DC posted a target of 163.
On the first ball of the seventh over of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash, Delhi Capitals (DC) bowler Kuldeep Yadav and KL Rahul playfully asked for a review when Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) Virat Kohli took the keeper’s catch. The RCB opener took a one-handed catch when Kuldeep was returning the ball to Rahul from midwicket.
Vipraj Nigam was bowling the said over while no run was conceded on that ball. At that time, RCB were 35/3 after 6.1 overs with Kohli (15) and Krunal Pandya (2) on the crease.

Earlier, RCB skipper Rajat Patidar won the toss and chose to take the field. DC played a slow innings as they posted 162/8 at their home ground, Arun Jaitley Stadium. Though KL Rahul was the top scorer with 41 runs, he took 39 balls to reach there. An 18-ball 34 cameo from Tristan Stubbs gave DC some hope of a decent total. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the pick of the bowlers with a three-wicket haul. However, Suyash Sharma’s spell, albeit wicketless, pulled back the DC batters. The spinner gave away just 22 runs in his quota of four overs.

In the second innings, DC’s top order departed within five overs. However, the local boy, KL Rahul, claimed the ground. He dominated with an unbeaten 93 off 53 and pulled out a famous Kantara celebration. Rahul’s aggression on the pitch was a rare sight.
