RCB Win By Six Wickets | DC vs RCB Highlights of IPL 2025: Krunal Pandya, Virat Kohli Lead Royal Challengers Bengaluru to Clinical Victory

That's it! What a partnership between Krunal Pandya and Virat Kohli. They were under pressure at one point and Krunal was struggling. But he kept grinding and ultimately got the hold on some of the bowlers to bring the asking rate under control. Virat Kohli kept giving him strike and rotated. In the end, Tim David's explosive knock finished things off in style although Kohli couldn't finish off. DC will be disappointed with such a performance. RCB will be elated as they are unbeaten away from home. 

Fifty for Virat Kohli. On a tricky deck he has not tried to overdo and just held one end. Kept knocking over strike to Krunal Pandya while the latter kept taking chances. Gradually reaches his half-century with RCB in a comfortable position. Meanwhile, Krunal Pandya has found way to two boundaries again. 

Fifty! Sensational batting from Krunal Pandya. Did not get much time batting up the order. Gets sent high amid collapse and plays a crucial half-century to keep his team in the game. Have also kept the asking rate under control. 

Solid batting from Krunal Pandya so far and he has brough RCB strongly back in the game. Krunal had taken chances against spinners and got two big overs which have turned the momentum. DC are in pressure now and will have to buy a wicket here. 

RCB have accumulated 29 runs from the four overs after powerplay where they have scalped some crucial boundaries and kept RCB alive in the game not allowing the asking rate to get out of control. Virat Kohli is out on the crease so they will hope that they can give Tim David and Jitesh Sharma some foundation. 

Some quality bowling from the Delhi Capitals bowlers in the powerplay and RCB doesn't get the start they wanted. They have lost three crucial wickets and currently have to look to consolidate before trying to attack. They don't have the impact player sub too. Have to be careful from here on. 

Out! What a moment in the game. Virat Kohli pushes a ball, takes a few steps and stops to check where the ball is going, Rajat Patidar responded early but the mid-wicket fielder picked up the ball and nailed a direct hit. Huge wicket for DC and RCB are in trouble now. Rajat Patidar run out (Karun Nair) 6(6).

Out! Big strikes from Axar Patel. Two wickets in one over and both the left handers are now back home. First Jacob Bethell tries to drag him to the onside and picks up the deep mid-wicket fielder. Then Devdutt Padikkal tries to play a slash and dragged on a fast-paced ball to the wicket. DC have secured their first job in hand. Time to squeeze the pressure on. Padikkal b Axar 0(2) and  Jacob Bethell c Karun Nair b Axar 12(6).

42 runs in the last three overs and Delhi Capitals will be relived to get to a place where they can stage a fight. Not the ideal situation for them but they were in a tricky position and two good overs from Tristan Stubbs and Vipraj Nigam took them to a fighting total. The pitch has not been easy and if they bowlers do their best, there could be aa strong battle. 

Out! Two big wickets in one over! First the well-set KL Rahul tries to go for the move on but couldn't get under a really full ball from Bhuvneshwar Kumar, scooping it to the hands of long-off. Bhuvneshwar landed a really good slower ball in the same over, cleaning up impact sub Ashutosh Sharma. DC still needs some explosion but they have wickets faltering. Ashutosh Sharma b Bhuvneshwar 2(3) and Rahul c Jacob Bethell b Bhuvneshwar 41(39).
