Key Players to Watch: Faf, Kohli, and Rahul:-

So Faf du Plessis who used to be a part of RCB earlier dominates this ground eight 50s in 17 innings KL Rahul also hits a lot for RCB and has scored 648 runs at an average of 64, which includes a century and Virat Kohli also shows his strength against Delhi, he has scored 10 50s in 28 innings, along with being Mr. Consistent, he is the real king of this ground, he has scored 2250 runs on this ground, he has also scored around 3000 runs, so you can keep an eye on these players.

Head-to-Head Record: RCB Leads:-

About head to head battles, then 31 matches have been played between these two teams, 20 have been won by RCB and 11 have been won by Delhi. At the upper end, a little bit of RCB is seen here in the head to head batsmen, but if we look at the last 10 matches, then it is a matter of 50-50 here, both the teams have won five matches each, but the last match played between these two teams was played on this ground in RCB’s home last year in which RCB registered a big win of 47 runs, scoring 187 and defeating DC RCB had scored the highest number of runs at 52, Rajat Paritidar and Axar Patel who was the captain of Delhi last year had made the highest number of runs at 57.

RCB’s Batting Strength: Kohli, Patidar, and More:-

Defeated, then entered CSK’s home and defeated CSK after 18 years and then after 10 years defeated Mumbai Indians and the last game which was in front of Mumbai Indians, a huge total of 221 runs was set and a victory of 12 runs in a nail batting match in which Kohli played well, Patidar also played well, scored 64 runs, Jitesh Sharma’s finishing touch, apart from that Devdutt also played well and RCB has amazing batting this year, that means everyone from top to bottom is in form, the year does not depend only on the top three, Kunal Pandya’s batting did not come till now, David Warner played only one ball, so the batsmen are performing very well, setting big totals and in the last match, 221 was made, Bumrah was in front, still it is a big thing, apart from that, this match, at one moment it seemed that Mumbai would win when that stormy innings of Hardik Pandya came and Hardik Pandya hit amazingly, but later after getting beaten, the way They took the wicket of Hardik Pandya and the way Bhuvneshwar Kumar was executing the yorkers is commendable.

RCB’s Bowling Attack: Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Hazlewood Lead:-

Amazing bowling is also happening. Yash Dayal had bowled the Hitman and you can see all of you taking wickets. Krunal Pandya means in the last over this guy being a spinner is bowling at the speed of 120, taking four wickets and defending the last over, an amazing performance and we are getting to see a complete proper team game.

Batting, bowling, everything is going well. The only problem is their spin department and they have a little less option in bowling. Although in the last match they had the option of Liam but he did not bowl a single over. If he had bowled the last over, they might have lost.

Delhi Capitals: Consistent Performers Across the Board:-

So this is the shortcoming in the spin department. In everything else, this team seems to be far ahead. About change, this team can come with its winning combination and is at the third position. They have won three out of four matches and lost one. Let’s see their strengths and weaknesses. Player preview Let’s talk about the opening players, then Philip Salt and Virat Kohli both are playing very well.

Delhi’s Key Players: Faf and Rahul’s Absence Won’t Hold Them Back:-

In the first match against KKR, Philip Salt played very well, then he made 32, in the last match he scored a four on the first ball and got out on the second ball, he was looking in very good rhythm, if he stayed, he would have hit a lot, 86 in two innings, which is against Delhi, so it is possible that Philip Salt shows us a strong innings here on his home ground, if about Virat Kohli, then he is the king of this ground, brother, an average of 40, more than 3000 runs and DC also likes him, an average of 50, more than 1000 runs in 28 innings, 1050 as well, so both of them can be seen dominating in this match.

RCB’s Team Combination and Changes:-

RCB ‘s opening 10 out of 10 where King Kohli and Philip Salt start hitting as soon as they come, King Kohli can take time to play his tuktuk, can take time to settle down and this perfect combination, two stables in the middle order The batsmen are Devdutt Padikkal and Rajat Padar, so they are classical batsmen but they cause a lot of destruction and have played short balls of 37, 27 like this.

Rajat Patidar has been seen in great touch. He has hit two 50s this year and is playing back to back captaincy innings. DC also likes him. So the middle order is looking quite stable and in form. The third player in the middle order is Liam Livingstone, he is not in such a good rhythm.

