The 24th DC vs RCB IPL 2025 match was played on April 10, 2025, at the historic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru featuring DC vs RCB, which consisted of a series of ups and downs.
Delhi Capital performed clinically in both departments and defeated RCB at home for the second time, completing the chase of a modest total of 164 in relative comfort, which secured their fourth win which takes the top of the table. KL Rahul was awarded the player of the match for his winning knock of 92* runs off 53 deliveries.
RCB’s Inning: Bright Start, Fading Finish
Having lost the toss, RCB was asked to bat first. The hosts made a scorching beginning, posting 64 runs in the powerplay. Openers Phil Salt (37) and Virat Kohli (22) established a good 61-run stand. But a poor middle-order show saw them losing steam.
– Rajat Patidar scored 25 runs
– Krunal Pandya added 18
– Tim David contributed a vital 37 off 20 balls at the end, supporting RCB to 163/7 in 20 overs
DC Bowlers Shine with Disciplined Effort
Delhi bowlers gave a complete round of bowling to keep RCB to a sub-par score:
– Vipraaj Nigam: 2 wickets
– Kuldeep Yadav: 2 wickets
– Mukesh Kumar and Mohit Sharma: 1 wicket each
Their stifling spells during the middle overs were instrumental in slowing down RCB’s scoring rate post-powerplay.
DC’s Chase: KL Rahul Lights Up Bengaluru
Pursuing a score of 164, Delhi Capitals did lose some wickets early but were never out of sorts courtesy of an incredible performance from their anchor batter KL Rahul. The home lad remained not out, making 93 off 53 balls, with 7 fours and 6 sixes, and supervised a composed but forceful run chase.
Tristan Stubbs contributed crucial assistance at the other end, making 38 runs, as the pair saw DC reach the finish line in a mere 17.5 overs, with six wickets to spare.
