DC vs RCB IPL 2025 Today: Who Will Lead the Points Table?
Big game today! It’s a battle for the Number 1 spot as the ‘Dilwalo ki Delhi Capitals’ take on the ‘Royal Kings of Bengaluru’. A very exciting clash to watch! Both sides are packed with talent and in great form — expect fireworks as they fight for the top of the IPL 2025 table!
Delhi Capital strong Backbones – DC VS RCB IPL 2025
Delhi Capitals’ batting this season has been heavily anchored by the brilliance of KL Rahul, who has already piled up 323 runs in just 7 matches. Ever since the Australia tour and the Champions Trophy, Rahul has been in scintillating form, carrying his purple patch seamlessly into IPL 2025. His batting not only reflects pure class but also tremendous composure under pressure — qualities that have been vital in DC’s climb to 12 points on the table. While the Capitals are performing well across departments, the heavy reliance on Rahul is a concern. If he falters, the middle order — featuring power hitters like Rovman Powell, Tristan Stubbs, Ashutosh Sharma, and the experienced Karun Nair — must step up and shoulder the responsibility to take the innings deep. A strong collective effort from the batting unit is crucial for Delhi Capitals to sustain their winning momentum.
While the batting has revolved around Rahul, the true backbone of Delhi Capitals’ campaign has been their outstanding bowling attack. Mitchell Starc has led the charge with fiery spells that have rattled opposition batters, while Kuldeep Yadav has bowled like a dream, adding a silky, match-winning touch in the middle overs. His variations and flight have been the “cream on the cake,” often breaking partnerships at crucial moments. Mukesh Kumar, meanwhile, has been the perfect support act — pushing pressure onto the opponents with sharp, deceptive bowling that leaves batsmen guessing. Together, this dynamic bowling trio has made it incredibly difficult for teams to judge the conditions, making Delhi’s bowling unit one of the deadliest in IPL 2025 so far.
RCB’s Collective Team Effort Powers Them into IPL 2025 Top 4 -DC VS RCB IPL 2025
Virat Kohli is in brilliant form this season, scoring 392 runs in 9 matches, and he is just 25 runs away from wearing the Orange Cap. He has been the major reason behind Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s strong position, sitting with 12 points after 6 wins. Like Delhi Capitals, RCB also needs strong support from their middle order. If Virat gets out early, players like Rajat Patidar and Anuj Rawat have been stepping up and playing important innings to take the game deep. Overall, RCB’s batting looks stronger compared to DC, although big-hitter Tim David is yet to show his full aggression. The team will be hoping for a strong performance from him soon.
On the bowling side, RCB has been impressive, with Josh Hazlewood leading the attack with 16 wickets. He has been a key factor in keeping opponents under pressure. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yash Dayal have also provided good support whenever needed. The only concern for RCB is the lack of runs from their all-rounders — Krunal Pandya and Liam Livingstone have not shown their best with the bat yet. However, the team’s collective effort in both batting and bowling has kept them in the top 4, and they look strong heading into the second half of IPL 2025.
Todays Encounter -DC VS RCB IPL 2025
It will be exciting to watch Mitchell Starc bowl to Virat Kohli — a real show-stopper contest between two legends fighting it out in the heart of India. So far, Starc has not been able to dismiss Kohli, which makes their battle even more thrilling. Fans will also be eager to see if KL Rahul can deliver another big performance, like his brilliant 93-run knock against RCB in the last game that led Delhi Capitals to victory almost single-handedly. Axar Patel, as captain, continues to impress by leading from the front and contributing with both bat and ball.
Today’s match also promises an exciting battle between KL Rahul and Josh Hazlewood. Both are masters of their craft — Rahul with the bat and Hazlewood with the ball. It’ll be fascinating to see how this contest unfolds, with Rahul’s stylish batting facing Hazlewood’s precise and fiery bowling.
Meanwhile, the pitch for the DC vs RCB match had a green look a day before the game, but it is expected to be good for batting. The fair grass covering will likely prevent much reverse swing, making it a surface that should encourage stroke play.
Head to Head – Delhi Capitals have won just two of the seven encounters against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, DC has a mixed record, having won four and lost six matches to RCB. Overall, the head-to-head record stands at DC 12, RCB 19, with one no-result.
