Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals are currently occupying the top two spots in the IPL 2020. No, this is not a hoax. Delhi Capitals have been in top form in IPL 2020 with three wins out of four, with their one loss coming against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Royal Challengers Bangalore, on the other hand, have been clinical with the ball and with the bat in their clashes against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals but they survived by the skin of their teeth in their Super Over win against four-time champions Mumbai Indians.
Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore have established a consistent streak because they have depth in their batting and bowling. In the game against Rajasthan Royals, Virat Kohli came back to form and that has boosted the morale of the Royal Challengers Bangalore side.
When it comes to rivalries, Royal Challengers Bangalore have enjoyed a period of dominance against Delhi Capitals and that is why, they have a positive head-to-head ratio against them, which is a rarity for Virat Kohli’s side.
