Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Delhi Capitals (DC) are two of the original eight sides that played in the inaugural season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008. RR were crowned champions in the inaugural season, while DC, then known as the Delhi Daredevils, finished as one of the semi-finalists. Since then, neither side have been able to lift the IPL trophy, as of April 2025.
RR, who reached the IPL 2022 final, and DC, who lost the IPL 2020 summit clash, have been slotted into different groups in the IPL 2025. Hence, they will take on each other just once in the IPL 2025 league stage. The pair will face one another at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on April 16.
