Impact Player. Will this lineup secure another win for SRH? Only time will tell!
