In a thrilling IPL 2025 clash at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, the Delhi Capitals secured their fourth straight win by defeating Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six wickets. KL Rahul was the star of the match, anchoring the chase with a sensational unbeaten 93. Despite losing early wickets, Delhi remained composed, thanks to Rahul’s calculated aggression and calm under pressure.
Chasing RCB’s total, DC found themselves in a bit of a spot initially, but the momentum shifted once Rahul settled in. His innings was a perfect blend of caution and explosiveness—punishing loose deliveries and rotating the strike effectively. Partnered by Tristan Stubbs in the latter overs, the duo ensured DC maintained control throughout the chase.
The 15th and 16th overs were turning points, with Rahul hammering boundaries off Hazlewood and Suyash, significantly cutting down the required run rate. As the match entered the final three overs, a slight drizzle added urgency, but Rahul’s composure didn’t waver. In the 18th over, he sealed the victory in style—smashing a six, a reverse-swept four, a wide-boundary, and another six over fine leg to finish the match.
RCB's bowlers, including Hazlewood and Yash Dayal, struggled to contain the Delhi skipper, especially during the death overs. With this commanding performance, Delhi Capitals not only extended their winning streak but also signaled their strong form in the ongoing season. KL Rahul’s knock will be remembered as one of the finest chases in this edition so far.
