In a high-stakes IPL 2025 clash on Thursday, Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper Axar Patel won the toss and chose to bowl first against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The match promises thrilling action as both teams aim to maintain their strong early-season momentum.

RCB have stuck with their winning combination, fielding an unchanged Playing XI. Meanwhile, DC welcome back star batter Faf du Plessis into the lineup after he missed the previous match. KL Rahul is expected to anchor the middle order, while Sameer Rizvi has been left out for this game.

All eyes will be on RCB’s talisman Virat Kohli, who is on the verge of making history by becoming the first Indian batter to score 100 half-centuries in T20 cricket—a milestone that would add another feather to his illustrious cap.

Delhi Capitals are currently the only unbeaten team in IPL 2025, having won all three of their matches so far. RCB, too, have been in red-hot form, securing three wins from four outings. Their ability to adapt to different conditions and opponents has been a key factor in their strong start.

Current Score:

• RCB’s Batting Performance: After 2 overs, RCB stands at 23/0.
  • Phil Salt: 12 runs off 8 balls (1 four, 1 six)​
  • Virat Kohli: 6 runs off 4 balls (1 four)​

Key Highlights:

• Phil Salt initiated an aggressive start, notably hitting a six off Axar Patel in the second over.
• Virat Kohli, aiming for his 100th T20 half-century, began confidently with a boundary against Axar Patel.

With both teams in top form, fans can expect a closely fought contest at the stadium tonight.
