RCB vs DC Toss Updates & Playing 11: IPL 2025 Match 24; Axar Patel Opts to Bowl

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will go head-to-head against Delhi Capitals (DC) on April 10 in the 24th match of the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

RCB have been on a roll, winning three of their four games this season, sitting comfortably at third place in the standings.

Virat Kohli has been their batting backbone, piling up 164 runs at a strike-rate of around 143. Support from Rajat Patidar, Jitesh Sharma and Devdutt Padikkal has made them even more formidable.

Their bowlers, mainly Josh Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yash Dayal, Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma, have also played their part, making RCB one of the top sides of the competition.

The Axar Patel-led Delhi Capitals, meanwhile, are the team to beat, storming through with three wins in as many matches, holding second position on the IPL 2025 points table. Fresh off a 25-run triumph against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), DC look unstoppable and would aim to extend their dominance.
