IPL 2025: Delhi Capitals look to break RCB's away dominance

Not so long ago, Virat Kohli's last visit to the Arun Jaitley Stadium created a mayhem, turning a routine Ranji Trophy affair into a celebration. On Sunday, the Delhi boy will be back in action at the same venue, where the Royal Challengers Bengaluru will take on Delhi Capitals with an eye on extending their unbeaten away run in IPL 2025.

Both RCB and DC have enjoyed a stellar run this season, recording six wins each to occupy the second and third spots on the IPL points table, respectively. With five away wins on the trot, RCB will be eager to continue the momentum and steer clear of their three-way tie with Gujarat Titans and DC on 12 points.

Kohli has played his part in all those wins, with five of his six half-centuries helping the side cross the line. With 392 runs from nine innings, Kohli is second on the Orange Cap list and he has happy memories at the Kotla, where he has amassed 483 runs in ten innings at an average of 69 in RCB colours.
