IPL 2025: Predicting DC’s playing XI for their clash against RCB

Delhi Capitals will be in action against Royal Challengers Bangalore in match number 46 of the eighteenth edition of the Indian Premier League at Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Both teams are eyeing a playoff spot as the tournament approaches its business end. Both Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore have 12 points each. However, Delhi sits in the second spot on account of a better net run rate than RCB. In their previous fixture at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, Delhi Capitals staged a comprehensive victory over RCB by 6 wickets. The visitors will look to turn the tables around in this reverse fixture. Both teams have played against each other on 32 occasions, with RCB winning 19 times in comparison to Delhi’s 12 victories.

Here is the list of eleven players who may feature for Delhi Capitals in this much important fixture against RCB on April 27th. The team is likely to stick to their winning eleven from last match.

Batters – Abhishek Porel, Karun Nair, KL Rahul, Tristan Stubbs, Ashutosh Sharma

Abhishek Porel and Karun Nair are anticipated to open the innings for the Delhi Capitals. Both batters have been in fine form recently. Porel also scored a half-century in his last innings against the Lucknow Supergiants. KL Rahul is likely to be the anchor of the team and play at the number three position. Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Sharma will be entrusted with the finishing duties for the team. Both the explosive batters boast a strike rate of over 150 in the death overs.

All-rounders – Axar Patel, Vipraj Nigam

Axar Patel and Vipraj Nigam are the likely two all-rounders to be part of the contest for Delhi. Both these players can play as floaters in different stages of an innings. Both of them can bat in the middle overs and dictate play with their spin when RCB batters take guard. The left-right duo can be a source of headaches for RCB with the number of variations they have in their arsenal.

Bowlers – Mitchell Starc, Dushmantha Chameera, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar

Mitchell Starc is expected to spearhead Delhi’s bowling attack. The inclusion of Dushmantha Chameera has added a bit more versatility to the bowling lineup. The Sri Lankan was economical in his last fixture. Kuldeep Yadav, Delhi’s leading wicket-taker, will shoulder the responsibility of picking wickets in the middle overs.
