WATCH: 'RCB... RCB' chants erupt as former RCB stars Harshal Patel and Faf du Plessis face each other during DC vs SRH game

It was an amazing moment to witness for the fans in Visakhapatnam when former RCB skipper Faf du Plessis and former RCB pacer Harshal Patel faced off each other in the DC vs SRH, the 10th game of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025. Notably, both Faf and Harshal were a part of the RCB squad in IPL 2023.
