Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Delhi Capitals IPL Match Today: Rishabh Pant’s absence from the Delhi Capitals Playing XI will be a massive factor for the visiting team as DC take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a must-win IPL match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday.
Delhi Capitals’ captain Pant has been handed a one-match suspension for today’s IPL match, besides a hefty fine, because his team had a a slow over-rate against Rajasthan Royals on May 7. Since it was DC’s third penalty for the same reason, the one-match suspension was invoked on Pant for today’s IPL match.

Delhi are fifth in the IPL 2024 standings with 12 points from 12 games while RCB are seventh with 10 points from the same number of games.

Impact Sub for DC in IPL match today: Lalit Yadav
Player to watch out for DC in IPL match today: Axar Patel will be a factor for the Delhi Capitals today, not just because he has been handed the captaincy in Pant’s absence. He will want to hand the ball to himself in the powerplay overs against RCB’s mighty opening pair of Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli, since both of them have a strike-rate which is just around 110 against the spinner. Another impressive stat for the DC captain: In 11 T20s that they have met in, Axar has managed to dismiss Kohli just once, but runs for the explosive batter have also thinned to a trickle: Kohli has only scored 78 off 71 balls against the left-arm spinner.
