DC vs RCB Pitch Report
This track is traditionally played on a dry surface, which benefits spinners as the match advances due to its low bounce and natural turn. Fast bowlers will get some early swing from the new ball, but they will have to rely on heavy deviations and cutters later on in order to survive.
Virat Kohli vs Kuldeep Yadav
This is that specialize battle of patience versus pure craft. RCB's top order, led by Virat Kohli, has been in exceptional form. Kohli will face Delhi's top left-arm wrist-spinner, Kuldeep Yadav. Kohli usually plays Kuldeep cautiously in the middle overs to avoid losing wickets. At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Kuldeep will actively seek turn and flight to deceive an expert batter. This chess match in middle overs will determine which team has the momentum heading into the final death overs.
