RCB vs DC: Former Indian pacer Varun Aaron believes the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC) IPL 2025 clash on Thursday (April 10) will be a battle of two top spinners vs the best spin-hitting batting line up.

RCB packs one of the best equipped batting line up to counter spin with the likes of Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar and Jitesh Sharma already showing dominance over the tweakers this season.

DC, on the other hand, possess the best spin partnership in Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. Plus they also have uncapped Vipraj Nigam in their line up to trouble the opposition. While it's a battle between second and third, the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is expected to witness a fantastic contest.

Looking ahead to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Delhi Capitals clash, JioStar expert Varun Aaron weighed in on RCB's momentum: "I think Royal Challengers Bengaluru are in a very good space right now.

"They've got their tails up after their last victory, which was one of their most impressive wins in recent memory. They're playing a different brand of cricket this season. Their bowling combination seems spot-on."

Varun Aaron, who had a stint with RCB during his playing days, added that the franchise have answered many doubters about their spin attack with Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma stepping up to fill in a possible void.

"There were questions around their spinners, but Suyash Sharma has really stepped up. Krunal Pandya has also been aggressive with his bouncers," Aaron added before further analysing the RCB bowling unit.

"The fast bowling unit has always been strong, and for the first time, RCB have picked bowlers who suit their home conditions-bowlers who hit the stumps consistently. Their batting has always been solid. It will be a fantastic contest-two top-class spinners up against one of the best spin-hitting line-ups in the league."
