At 26 for three, RCB were under pressure before Krunal and Kohli stabilized the innings. Krunal’s clean hitting, particularly against Mukesh Kumar and Kuldeep Yadav, stood out. Kohli, continuing his remarkable consistency, recorded his sixth fifty-plus score in ten games.

KL Rahul has been putting in the hard yards in the nets and his efforts have reflected on the field. He’s been in great form throughout the tournament, including a solid unbeaten 57 off 42 balls in a recent game against Lucknow Super Giants.

Rishabh Pant has managed just 106 runs in nine matches so far in IPL 2025, with a modest strike rate of 96.36, reflecting his limited contribution this season. Following Lucknow Super Giants’ defeat to Delhi Capitals, Pant acknowledged in the post-match interview that the team is still struggling to identify its ideal playing combination.

RR managed just 11 runs in the Super Over, with both Parag and Jaiswal getting run out. Delhi chased it down with ease, intensifying criticism from fans over the decision to exclude the in-form duo of Rana and Jaiswal.

Rohit Sharma's sharp captaincy, including a timely ball change and the introduction of spinners, proved crucial. Mitchell Santner’s delivery to dismiss Nair and Karn Sharma’s 3/36 turned the tide as DC's batting collapsed.

While Delhi seem nearly unstoppable at the moment, one area of concern remains: the form of opener Jake Fraser-McGurk, who has managed just 46 runs in four matches. Thankfully for DC, KL Rahul has been versatile and dependable, adjusting to different roles in the lineup and thriving regardless.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are gearing up to face Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 24th match of IPL 2025, scheduled for April 10 (Thursday) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
