RCB vs DC IPL 2025 Highlights: KL Rahul Steals the Show as Delhi Crush Bengaluru by 6 Wickets

You know that feeling when a match promises fire and delivers fireworks? Yeah, that was last night at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. On April 10, under the floodlights and the roar of a packed Bengaluru crowd, Delhi Capitals (DC) walked in cool, calm, and completely unbothered—and walked out undefeated.

And leading the charge? None other than KL Rahul, who played like the stadium was his backyard.

DC Chooses to Chase

Delhi skipper Axar Patel won the toss and—no surprises here—chose to bowl first. Chinnaswamy has always been a batting paradise, but this season? It’s got a twist.

Teams chasing have been winning, and Axar read the pitch (and RCB's form) like a pro.

A Start with Sizzle, an End with a Fizzle

RCB opened with Phil Salt and Virat Kohli, and boy, did they come out swinging! For the first few overs, it looked like a 200+ night.

But cricket, as always, had other plans.

Key Moments:

• •
  Salt got run out at the worst possible time, and the momentum dipped faster than a Bangalore power cut during summer.
• •
  RCB struggled in the middle overs, with wickets tumbling and scoreboard pressure creeping in.
• •
  Thank the cricket gods for Tim David. His late burst of 37 off 20 balls saved RCB from complete embarrassment, nudging them to 163/8.

Honestly? On a ground like this, 163 felt 15-20 runs short.

DC’s Run Chase: The KL Rahul Masterclass

If cricket was poetry, KL Rahul wrote a whole dang novel last night. A smooth, calculated, unbeaten 93 off 57 balls that made even Kohli nod in approval.

He timed the chase like a boss:

• •
  Didn’t panic when wickets fell.
• •
  Rotated strike like a metronome.
• •
  Unleashed boundaries just when DC needed a nudge.

And in the end? He stood tall as Delhi Capitals chased down the total with 6 wickets to spare.

Also, let’s give a quiet shoutout to the DC middle order—they supported Rahul well without trying to steal the limelight.

Trouble in Paradise?

Here’s the weird bit: RCB are slaying it away—they’ve beaten Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata on the road. But at home? It’s like the Chinnaswamy charm has run out.

• •
  2 home games, 2 losses.
• •
  Inconsistencies in the middle order.
• •
  Over-reliance on Virat & Salt.

Something’s gotta give if they want to stay in playoff contention.

Quick Stats from the Match

IPL 2025 Standings: DC Remain the Last Team Standing

Delhi Capitals have officially become the last undefeated team in IPL 2025. That’s big. The confidence, the momentum, the squad depth—it’s all clicking.

RCB, on the other hand, now stand at 2 wins out of 5. Not dire, but definitely shaky.

KL Rahul, You Beauty!

Let’s be honest—we’ve seen KL Rahul blow hot and cold over the years. But when he’s on, he’s ON. Last night’s knock was calm, classy, and clinical. He didn’t just chase the target; he owned it.

And Delhi? They’re not just winning. They’re winning smart.

RCB needs to regroup—and fast. With home form dipping, they can’t afford to let the crowd down again.
