Delhi Capitals continue their winning run as they beat RCB in Bengaluru by 6 wickets courtesy of a fiery knock by KL Rahul on his home ground. His match-winning artnership with Tristan Stubbs got them to the top of the table on the night.
Earlier, Royal Challengers Bengaluru failed to capitalise on the explosive start by their openers and eventually managed to post just 163/7 in their 20 overs against Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025 at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
While Phil Salt's carnage took RCB to 61 within 4 overs, the opener was unfortunately run-out on the night after a mix-up with Kohli. While Kohli did manage to hit a few more shots, the wickets started to flow for DC in Bengaluru which saw the hosts struggle at 102/5 within 13 overs.
It was Tim David's 20-ball 37* which helped RCB push in the end as they were able to post 163/7 in their 20 overs.
Skipper Patidar did try to steady the ship but was eventually taken out by Kuldeep Yadav who went on to pick 2 wickets on the night. Spinner Vipraj also starred on the night as he took the prized wicket of Kohli and went on to bag another one in his spell. RCB 1st innings scorecard:
