The 46th match of IPL 2025 is being played between Delhi Capitals and RCB at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Where Royal Challengers Bangalore won the toss and invited Delhi to bat first. Both teams are in the top-4 in the points table. Delhi’s team is second and Bengaluru is at number three. DC and RCB would like to further strengthen themselves in the playoff race by winning the match.
After the toss, RCB captain Rajat Patidar said that we will bowl first. The wicket is very good for batting and I do not think it is going to change a lot and we like to chase the target. This is our first win at our house and we will try to continue playing good cricket. In every match we are trying to improve, so we want to keep learning. Bethel is replaced by Salt.
At the same time, Delhi captain Akshar Patel said that, this is also an advantage, but if we won the toss, then I think we would only bat and use the wicket in the second innings. The previous game did not have dew, but the game against Mumbai had a little dew. He (LSG) was two foreign batsmen at the top, so I wanted to bowl against him. I was bowling with good rhythm, the plan was not to bowl four consecutive overs, but I kept bowling, so I continued it. Faf is back and we will decide the impact player according to the situation.
RCB’s playing XI- Virat Kohli, Jacob Bethel, Rajat Patidar (captain), Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Tim David, Krunal Pandya, Romario Shepherd, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Suyash Sharma, Josh Hazelwood, Yash Dayal.
Playing XI of Delhi Capitals- Faf du Plessis, Abhishek Porel, Karun Nair, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Akshar Patel (captain), Triston Stabs, Wipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Dushmantha Chamera, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar.
