IPL 2025: Rajat Patidar＊s Bengaluru eye fourth win against unbeaten Delhi 〞 ＆Virat is ready to roar against DC＊ say fans
Rajat Patidar-led Royal Challengers Bengaluru will take on Axar Patel＊s unbeaten Delhi Capitals in a key IPL 2025 match at Chinnaswamy. With both teams in top form, fans are waiting to see which captain leads better under pressure tonight.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru will play against Delhi Capitals in Match 24 today, April 10. The match will unfold at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, at 7:30 PM. Both sides have had solid starts this season 〞 RCB, currently third on the points table, have won 3 of their 4 matches, while Delhi sit just ahead at number two, unbeaten with 3 wins in 3 games.
Despite Delhi＊s current form, history leans in RCB＊s favour 〞 the two sides have met 31 times in IPL history, and RCB has emerged victorious on 19 occasions, compared to Delhi＊s 11 wins. Their most recent face-off in IPL 2024 saw RCB dominate with a 47-run win.
Home advantage or unbeaten momentum?
The Chinnaswamy Stadium is known for its high-scoring games and short boundaries. Traditionally, teams batting second here have had the upper hand, with scores in the 180每190 range frequently being chased down under lights 〞 thanks, in part, to the dew factor.
RCB might take comfort in their strong record at home and will hope their key players deliver once again. Virat Kohli＊s consistency on this ground, coupled with explosive batting support from Liam Livingstone 〞 who has notched up 136 runs against Delhi＊s bowling previously 〞 and Tim David＊s fearsome strike rate, will be crucial in setting or chasing a target.
However, Delhi＊s perfect record so far in this IPL can＊t be ignored. Axar Patel＊s leadership, both tactically and as an all-rounder, has been central to their success. With Starc＊s firepower, Kuldeep＊s control, and Axar＊s sharp spells, Delhi＊s bowling attack looks ready even for a batting-friendly track like Bengaluru.
Key match-ups to watch tonight
One of the major deciding factors tonight will be the showdown between RCB＊s aggressive top order and Delhi＊s bowling unit. Kohli＊s form could make the difference, but Delhi have the firepower to halt him 〞 particularly through Kuldeep Yadav, who has maintained a rate of just 7.50 against RCB and is known for picking up key wickets.
The middle overs will be another key battleground. If Delhi＊s spinners manage to stifle RCB＊s middle order, they could swing the game. Conversely, if RCB batters can target Kuldeep and Axar and build momentum through the middle, they might take the game away.
For RCB＊s bowling, Bhuvneshwar Kumar＊s spell with the new ball will be critical in applying early pressure on DC＊s top order.
