Delhi Capitals (DC) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will compete in the 50th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, scheduled on May 6 at Arun Jaitley Stadium.

While it is a must-win game for Delhi Capitals, who are languishing at the bottom of the points table with three victories in nine games, Royal Challengers Bangalore are placed at fifth position, having won five of their nine matches.

Meanwhile, let us discuss the player vs player battles which can have a say in the result of the clash.


Axar Patel vs Virat Kohli 

As it is no longer a mystery that Virat Kohli struggles to keep the momentum going against the spinners, he will be challenged by Axar Patel in the fixture versus DC.

Anrich Nortje vs Faf du Plessis 

RCB captain Faf du Plessis is the top-scorer in IPL 2023 so far, adding 466 runs to his name. However, to counter him, the Capitals have a weapon named Anrich Nortje.

Karn Sharma/Wanindu Hasaranga vs Mitchell Marsh
