Performance in Chinnaswamy Stadium
The pitch here usually favors batters, but Axar’s tight spin bowling has worked even on batting-friendly wickets. His ability to bowl stump-to-stump and keep the run rate low can frustrate RCB’s middle order.
Axar Patel has had an excellent record against RCB in IPL history. With 19 wickets, a batting average of 37.7, and a reputation for stepping up under pressure, he will once again be Delhi’s key man in Match 24 of IPL 2025.
If Axar delivers today, Delhi Capitals could continue their unbeaten run this season.
