IPL 2024: Top 3 Records That Could Be Broken in Today’s RCB vs DC Match

M Chinnaswamy Stadium is set to host the 62nd encounter of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru on May 12th, starting at 7:30 pm.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru is currently placed 7th in the points table. They are living on fire in each match and their journey has been a roller coaster ride. 

The first half was pretty disappointing for RCB but the challengers made a magical comeback in the second half.  The recent four matches won by a huge margin has also boosted their net run rate in the tournament and stars are aligning for their qualification. 

Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals is ranked 5th in the points table with 6 wins and DC has been living a similar story. Their every game is a do-or-die game and they are excelling in each game, the game at Eden Gardens being the exception. 

Everybody will be glued to watch this match which can determine the 4th place in the points table. Rishabh Pant has been suspended from one IPL match for a slow over-rate offence. Pant won’t be featuring in that must-win game for DC against RCB. 

Here are some records that could be broken in the match- 

Faf du Plessis Aims For 4500 IPL Runs

Faf du Plessis needs to step up as a captain and provide a great start to RCB innings. Faf du Plessis (4494) needs another 6 to reach 4500 runs in IPL.

Warner Targeting 450 Fours 

In the absence of Rishabh Pant, David Warner is expected to return. David Warner (444) needs another six more fours to complete 450 fours in T20s.

Hope Nears 2500 T20 Runs

Shai Hope has sealed his place in DC’s lineup despite his unlike nature to play T20 cricket. Shai Hope (2490) needs ten runs to get to the landmark of 2500 T20 runs. 

Rishabh Pant’s absence has fueled this match and DC and RCB has become a classic match to remember. A loss for either of the teams can end their campaign.