Delhi’s Batting Strength: Top Order & Finishing Power:-

Although he hit a 50, a lot of catches were missed. There is also a concern about consistency, so this is a weak link. But if we look at number five, then four batsmen are in good form. And after that, if we look at the lower order, then Jitesh Sharma is playing very well, he is scoring 40, 33 like this.

And in the last match, he was sent above David Warner, even before that he has scored good scores in domestic cricket. So Jitesh is in good form and along with that, David Warner has also played well when needed. In the last 10 overs, RCB have scored 32 in 8 and 22 in 10. So, to give the finishing touch, this team has two amazing, in-form, destructive finishers.

Apart from that, Krunal Pandya hasn’t batted that well yet. He can also bat and bat well. So, the batting is full from top to bottom. Bhuvneshwar Kumar also comes after him and can bat. About bowling attack, then here also this team is ahead of everyone. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is a very experienced player.

Delhi’s Bowling Attack: Strong Spinners and Pacers:-

He has started bowling very good yorkers these days and is bowling on the bounce. He is bowling toe- yorkers. And it was because of these two bowlers that RCB won the last match. Otherwise, the way Hardik Pandya was batting, he would finish the match two overs earlier. Hazlewood is also doing very well and is taking wickets continuously. And after getting beaten up, Hardik Pandya hit him a lot.

RCB’s Strengths and Weaknesses:-

After that, he made a comeback and got Hardik out. So, this is experience, this is class. The third player Yash Dayal is also bowling very well, he had dismissed Rohit Sharma, has taken two wickets several times, is bowling very well, left arm medium pacer, all three pacers are amazing, they are in very good form, so this is also the strength of RCB, but this is their weakness, their spin department, Kunal Pandya gets beaten a lot, it is a different matter that he defended the total by bowling a speed of 120 in the last over, he also took four wickets, took three wickets here, but if we talk about class, then this team does not have that many class spinners, the second spinner Lim Livingstone is a part-time spinner, he and Suyan Sharma are also very class spinners, but we are not getting to see wickets against them either, so here the RCB team looks very weak, on top of that the Channa Swami ground is very small, so the spinners get beaten a lot, they will have to save runs here, okay, if about Delhi, then Delhi is also showing a lot of strength, making a lot of noise, making a lot of noise and this too by defeating a team like CSK It is coming after defeating a team like SRH, it is coming after defeating a team like Lucknow. First, their middle order, lower middle order was tested against Lucknow. They chased 210 after losing five wickets at 60-65. After that, they showed their bowling moves and all those who were talking about 300 plus were not coming below that.

They got them all out at 163. They showed their bowling prowess there. And after that, against CSK, they once again registered a big win of 25 runs and we got to see the bowling performance. And you know the biggest thing, Delhi has won two matches without KL Rahul and F du Plessis.

Delhi’s Rising Strength and Impressive Performances:-

Faf was not there in one match and Rahul was not there in one match. Still Delhi won. So, understand this is the power of Delhi. This team is not dependent on any one big star. Rahul came to open in the last match and scored a brilliant 77 runs. Everyone else also supported well. Akshar, Sameer, Rajiv and the rest of the stuff also played well. And after that.

The bowlers bowled really well, Starc, Mukesh Kumar proved a bit expensive, Mohit Sharma proved a bit expensive, but the spinners Nigam bowled really well, Beraj Nigam, Kuldeep also bowled really well and Axar bowled just one over, the bowlers were seen doing really well, so there is no shortcoming in Delhi, the spin department is amazing, spinners Kuldeep Yadav, Axar, any batsman is working, Rahul is not there, still the team is winning, they are not fab, still the team is winning, so we are getting to see an amazing team game and Axar Patel is captaining really well.

