While this is officially a contest between RCB and Delhi Capitals, fans are calling it a showdown between RCB and its former stars. The Delhi Capitals squad features several ex-RCB players, including KL Rahul, Faf du Plessis, Mitchell Starc, and Karun Nair — all of whom once donned the red and gold of Bengaluru. Their deep understanding of the Chinnaswamy pitch and playing conditions gives Delhi a strategic edge.

KL Rahul, in particular, has fond memories of playing at this venue and is expected to be a key figure in tonight’s game. Young Karnataka talent Manvit Kumar L, also part of the Delhi setup, is eyeing his debut and hoping for a chance to shine on home turf.

RCB, aiming to bounce back in the tournament, faces not only a strong DC team but also the challenge of outsmarting their former comrades. With emotions running high and the stakes even higher, fans can expect a thrilling contest under the lights in Bengaluru.
