RCB vs DC Head to Head in IPL, Records, Stats & Results

RCB vs DC Head to Head in IPL: The Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals showdown has always been exciting and worth watching. The intense rivalry between the two teams is second to none. RCB, a team that never gives up until the end, is one of the toughest opponents for other teams with the Great Virat Kohli on their side. With their new captain, Rajat Patidar, RCB tasted its maiden glory in the IPL 2025 after a drought of 18 years. Delhi Capitals, a side that never sits back, whether it’s winning or losing position. Recently, DC introduced Axar Patel as their new skipper. They used to be the “Delhi Daredevils,” and to be fair, they lived up to the “daredevil” tag in some ways, being unpredictable, brilliant at times, and messy at others. They have since changed their name to Capitals, and while they’re not as unpredictable, they are much more consistent, like that unassuming, determined sibling who quietly goes about climbing the charts.

When RCB and DC are playing on neutral turf – or what could be thought of as a friendly battlefield, neither team calls home – RCB tends to show up a little more showy.
