All eyes, however, will also be on key strike bowlers from both sides — Aussies Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood turning up for DC and RCB respectively

It’s likely to be one of the tightest encounters in IPL 2025 as hosts Delhi Capitals (DC) meet Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on their return from away games. DC are placed second on the points table with six wins from eight matches, while RCB are third after six victories from nine games.
While DC return home, it is also a return of sorts for RCB’s star batsman Virat Kohli — the Feroz Shah Kotla has been his very own since he started his career. Kohli returns home happy, having scored 483 runs in 10 innings at an average of 69 and a strike rate of 145.5.
