One-run chaos, a Super Over twist, and a 105-run hammering. That’s the vibe of RR vs DC Head To Head in IPL history.
After 31 clashes, Delhi Capitals are barely ahead at 16 wins, while Rajasthan Royals sit right behind on 15. This rivalry never stays one-sided for long.
RR owned phases, DC bounced back harder, and the latest chapter in 2025 needed a Super Over to settle it. Jos Buttler owns the top score with 116, while Pawan Negi still has the best spell at 4/18.
Basically, whenever these two meet, something dramatic happens.
