Can Delhi Capitals regain the pole spot in IPL 2025 points table?
Axar Patel’s Delhi Capitals will play their sixth match of IPL 2025 against the Rajasthan Royals on April 16. DC slipped from the first to second position after losing against the Mumbai Indians on April 13. If DC beat RR, they can regain the first spot in the IPL 2025 points table.
On the other side, RR suffered defeats in their last two matches against the Gujarat Titans and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The Royals have earned only four points from six matches. If they suffer a big defeat against the Capitals, they might even slip to the 10th position. RR will be keen to snap their losing streak.
