Ahead of the IPL 2025 match between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, a special moment between Delhi's captain Axar Patel and RCB's mentor Dinesh Karthik has gone viral. As Axar was batting in the nets, Dinesh Karthik, who used to be a part of the Delhi franchise, spotted him and approached him.

On the eve of the big match, Axar was getting ready by practicing in the nets when Dinesh Karthik came over. Their brief exchange turned into a playful reminder from Karthik, urging Axar to focus on his batting as the team captain. Here's how the conversation went:

"Don't joke around, please carry on batting. That's exactly why I don't come near the nets," was the RCB mentor's message to the DC skipper. Here's how the conversation went:

Axar Patel: DK Bhai ko hello toh bolunga na. (I will say hello to my brother, DK)

Dinesh Karthik: Go be a captain.

Axar Patel: Arey DK bhai, bhai ho yaar aap. (You are my brother, DK)

Dinesh Karthik: Eh tu khel na yaar. Mazak mat kar. Islie main net ke paas nahi ata. (You go and bat, don't fool around. That's exactly why I don't come near the nets).


The two teams, Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, are closely matched in terms of performance, with both having 12 points. DC is ahead on net run rate and has one less loss than RCB. Out of their ten meetings in New Delhi, RCB has won six.

After Rishabh Pant moved to Lucknow Super Giants, Axar Patel took over as the Delhi Capitals' captain. He has led the team with great confidence, and Delhi is currently second in the points table with 12 points from 8 matches. Under his leadership, Delhi has done well, and Axar would be hoping for another strong performance from his key player, KL Rahul, just like the last time DC played against RCB.
