RCB Dominates DC: A Decade of Dominance Achieved
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) achieved a remarkable feat on April 27th, 2025, defeating Delhi Capitals (DC) in Delhi and equaling their all-time best IPL win record—a milestone they hadn't reached in 10 years! This victory propelled them to the top of the points table, showcasing their incredible away form in IPL 2025.
RCB's Unbeatable Away Record
RCB's success isn't just about this one win; it's about their consistent dominance away from home. They've secured six wins out of six away matches this season, mirroring their 2015 achievement of six away wins out of nine games. This remarkable consistency highlights the team's adaptability and prowess outside their home stadium. This season's stellar away performance surpasses even their successful 2011 and 2012 seasons where they achieved five away wins each.
- 6 wins in 2015 (9 games)
- 6 wins in 2025 (6 games)*
- 5 wins in 2011 (10 games)
- 5 wins in 2012 (8 games)
*Current record as of April 28th, 2025
Home woes and future prospects
Interestingly, RCB's home form at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium paints a different picture. They've only managed one win out of four home games, indicating a need for improvement in their home performance. With three out of their last four matches scheduled at home, RCB needs to significantly improve their home game to solidify their playoff position and compete for the top two spots.
DC's Disappointment and Captain's Analysis
Delhi Capitals captain, Axar Patel, acknowledged their shortcomings, stating they were 10-15 runs short of a competitive total. He attributed this to their inability to build partnerships and sustain a steady scoring rate. DC now sits in fourth place and will need to regroup for their upcoming match against Kolkata Knight Riders.
Kohli's Continued Excellence
Virat Kohli continued his impressive run, scoring his sixth half-century of IPL 2025, although it was his slowest of the season. His consistent contributions and focus on building partnerships remain crucial for RCB's success.
Looking Ahead
RCB currently leads the points table, but the competition is fierce. Their upcoming matches will be critical in determining their final standing. Will they maintain their momentum and secure a top playoff position? Only time will tell.
