Delhi Capitals (DC) will be taking on inaugural season winner Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match No. 32 of IPL 2025 at Arun Jaitley Stadium. They will face the historically favorite RR on April 16 at 7:30 PM IST. In IPL 2025, DC are one of the leaders and contenders and going to fight against rival RR as a second-ranked team.
DC had a memorable start to the IPL as they defeated LSG in their first match by one wicket at ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium on 24th March. Further, they won over Sunrisers Hyderabad, Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. However, things around against five time IPL champions Mumbai Indians as DC fell short of 12 runs after fighting hard to win the match. Looking at their all five matches this season, DC are certainly exhibiting offbeat performance. Now, DC will have opportunity to change the outcome of IPL final which they couldn’t do in IPL 2020, ending up as runners-up.
Talking about the ground, the Arun Jaitley Stadium, formerly known as Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, has a capacity of 35,200 spectators. The surface of this ground is mostly favourable for the spinners as the ball becomes after a tap and it becomes difficult for the batters to connect the ball well. However, in recent times, the batters also got help from this pitch as we saw many high-scoring games on this ground during the 2023 ODI World Cup. Let’s have a look at IPL stats and records at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
