IPL 2024 Live: DC opt to bowl first

Delhi Capitals stand-in captain Axar Patel has won the toss and opted to bowl vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

IPL 2024 Live: RCB’s improved bowling attack

The transformation of RCB bowlers in the last four matches have been nothing short of remarkable. Mohammed Siraj has found his mojo after a 10-day break, and he has received excellent backing from fellow pacer Yash Dayal and left-arm spinner Swapnil Singh. After the match against PBKS, the overall run-rate of Siraj (9.4) and Dayal (9) have gone under 10 for the first time this season, not a mean feat in a tournament where runs were scored at a breakneck pace. Their skills will be tested first by Jack Fraser-McGurk, who has teed off to make 309 runs from seven matches at an impressive strike-rate of 235.87.

RCB vs DC Live: Kohli has the Orange Cap

RCB’s confidence will be high, courtesy strong and consistent batting effort led by talisman Virat Kohli. Kohli is the leading run-getter in this IPL with 634 runs but, more importantly, those runs have come at a brisk rate of 153, giving RCB early momentum while setting or chasing targets. Along with Kohli, additional runs from skipper Faf du Plessis, Rajat Patidar, Cameron Green and Dinesh Karthik have provided their bowlers, who have responded to the call splendidly, with a cushion.

IPL 2024 Live: RCB hold an edge

While the absence of Pant will certainly give RCB an edge, they can’t get themselves lulled into a comfort zone. In the run-up to this match, RCB defeated Gujarat Titans twice, Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad once each. While the victory over SRH was valiant, RCB did not face much challenge from the floundering Titans and Kings. But the Capitals are a team unlike any other as they have oscillated between brilliant and ordinary in the span of a few days.

RCB vs DC Live: Historic feat awaits Kohli!

If Virat Kohli plays the game for RCB tonight, he will become the first-ever player in IPL history to play 250 matches for a single franchise. Overall, MS Dhoni has played most IPL matches (263) followed by Rohit Sharma (256) and Dinesh Karthik (254). Then comes Kohli in the list.

RCB vs DC Live: No Rishabh Pant for DC!

Pushed into a tight corner, Royal Challengers Bengaluru rose above their frailties to notch four wins on the trot to stay alive in the race to play-offs, but Delhi Capitals even sans their suspended skipper Rishabh Pant offer them a different challenge on Sunday. Pant was suspended for one match and handed a fine of Rs 30 lakh for maintaining slow over rate against Rajasthan Royals at Delhi on May 7. It was DC’s third offence of the season; hence the suspension came in vogue immediately leading to Pant missing the match against RCB.
