Coming in hot as defending champions, RCB have notched up four wins from five matches, including a perfect three from three at home. Meanwhile, DC are looking to bounce back after suffering two consecutive losses, hoping that their six-day break has reignited their momentum.

Toss news: Axar Patel won the toss for DC and opted to bowl first, citing the day game’s conditions. RCB’s captain, Rajat Patidar, is keen to set a solid total on the board. As for Virat Kohli, he’s officially playing, recovering from an ankle issue that kept him off the field against Lucknow Super Giants.
