IPL: Virat in focus as RCB host DC in high-stakes Chinnaswamy clash

BD Narayankar
Bengaluru, April 17 (UNI) Virat Kohli vs Delhi Capitals at the Chinnaswamy is never really a contest written in numbers. It is written in expectation, in memory, and in the quiet resignation that tends to settle over visiting teams before the first ball is bowled.
RCB are at the top of the table, four wins from five, carrying the slight arrogance of a side that has begun to trust its own reflection. Unbeaten at home, they do not so much defend the Chinnaswamy as inhabit it. The ground, with its short boundaries and forgiving skies, behaves less like a venue and more like an extension of their batting order.
