DC Win by Six Wickets | RCB vs DC Highlights of IPL 2025: KL Rahul's Half-Century, Tristan Stubbs and Bowlers Shine As Delhi Capitals Register Fourth Consecutive Win

A dominant victory from the Delhi Capitals as they thrashed Royal Challengers Bengaluru at their home. Fourth consecutive victory for the Axar Patel-led side in the Indian Premier League 2025. They are the only team, who are still unbeaten in the tournament. With this victory, they are positioned second in the IPL 2025 standings. While chasing a tricky target of 164 runs, wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul played a match-winning unbeaten knock of 93 runs. Tristan Stubbs supported him and played an unbeaten knock of 38 runs, which helped the visitors to register a commanding win against Bengaluru. This is the second loss for the Bengaluru-based franchise.

A superb play from Tristan Stubbs and KL Rahul. After completing the half-century, KL Rahul has shifted his gears. The ace batter smashed Josh Hazlewood for 22 runs, which shifted the momentum. Tristan Stubbs, on the other hand, is ticking the scoreboard. Royal Challengers Bengaluru needs one or two wickets in the next two overs, otherwise it will be too late for them.

A fantastic half-century from the veteran! KL Rahul looked a little bit scratchy at the start, but has stayed at one end and kept fighting. This is the second half-century in the Indian Premier League 2025 season from the Delhi Capitals ace batter.

This game is wonderfully poised at the moment. For Delhi Capitals, KL Rahul is going to be the key for them on a pitch that's two-paced and has some variable bounce. Royal Challengers, on the other hand, are picking up regular wickets, and their bowlers are bowling tight lines. An interesting phase is coming up.

Out! Axar Patel holes out at long-off. Excellent bowling from Suyash Sharma, fired full outside off, and the Delhi Capitals went for the big shot. However, Axar hit it much straighter, and Tim David took a simple catch at the long-off region. RCB are dominating the phase. Axar Patel c Tim David b Suyash Sharma 15(11)

Excellent first powerplay for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The hosts picked up wickets at regular wickets after excellent bowling from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yash Dayal.

Out! Another batter perishes trying to play across the line. Royal Challengers Bengaluru are on top after picking the third wicket in the powerplay. Poor shot from Abhishek Porel. A short length delivery on leg-stump, and Porel played across the line. The ball went high in the night sky, and Jitesh Sharma took a stunning catch.

Out! Both openers are back in the hut. Just the start for Royal Challengers Bengaluru while defending a tricky score. Bhuvneshwar Kumar gets his first wicket of the match.

Out! Fantastic start for Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Yash Dayal. Delhi Capitals opener Faf du Plessis departs after scoring two runs. The opener played across the line and miscued the shot. RCB captain Rajat Patidar took a simple catch. Faf du Plessis c Rajat Patidar b Yash Dayal 2(7)

Royal Challengers Bengaluru have posted a fighting total on the board. After being slumped to 125/7 at one stage, Tim David's blistering knock of 37* runs helped the hosts to reach a decent total. Earlier, Phil Salt provided a fiery start, but he got run out, unfortunately. After Salt's wicket, Delhi Capitals bowlers restricted the run flow and kept taking wickets at regular intervals, which derailed RCB's innings. Towards the end, Tim David and Krunal Pandya chipped in and helped the hosts reach above the 160-run mark.
