Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) defeated the Delhi Capitals (DC) by six wickets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi to exact revenge for their previous loss. With the victory in Match No. 46, RCB moved directly to the top of the Points Table and recorded their seventh victory of the 2025 IPL season.
Rajat Patidar’s bowlers kept strict control with disciplined line and lengths throughout the first innings, making it difficult for DC to get momentum. In the end, the DC batsmen were only able to score 162 for 8 in their 20 overs. With 41 runs, KL Rahul was the leading scorer, while Tristan Stubbs added some late pyrotechnics with a scorching 34 off 18 balls.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar became the second-highest wicket-taker in IPL history after taking three wickets with the ball. Josh Hazlewood helped him retake control of the Purple Cap by contributing two wickets as well.
When RCB lost three wickets for just 26 runs, they were in trouble right away. But with a vital 119-run partnership, Krunal Pandya and the king of the chase, Virat Kohli, steadied the innings. 51 off 47 balls was a cool knock from the right-handed batter. After today’s knock, Kohli has surpassed Sai Sudharsan and Nicholas Pooran to claim the Orange Cap. Krunal Pandya, on the other hand, scored 73 off 47 balls in an outstanding undefeated innings. Tim David gave the chase a satisfying finish by scoring 19 runs off of just 5 balls in the 19th over.
Although Axar Patel was the most impressive bowler for DC, finishing with figures of 2 for 19 in his four overs, nobody else looked particularly well with the ball. With seven victories in ten games following this triumph, RCB soared to the top of the points table, while DC, who had suffered their third defeat of the year, was in fourth position.
