As the Vivo IPL 2021 moves to the next leg with the Ahmedabad and Delhi matches lined up, next up is a fascinating contest between the Delhi Capitals and the Royal Challengers Bangalore. They have been on the top of their game for the best part of this season and have four wins in five games each.
DC comes into this match on the back of a thrilling victory against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the super over. Pant and co look all fired up to take the Ahmedabad challenge. However Ravichandran Ashwin’s indefinite absence could be a concern for the Capitals.
On the other hand, we have RCB who come into this match on the back of a devastating loss against the Chennai Super Kings. This was a reality check for the Virat Kohli led side who have relied on the inexperienced shoulders of Mohammed Siraj and Harshal Patel. The onus will again be on the trio of Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell and AB de Villiers to deliver.
