Former India batter Aakash Chopra has added that the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) don’t have any worries heading into their IPL 2026 match against the Delhi Capitals (DC). Nonetheless, he shared that KL Rahul might trouble RCB at his home ground.
In a video shared on his YouTube channel, ‘Aakash Chopra,’ he said, “KL Rahul is one guy it is advisable be wary of, although RCB don’t make any game plans against anyone nowadays because they beat everyone. They’re a team that is totally rockstar. There isn’t a thing you can call a worry. There isn’t any worry. They’re only in a rush to complete the match quickly.”
“KL Rahul is one guy who has a median of 70 against this team. So the house boy, he’s from Bengaluru only, might trouble you, but that’s the one thing. The opposing team must make plans,” he further added. “What can Delhi do? T Natarajan with the brand new ball, perhaps for Virat Kohli, left-arm pace. Can you concentrate on using bouncers for Phil Salt at first? Axar Patel can are available the Powerplay. Kuldeep Yadav can come immediately as soon as Rajat Patidar involves bat. I believe these are just a few things you could do.”
“I feel it is best to play Vipraj Nigam” – Aakash Chopra
Meanwhile, Aakash Chopra also urged the Delhi Capitals to incorporate Vipraj Nigam of their playing combination against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, claiming that they would want batting till No. 8 as well.
“I feel it is best to play Vipraj Nigam and make a quick bowler sit out because batting might be required till No. 8. Even when you’ve gotten intentions of beating RCB, I’m not saying whether you’re able to beating them or not, you would like batting till No. 8. In case your batting finishes at No. 7, which was the case within the previous match against CSK, it’s flawed,” he said.
“Batting shouldn’t end at No. 7 with the Impact Player rule. Delhi, you didn’t get it right last time. Please get that right this time. I feel you’ll have to play Vipraj Nigam again. It’s a day game, so leg-spin might need a job,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
