The Delhi Capitals (DC), who have a new team and new management, have enjoyed a good IPL season thus far. Since Axar Patel was named captain, the team has made significant progress and now has six victories and is in second place in the standings.
On April 27, at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium, DC will play Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The Washington hitters were practicing before the match. This season’s top run scorer,
KL Rahul, was shown hitting deliveries during net practice in a video posted by the DC social media account.
On the other hand, the right-handed batter was surprised when he suddenly broke into two during one shot. Afterwards, the DC captain picked up the broken bat and teased his teammate Tristan Stubbs about having a new bat. A delightful occasion came to an end when the Proteas cricket player recognised and the left-arm spinner remarked, “This mongoose bat only has the handle.”

Meanwhile, DC will take on RCB with both teams being in tremendous form and will aim to win the match and move one step closer to the playoffs stage. In the earlier match between the two franchises, which happened in M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, DC won the match comfortably with six wickets in hand.
Leading from the front, the Bengaluru-born cricketer smashed an unbeaten 93* of 53 balls and took the team to victory. So, RCB will aim for their revenge against DC and the hometown player, Virat Kohli, will plan to win the match for his team and secure the seventh victory of the IPL 2025. DC also will focus on to keep their winning momentum and aim to win the match in front of their home crowd.
