⚔️ The Clash of Titans: Match Overview
In what was expected to be a nail-biter at the ever-energetic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) clashed with the unbeaten Delhi Capitals (DC). RCB, eager to climb the points table, were up against a red-hot Delhi side led by the calm-and-collected KL Rahul.
Bengaluru fans brought the noise. Delhi brought the class.
🧾 RCB Innings: A Tale of Starts and Stops
Total: 163/7 (20 overs)
Top Scorer: Rajat Patidar – 55 (35 balls)
Wickets: Kuldeep Yadav – 2/24, Vipraj Nigam – 2/28
RCB got off to a decent start with Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli looking solid. But just as things started to heat up, Delhi’s bowlers turned down the thermostat. Kuldeep Yadav's wizardry and Vipraj Nigam’s precision kept the RCB lineup from firing on all cylinders.
Rajat Patidar was the lone warrior, smashing a brisk half-century to add respectability to the total. Unfortunately, the late overs saw more wickets than boundaries.

Total: 164/4 (19.2 overs)
Top Scorer: KL Rahul – 93* (58 balls)
Support Acts: Shai Hope – 29 (20 balls), Rishabh Pant – 18 (11 balls)
KL Rahul was in vintage form—cool, classy, and calculated. Anchoring the innings like a GPS with perfect signal, he played every bowler on merit, building his innings steadily before exploding towards the end.
Shai Hope offered solid support, and Rishabh Pant added a dash of flair, but it was truly Rahul’s night under the Bengaluru lights. DC chased down the total with 4 balls to spare, keeping their unbeaten streak alive and well.
