Sun Apr 27 17:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Kohli Poised for Revenge Against Rahul in Delhi Clash

**New Delhi, India** – As Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) prepares to face Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday, all eyes are on the potential clash between Virat Kohli and KL Rahul. Rahul’s exuberant celebration after scoring 93 runs against RCB in Bengaluru earlier this month, which included a gesture suggesting the Chinnaswamy Stadium was his home ground, has sparked anticipation of a Kohli counter-attack.

Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar predicts Kohli will retaliate on his home turf, the Arun Jaitley Stadium – even boasting a ‘Virat Kohli Pavilion’ – with a show of dominance. “I think Virat would do a little bit differently…He will show that ‘OK, that pavilion in which you’re sitting, it’s mine’. Who’s the boss? Virat is the boss there,” Bangar stated on Star Sports.

Kohli, currently second in the IPL 2025 run charts with 392 runs, is just 26 runs away from claiming the Orange Cap. However, the top spot and a potential playoff berth are arguably more important. Both RCB and DC are tied on 12 points, making Sunday’s match a crucial encounter for both teams. A win would put either team in contention to overtake the Gujarat Titans for the top position in the standings, leaving them just one victory away from securing a playoff spot. The “Don’t poke the bear” mantra surrounding Kohli seems particularly relevant as the stage is set for a high-stakes showdown.
