What a match at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium!
Delhi Capitals secured a 6-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru, with KL Rahul delivering a brilliant knock.
This marks Delhi’s 4th consecutive win in IPL 2025. They’re looking strong early on.
RCB had a mixed outing with the bat. After a quick burst from Phil Salt and a steady hand from Virat Kohli, their innings faltered. By the 18th over, they were 127/7. But Tim David turned things around, smashing 37 off 20 balls with 4 sixes and 2 fours, helping RCB post a respectable 163/7.
On the bowling front, Kuldeep Yadav stood out for Delhi, returning 2/17 in 4 overs on a batting-friendly pitch.
Delhi’s chase began poorly, collapsing to 58/4. The middle order looked shaky, and the chase seemed to be slipping away — until KL Rahul took control.
He played one of the most mature yet destructive innings of the season, smashing 93 off 53 balls with 7 fours and 6 sixes to seal victory in just 17.5 overs.
A crucial moment in RCB’s innings was the controversial runout of Phil Salt, who was in demolition mode with 37 off 17 balls. A miscommunication with Kohli sent him back, sparking debate — was it Kohli’s recurring issue with risky running, or Salt’s misjudgment?
But RCB’s bigger concern was their pace attack. Josh Hazlewood — one of the most experienced pacers in the league — was a complete non-starter. These are the bowlers meant for crunch moments, yet none could disrupt Rahul’s rhythm or build pressure in the death overs.
Rahul’s knock wasn’t just a win — it was a statement. With the T20 World Cup around the corner, he reminded everyone of his ability to anchor, absorb pressure, and finish in style. And truth be told, he seems to have a personal score with RCB — he’s always in monstrous form against them.
If the BCCI truly values form and temperament, this version of Rahul — selfless, composed, and match-winning — is too good to ignore. If he’s left out of the T20 World Cup squad, it’s BCCI’s loss.
Delhi Capitals are on a roll, unbeaten in four. KL Rahul turned what looked like a lost cause into a comfortable win.
For RCB, the issues are piling up — their pace attack misfired, a solid start was squandered, and internal miscommunication proved costly. They need answers fast. The IPL waits for no one.
