Really impressive knock from Rajat Patidar - lost both the openers early then he scored 31 from 22 with couple of sixes, they would have easily went with new domestic batter but Kohli and management backed the youngster after few failures. Well played, Patidar.
— Johns. (@CricCrazyJohns)
Best thing looked about Patidar is that he doesn't plays much dot balls in middle overs . Should back him now .
— Aivy (@SpiderPant)
Patidar might have just taken 6 of the most comfortable singles of all time. And for back to back, that should be record of sorts.

After losing the toss, Virat Kohli said, "We would have bowled as well. Dew is a big factor here. I think it came as early as the first innings. So we got to set a nice foundation, need to have wickets in hand and go hard. We need to keep that intent going. Saini makes way for Rajat Patidar, he will bat at 3 to give us a bit more batting. Daniel Sams replaces Dan Christian."
DC have won the toss and put us in to bat first.

Prithvi Shaw has been providing the team with quickfire starts this IPL, and he did so again with 53 in the previous encounter. However, he got out just 8 short of reaching 1000 IPL runs. If Shaw gets there against RCB, he will become the second-youngest player to get to the milestone. Who was the youngest, you ask? His skipper Rishabh Pant.
Speaking of the skipper, Rishabh is just one four away from completing 200 fours for DC in the IPL while Shikhar Dhawan is two fours away from the very same landmark. Whoever gets there first, will be only the second batsman after Virender Sehwag to get there.

The Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) side will take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RC) in the 22nd match of the ongoing Indian Premier League. The contest will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad at 7:00 PM IST. Ahead of the highly anticipated encounter, here we take a look at today's IPL match prediction and the DC vs RCB head to head record and win prediction:

In terms of record, RCB and DC have played 25 matches in IPL history, with RCB winning 15 matches and Delhi Capitals winning 10.
In their last IPL meeting, Delhi Capitals prevailed over the Royal Challengers Bangalore by six wickets in Abu Dhabi. A half-century from Devdutt Padikkal and 35 from AB de Villiers helped RCB reach 152/7 in 20 overs.
In reply, Shikhar Dhawan (54) and Ajinkya Rahane (60) put on 88-runs for the second wicket to lay the foundation for a six-wicket win for the Capitals.
5: 59 IST, April 27th 2021
The batsmen will be hoping that fresh conditions in Ahmedabad will be closer to Mumbai rather than Chennai where the going was tough for nearly everyone barring AB de Villiers. However, the first match of IPL in Ahmedabad ended up in a low-scoring game. The dew factor too came into play as there was more dew when to Chennai and Mumbai.