Delhi’s Top-Order and Middle-Order Strengths:-

About the opening players, then you will get to see some changes in the opening pair, see, Faf du Plessis will come, Jack Faz Maker was coming with Faf du Plessis earlier, but Faf was not there in the last match, so Rahul and Jack Fazer came, but in this match, you will not see Jack Fazer from the team So we will get to see some changes in their playing 11, either Jack Fazekar or Sameer Rivie will play, if Jack Fazekar does not play then we can see the opening pair of Faf and Rahul and this opening pair will create havoc, will create chaos, Faf du Plessis had recently hit 50 before playing the last match and he knows this ground very well, he recognizes it, average of 46, 651 runs in 17 innings, he plays very well against RCB as well, now it is also his ex-team, so we are aware of their weaknesses and flaws, on top of that, if Jack Fazekar plays then it is a good thing, if he does not play then it is even better because then brother Rahul will come to open and Rahul will open, so see, he scored 77 here and is in very good form, average of 64, he can score a century against RCB and that player with Orange Cap, who was leading in the race for Orange Cap, we can get to see that Rahul These are amazing numbers, his average is 648, 64 plus in 15 innings after that Abhishek Poral also scored 30 plus, 25 plus and recently also scored 50, Abhishek Poral is an amazing player, a consistent player, so in the middle order, the number three also looks very strong, Sameer ji can be seen playing in place of Rahul and in the last match, he also scored well, you can see how many runs he scored, Sameer ji scored 20 in 15, he was looking good, so at number four, he will be seen Abhishek Poral and he will be there and Axar Patel at number five is scoring 202 in every match, last time he also scored 50 against RCB, so that will also be in his mind, so the middle order is very good but the best is the top order, where Faf du Plessis and Rahul can be seen opening, this can happen but one thing will happen, if Rahul opens then the middle order will become a little unstable and a little weak because Axar Patel Sameer Rizvi is not that tested and has not performed that well in IPL.

Strong Finishers in the Lower Order:-

All the responsibility will be on Abhishek Poral. So this is a scenario due to which it is possible that Rahul plays in the middle order. Otherwise, Rahul’s place is in the opening. About the lower order, then Bhaiya is the stuff. They have Ashutosh, both are match finishers, both are in very good form.

See, they scored 24, 21, 34 runs in every match. In one match, Ashutosh got a chance and gave the finishing touch in that match, he turned a lost game into a win. So, they also have very good finishers. Viraj also bats well and where Ashutosh became the hero, the real hero in that match was Viraj because he was the one who started setting the game first.

He was the one who set the game. After that, Ashutosh finished the match. So, he also bats. This team has three amazing finisher hitters at the bottom. About bowling, then Mitch Starc, Mohit Sharma, Mukesh Kumar are three amazing pacers, but the problem is It is that Mitch Starc is the only one taking wickets, five wickets, three wickets, he is bowling in this manner.

Delhi’s Bowling Attack and Potential Weaknesses:-

Apart from this, Mohit Sharma is proving to be very expensive, he has taken only one wicket in the last five innings, but this player is very amazing, very wonderful, the day he comes in form, he can also be seen changing the game. Mukesh Kumar is also not able to take many wickets, but he has taken more wickets than Mohit Sharma and has also been more economical than Mohit Sharma, so in such a situation, if some changes have to be made in bowling, then Mohit Sharma can go out and T Nitrajan can come in his place, who executes the yorker well and his form has also been very good, but Mohit Sharma should be given a chance in one or two more matches, his pace attack is very strong, how can this team go ahead of RCB, in the spin department, there are two amazing, not two, but three amazing spinners, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel are two international star spinners, both change the game, Kuldeep is also taking wickets, three-three, two-two wickets, although Axar Patel is not able to execute himself that much in bowling as captain.

Ground Conditions and Match Venue:-

He bowled only one over in the last match and got beaten in the other two matches, but he is a very class spinner and can come into form anytime. Along with that, the third spinner Biparaj took two wickets in the last match and is bowling brilliantly, so in the spin department, Delhi is many times ahead of RCB and they can be seen saving runs, where their spinners will concede 100 runs in eight overs. These are spinners who concede 50-60 runs.

So here the Delhi team looks very strong. About the ground, the match is going to be played at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. 163 matches have been played, the average score is 175, 73 matches have been defended and 88 matches have been chased and only those are defended in which 220-230 are made, the scores below that are not defended much here, 44 times 190 plus has been made here, 33 times 170-190, so runs are made a lot here.

Predictions for the Upcoming Match:-

In the last match, GT won here and defeated RCB and our prediction in this match is also The whole world was with RCB, so the good thing here is that RCB has won three out of the last four matches. Although their winning percentage here is around 40, but RCB has won three out of four matches here, so home advantage can remain with them.

Here, against 218 runs, they defended 181 and chased 147. So in this way, we can get to see runs, we can see big runs, 180 plus. We can expect to see small boundaries and pat wickets. In 163 matches, pacers have taken 496 wickets and spinners have taken 231 wickets.
