Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals (formerly known as Delhi Daredevils) are two of the teams that have not unleashed their full potential and gone all the way. Both the teams have had inconsistent seasons and reached the playoffs, but failed to win a single trophy to justify their potential.
RCB and DC have faced each other a total of 30 times. Out of which RCB has won 19 times while the Delhi-based franchise has been able to win 10 times and one match ended in no result. It is very evident from the figures that RCB has been more successful in head-to-head encounters with the Delhi team.
In their very first encounter in the inaugural edition of the IPL, Delhi defeated Bangalore by 8 runs, thanks to Glenn McGrath’s match-winning figures of 4/29. In their latest encounter, DC defeated RCB by 7 wickets, and Phil Salt was adjudged the player of the match for his 87 off 45 balls.
