Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, RCB Playing 11 vs DC (Predicted), IPL 2022, Match 27, DC vs RCB

Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, RCB Playing 11 vs DC (Predicted), IPL 2022, Match 27, DC vs RCB. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC) will face each other in an IPL 2022 match on Saturday (April 16) at 7.30 PM IST and their goals from this match are rather intertwined.

SRH vs KKR Dream11 Prediction

A win will help RCB re-enter the top four spot in the points table with 8 points and on the other hand, DC can join the race for the top four positions with 6 points, if they win this match. In fact, both these teams are coming from two high-scoring matches. The Delhi Capitals hammered Kolkata Knight Riders after posting a 200+ total in their last match, unlike the Bangalore side who could not chase down a 200+ target set for them by the Chennai Super Kings.

So far in the ongoing IPL 2022, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have won three of their five games. The absence of pacer Harshal Patel was felt heavily in the game against CSK, but the team should not dwell on the loss too much since T20 cricket is an unpredictable game.

Even though the Royal Challengers Bangalore’s other batsman, Suyash Prabhudessai, performed an outstanding job with the bat, the team’s bowlers seemed completely lost without Harshal Patel in their ranks. Now that Harshal Patel has been released from quarantine and Josh Hazlewood has been declared eligible for the remainder of the tournament, Royal Challengers Bangalore will be fielding a full-strength playing 11 for the first time this season.

Delhi Capitals posted a massive score of 215 runs against KKR with their openers Prithvi Shaw (51 runs) and David Warner (61 runs) setting the tone of the match. Rishabh Pant (27 runs), Axar Patel (22 runs), and Shardul Thakur (29 runs) took on the bowlers to carry forward the momentum from the top 3.

Delhi Capitals’ middle-order needs to slightly re-jig with Lalit Yadav and Rovman Powell, not scoring runs consistently. Delhi Capitals’ pacers Shardul Thakur, Mustafizur Rahman, and Khaleel Ahmed shared 5 wickets among themselves against KKR and have formed a formidable trio for the team.

Kuldeep Yadav is having a dream comeback this season with 10 wickets in 4 matches including a Man of the Match performance of 4/20 in the last game against KKR. Spinner Axar Patel is yet to take a wicket so far and they might be tempted to include Anrich Nortje depending on the conditions on offer.

RCB’s top-3 failed to get going in the massive chase of 217 runs against CSK last night. Their middle-order batters Glenn Maxwell (26 runs), Shahbaz Ahmed (43 runs), Suyash Prabhudessai (34 runs), and Dinesh Karthik (34 runs) scored runs at a strike rate of 200+ to keep their team in the hunt but they ended up with 193/9 to lose the match by 23 runs.

Faf du Plessis

Anuj Rawat

The 22-year-old cricketer from Delhi, Anuj Rawat, is quite excited at the prospect of representing Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the upcoming IPL 2022 season. He was picked up by the franchise for INR 3.40 crores. The keeper already has a first-class batting average of 40. He is the 3rd highest run-getter of RCB, managing 125 runs with a highest of 66 against Mumbai Indians in their last match.

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli is a right-handed batsman from Royal Challengers Bangalore. The team will expect him to play a big role once again this season. Virat Kohli is the leading run-scorer in the IPL and holds the record for the most number of centuries (4) in an IPL season.

He was retained ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction for INR 15 crores. He scored 48 against Mumbai and is the team’s 5th highest run-getter this season with 107 runs averaging a mere 26.75 which doesn’t depict a good picture going by Virat Kohli’s caliber and credentials.

Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik, the man who was responsible for India’s incredible win against Bangladesh in the Nidahas Trophy final, will be donning the RCB jersey for the second time. An incredibly fine wicket-keeper and a decent striker of the ball, Dinesh Karthik is a veteran of more than 200 IPL games.

Royal Challengers Bangalore wrested him from the jaws of Chennai Super Kings after an intense bidding war for Rs 5.50 crore. He has played the role of finisher extremely well as his cameos resulted in victories. He is RCB’s 2nd highest scorer in IPL 2022 with 131 runs averaging 131 and has a high strike rate of 218.33.

Glenn Maxwell

RCB’s batting unit also received a big boost in the form of Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, who was available for selection against Mumbai. He scored an unbeaten 8 runs against Mumbai which RCB won and 26 against Chennai in a losing cause but will try to have another outstanding season for RCB. He was RCB’s highest scorer in IPL 2021, amassing 513 runs in 15 IPL games averaging 42.75 with 6 fifties at a strike rate of 144.10.

Shahbaz Ahmed

The left-arm spinner, Shahbaz Ahmed was bought back by the RCB at the 2022 IPL Mega Auction. After a bidding war with the KKR, RCB finally got their man for INR 2.4 crore. A fine spinner and a handy batter, Shahbaz Ahmed’s best bowling figure is 3/7.

He has scored 113 runs averaging 35.67 including two scores of 40+ so far in IPL 2022. He is yet to pick a wicket though in IPL 2022. His three innings in IPL 2022 read 27(20), 45(26), and 41(27).

Wanindu Hasaranga

Sri Lankan leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga joined Royal Challengers Bangalore for INR 10.75 crore at the IPL 2022 Mega Auction. RCB went all guns blazing for the youngster, who took a hattrick in the recently concluded 2021 T20 World Cup. He is RCB’s leading wicket-taker this season with 10 scalps in 5 games averaging 15.5 with a best of 4/20 against Kolkata Knight Riders

Josh Hazlewood

A regular in the Australian team’s Test line-up, Josh Hazlewood is known for his pace, bouncers, and consistent performances. A clever and composed customer with the ball, Josh Hazlewood was picked up by the RCB at the IPL 2022 Mega Auction for INR 7.75 crore. He picked 1/33 against CSK in the only match he played in IPL 2022 for Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Harshal Patel

Harshal Patel fetched a whopping ₹10.75 crore in the IPL Mega Auction as the RCB bought back the Indian pacer. The fast bowler won the Purple Cap in the 2021 edition of the league with 32 wickets in his kitty. He picked 6 wickets so far in IPL 2022 averaging 14.66 which came at an economy of 5.50.

The 31-year-old pacer opted out of the bio bubble and didn’t play against CSK. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) pace bowler Harshal Patel has reportedly left the IPL bio-bubble following the death of a family member-his sister. RCB missed him in the game against CSK, which they lost but he may play against Delhi Capitals.

Akash Deep

25-year-old Akash Deep hails from Bengal and made his first-class debut in 2019. Akash was bought by the RCB for his base price of INR 20 lakhs. He impressed in IPL 2022, picking 5 scalps from as many games averaging 41. His economy rate is 10.88 and his best bowling figure is 3/45.

Mohammed Siraj

One of India’s premier fast bowlers, Mohammed Siraj has risen through the ranks with each passing match. His show with the red and white ball has been the talk of the circuit and his consistency in bowling was rewarded when he was retained by the Royal Challengers Bangalore ahead of the 2022 edition of the league.

The RCB retained the pacer for INR 7 crores. He has picked up 3 scalps in 5 games at a high average of 71.66 and may be replaced by Siddharth Kaul. An experienced pacer, Siddharth Kaul was picked by the RCB at the IPL 2022 Mega Auction for INR 75 lakhs. He made his ODI & T20I debuts for India in 2018. He has picked up 58 scalps in 54 IPL games averaging 29.24.
