Former India player turned veteran commentator Aakash Chopra has said that the RCB are best placed among all teams in the IPL 2025 playoff qualification race. He shared that RCB will face underperforming teams in all four of their rest of the games. RCB beat the Delhi Capitals (DC) by six wickets as well. The win took them to 14 points from 10 games and helped them reach at the top of the points table too.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel ‘Aakash Chopra’, he said, “They have defeated Delhi in Delhi. They accepted the challenge and have repaid the loan with interest. They have won a sixth consecutive game away from home. It is the second-longest successful away story in IPL history. RCB have reached the No. 1 position. They will fight for the top two, but RCB will definitely be through this time.”
“It’s important to see against whom they are playing their remaining games – Chennai Super Kings, who are sitting at No. 10, LSG, who are struggling at the moment, it’s the same story for Hyderabad, and then there is KKR. Even if they lose two, there won’t be any upheaval on the table. If any team is looking the most comfortable among the top four, it’s RCB,” he further added.

While talking about the Delhi Capitals’ batting in Sunday’s game, Aakash Chopra added that all their batters, barring Abishek Porel (28 off 11) and Tristan Stubbs (34 off 18), struggled to score.

“If you see from Delhi’s perspective, the batting was extremely ordinary. It seemed like they were trying to come into fourth gear but couldn’t. Abishek Porel played well, but apart from him, everyone was seen struggling. You reached 162 because of Tristan Stubbs’ excellent batting in the end, which was a good 15-20 runs short,” he said.

“If we talk about bowling, Josh Hazlewood now has the Purple Cap on his head, and he is unstoppable. He picks up wickets and bowls short balls against Indian batters and traps them. Krunal Pandya did his job. Bhuvneshwar Kumar picked up three wickets. An impeccable performance by Team Bengaluru,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
