Kuldeep is a terrific spin bowler and with the surface assisting the spinners, the wily bowler could pose a threat against RCB batters who have a tendency to struggle against spin bowling.

In terrific form this season: In the 2025 edition of IPL, Kuldeep has been one of DC's main bowler, as he has scalped 12 wickets in 8 matches with an economy of less than 7 runs per over. He is in the form of his life and the confidence will be sky-high as he takes on the RCB team.

3) Mitch Starc

Point to prove against RCB: Prior to the IPL 2025 mega auction, there were reports that RCB will go after their former player, Starc. The Aussie pacer played for them for two seasons and had stellar numbers.

However, surprisingly, RCB were not invested in Starc as DC snapped him in the auction. The Australian seamer will have a point to prove to his former IPL side and with plenty of right-handers in the team, he could bring one back into them and trap them lbw.
