Thu Apr 10 14:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Delhi Capitals Aim for Fourth Straight Win Against RCB in Bengaluru

**Bengaluru, India** – The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will face a stern test against the unbeaten Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 24th match of IPL 2025 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. DC, currently second in the points table with 6 points from three wins, will look to continue their winning streak. RCB, currently third with the same points tally, are hoping for their first home win of the season after a 3-1 start to their campaign.

Delhi captain Axar Patel won the toss and opted to bowl first, putting RCB’s batting lineup under immediate pressure. RCB’s innings started brightly with Phil Salt scoring a quick 37 before being run out. However, the early momentum was short-lived as wickets tumbled. Virat Kohli contributed a 22-run knock but couldn’t anchor the innings. Liam Livingstone and Jitesh Sharma offered little support as RCB struggled to maintain a high scoring rate. The team reached 102/4 at the 12-over mark.

The match marks a significant encounter given the head-to-head record between the two teams; RCB boasts a superior record against DC, having won 19 out of their 31 previous meetings. However, DC’s current form presents a formidable challenge. The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, known for its batting-friendly conditions, could play a crucial role.

The return of Faf du Plessis to the DC squad adds further intrigue, while RCB retained their playing XI. The match promises an exciting contest as the two teams battle for crucial points in the IPL 2025 standings. The news also includes the unfortunate update that CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad is out of the IPL due to an elbow fracture, with MS Dhoni returning to captaincy.
