Injuries & Illnesses

Faf du Plessis missed the previous match for DC but he is expected to be available for selection once more.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

There has been some rain around in Bengaluru but the forecast for this match is quite good. Pace dominates at the Chinnaswamy with 62% of the wickets in the previous ten matches being picked by the fast bowlers. Chasing is also an advantage but not as big as you might imagine. 53% of the matches have been won by the team that has chased at the venue.

RCB vs DC Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

There are three exciting options to choose from here. KL Rahul, Phil Salt, and Jitesh Sharma have all made an impact in the matches so far. Picking all three would not be a bad option either. Abhishek Porel has done well very well also and can be considered.

Batters

Virat Kohli always seems to do well against the Delhi Capitals and Rajat Patidar is in the form of his life. These two are automatic selections. However, you may want to distinguish your lineup by picking players like Devdutt Padikkal, Faf du Plessis, or even Tim David.

Two players who have been very quiet so far but can have a big impact are Jake Fraser-McGurk and Tristan Stubbs. Both are genuine big hitters that can get you a old of fantasy points on their day.

All Rounders

Axar Patel, Krunal Pandya, and Liam Livingstone are the three big players to choose from in this category. Axar has only scored 140 points so far and not been too impressive with the bat. He has also not bowled in all of the matches. Krunal Pandya with 243 points and Liam Livingstone with 244 points are better options.

Bowlers

Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazelwood are the two big obvious choices to have. Both the Aussie quicks have been brilliant in IPL 2025 and are expected to play a central role in this contest. Yash Dayal with 201 points, Kuldeep Yadav with 223, and Bhuvanesh Kumar with 120 are other options to consider.

We also like Suyash Sharma as a defensive bowler but he perhaps does not score as many points as the others.

RCB vs DC Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

Virat Kohli continues to astound with his consistency and newfound aggression. He is in terrific form and loves batting at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. He could get another big one here so we are doubling down on him.

Vice-Captain

KL Rahul has stated publicly that he wants to enjoy hitting sixes and not worry about too much more. That is perhaps when he plays best. A local Bengaluru boy, KL Rahul knows the Chinnaswamy as well as anyone else.

RCB vs DC Team Expert Advice

The tendency to sometimes load your Dream11 team with all of the best batters available and not really look at the middle order or the spinners can hold you back when matches are being played at the Chinnaswamy. The right selection of the bowlers will help you win your contests.
