Thu Apr 10 14:30:00 UTC 2025: ## RCB Post 163/7 Against Unbeaten DC in IPL 2025 Match
**Bengaluru, India** – Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) set a 163-run target for Delhi Capitals (DC) in their IPL 2025 clash at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Thursday. Winning the toss, DC captain Axar Patel opted to bowl first.
Phil Salt (37) and Tim David (37) top-scored for RCB, but the Bangalore side struggled to maintain momentum throughout their innings. Several key batsmen, including Virat Kohli (22), failed to convert their starts. Kohli’s innings was highlighted by a couple of sixes, but he ultimately fell short of a significant contribution.
The RCB innings was punctuated by regular wickets, with Kuldeep Yadav picking up two crucial scalps. The Bangalore team eventually finished their 20 overs at 163/7. Mitchell Starc’s expensive second over (30 runs) proved costly for DC.
While RCB have had a strong start to the tournament, winning three out of their four matches, DC remains undefeated in IPL 2025. The match is anticipated to be a close contest, particularly given Virat Kohli’s excellent form this season. The RCB captain, Rajat Patidar, expressed his desire to bowl first after the toss, while Patel highlighted Faf du Plessis’s return to the DC squad.
The match continues with Delhi Capitals chasing 164 for victory.
