The 24th match of IPL 2025 is set to explode with emotions and action as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) lock horns with Delhi Capitals (DC) on April 10. The game kicks off at 7:30 PM at Bengaluru’s iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, with the toss happening at 7:00 PM.
Now look, I think this is how it has to be because if you look then you will find this here — Delhi is undefeated so far, winning all three of their matches, topping the points table, while RCB has won 3 out of 4, placing them at number 3. So yeah, this clash is going to be massive and full of tension.
Delhi’s Emotional Touch – A Kannada Reel That Melted Hearts
Here’s where things get really emotional.
Delhi Capitals have already landed in Bengaluru and are deep into practice sessions. But what grabbed everyone’s attention wasn’t just their net session — it was a reel they posted on Instagram.
And trust me, personally I think that reel hit differently.
In the video, DC played a Kannada song “Maayaavi” by Sanjith Hegde, and it featured none other than Faf du Plessis, who led RCB last season but is now playing for Delhi. That move — using a local language and showing respect — seriously won the hearts of Kannadigas.
I always believe that it has to be done — respecting fans is the real game beyond the field.
Fans got emotional. Comments flooded in saying they miss Faf in RCB, and honestly, this post went crazy viral.
Look, we have to take care of that one because these small things build a bigger bond with the fans.
RCB vs DC: What History Tells Us
Let’s talk stats. If we look at their last five encounters, RCB clearly had the upper hand:
- RCB won by 47 runs
- DC won by 7 wickets
- RCB won by 23 runs
- RCB won by 16 runs
- RCB won by 7 wickets
But likewise, just think if this is how it is then what to do now — Delhi is on a roll with 3 back-to-back wins this season, and RCB’s only loss happened right here at Chinnaswamy. That changes the vibe completely.
Delhi Capitals Probable Playing 11:
