Delhi Capitals

Axar Patel has led Delhi with calm authority, especially in pressure moments. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball makes him a central figure in DC’s setup. His leadership is further strengthened by the presence of Faf du Plessis as vice-captain and KL Rahul as the senior wicketkeeper-batter.

Delhi’s batting is deep and aggressive — with KL Rahul, Faf du Plessis, and Jake Fraser-McGurk forming the top. Tristan Stubbs and Donovan Ferreira add the X-factor in the middle, while Axar Patel and Sameer Rizvi bolster the lower order.

DC nurtures a battery of bowlers with Mitchell Starc and Kuldeep Yadav which surely can worry most batsmen. Dushmantha Chameera and T Natarajan provide death over pace and fierceness, while Mohit Sharma and Mukesh Kumar brings variety to the attack.

Delhi Capitals took on Chennai Super Kings in their last outing on April 05, 2025, in Chennai. Batting first, they posted a strong total of 183/6, with multiple batters contributing.

RCB vs. DC Outfield Report

 M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru 

The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is a paradise for batters, with short boundaries and a flat surface. High-scoring encounters are common, and bowlers often struggle to contain runs, especially in the death overs. Spinners might find some grip in the second innings if the pitch wears down slightly.

Bengaluru is expected to be warm and pleasant, with evening temperatures around 28–30°C. Humidity will be moderate, and there is no significant chance of rain, ensuring an uninterrupted contest under the lights.

At Chinnaswamy, first-innings scores of 190+ are considered competitive, but even totals over 210 have been chased down in the past. The lowest defendable score hovers around 160–170, depending on bowling quality. Toss-winning captains often prefer chasing due to dew and shorter boundaries
