RCB started its campaign by defeating KKR by 7 wickets in his house. He then defeated CSK by 50 runs – this was his first win against CSK in Chepak after 2008. While RCB lost to GT in his home.

Royal Challengers Bangalore will have to be vigilant before the Delhi Capitals clash. The team has won against Kolkata, Chennai and Mumbai, while the only necklace came from Gujarat Titans on the Pitch of Chinnaswamy Stadium. Now RCB is facing Delhi which has won on different pitches. RCB’s freshness is high when Virat Kohli returns to form, but he will have to deal with Mitchell Starc’s speed and Kuldeep Yadav’s spin challenge. Stark has taken 9 wickets so far, while Kuldeep is also taking wickets with affordable bowling.
Here, RCB captain Rajat Patidar is in good rhythm and plays comfortable against spinners. Delhi will be hopeful that Akshar Patel proves to be effective this time, who is craving for the wicket so far. At the same time, stopping Delhi’s aggressive batsman KL Rahul will be a challenge for RCB bowlers. Faf duplessis’s fitness would also be eyeing, as he could not play in the last match. If Faf lands in the field, the match will be more interesting. Overall, the match will be full of many exciting clashes.
