IPL 2026: RCB Just Want To Continue Doing The Right Things, Not Thinking Too Far, Says Krunal
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Krunal Pandya has refused to look too far ahead despite his side's emphatic nine-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals on Monday, insisting the only currency that matters in the IPL is continuing to do the right things. The empathic win at the Arun Jaitley Stadium also helped RCB retain their position in the standings, with six league games still to play. The beauty of this league is every team has some world-class players. So you can't think that far ahead in the tournament. It's a very cliche thing, we all say that follow the process, trust the process. But, that only thing works. So, we are not thinking that, I mean, too far. Again, technically, just 60 percent of the games have been played and there are still more six league games to go. We just want to continue doing the right things more often than not. Just stick to the process and just how can we win those small battles where eventually, you can get the desired results, what you want. But, I mean, we are not thinking that too far, said Pandya in the post-match press conference. With defending champions RCB tightening their grip on a playoffs berth, Pandya reminded how the side still has to work hard for its wins. Right now, we are just thinking that how can we reach Ahmedabad (for the clash against Gujarat Titans) and be fresh for the game. I have always felt it's a team game. For me, winning trophies is the ultimate goal because I always believe personal milestone fades away. But trophies build legacy. So, I have always played this sport to win trophies. When you are playing personally, right, you have to believe that you have the capability as a team and as an individual to win that. So, yes, I mean, but again, nothing comes easy in life. You just have to grind and work hard to get what you want. The evening also marked another milestone in Virat Kohli's remarkable IPL career of being the first batter to reach 9000 runs - and Pandya was generous in his admiration for the talismanic batter. Virat Kohli has been one of the greatest who has played, right? Obviously, the achievements he has in the last 15-20 years, since he has been playing in 2008, it has been unbelievable. I have said this before, to have that sort of consistency, and the hunger he has, I mean, kudos to him. He has changed the way people see the sport, right? From a fitness point of view, he has been the flag-bearer of that, how the fitness culture has come in India, in terms of that. Obviously, as an individual, when you achieve a milestone, you get 100 percent satisfaction that you have seen the result of all the hard work you have put in for so many years. So, whatever hard work we all do, we want that result. Obviously, he has so many achievements in his life, so I haven't asked him how he is feeling because he has achieved so many things in such a big career. I hope he continues in the same way, and wins more matches for us, and gives happiness to everyone, he elaborated. Much of the attention has been on Pandya's bowling, who picked 1/9 in New Delhi, though Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood were the main wreckers in chief on Monday. The side-arm slinging balls and the bouncer he has introduced this season - an unconventional addition to a left-arm spinner's repertoire that has begun attracting attention around the competition, with RCB batting coach and mentor Dinesh Karthik calling him a trendsetter. Obviously first of all, coming from DK means a lot. Someone who's played so much of cricket and coming from him means a lot. I introduced the bouncer because every year the opposition prepares against you - what you did right and wrong. So it's more of a mental game as well sometimes, with skill set. When I came here last year, I had a very good season with RCB. So I was just thinking, what else can I add? Or which thing can I add so that I can be one step ahead in the mental game against the batter. So with that thought process, I introduced the bouncer and with that, I bowl in the low-arm trajectory. So it is something which, you know, I guess it's more sort of bouncing for a spinner, it's not that easy. But a lot is dependent on how fit you are because, it's difficult to come two steps ahead and bounce at pace. But my action is like that and I've not been scared of trying new things. I've always taken it as a challenge. Although, there are a lot of times in IPL where there are match-ups and left-hander batsman is batting, so left-arm spinner can't bowl. So I took it as a challenge, that it's not like that. Let me try something new and let's see how it goes. So far it has worked and I guess a lot of people have started copying it and DK is saying trendsetter, I like it. The origins of that bouncer, it emerged, stretch back not to any high-performance coaching facility but to the time when Pandya played games in villages, much before his breakout time in IPL and India colours came in 2012/13. The boundaries there were very small. So, if you used to bowl conventional left-hand spin there, you would get beaten up a lot. So, actually, this thought process and mindset came to me many years ago. So, there I learned bouncer, wide yorker, everything. Then, obviously, when I started playing IPL, the way my role in the team was to contain, I was able to contain. So, I never felt that I have to add new things and all of that. But this year, it felt like, in the last 2-3 years, because of the impact player, the way the batsmen are batting, sometimes, when you are standing on the run-up, it feels like, where should I bowl, as every ball is a sixer. So, thinking about that, I added the bouncer. Like I said, I didn't practice a lot of short balls in nets because it takes a lot of effort to bowl in the net. So, I have preserved myself to bowl in the match. But a lot of things depend on fitness. Pandya was equally expansive on the role fitness plays in allowing a bowler to evolve and experiment. I have always kept fitness as a priority, because I feel when you are young, your body recovers very well, you don't realise that much. But when over a period of time, food, fitness is a very integral part for any athlete because sometimes, when you want to evolve your game, you know mentally. But because your body is not that fit, it doesn't allow you to do it. But fitness adds value, when you want to change something, and you want to adapt something new, your body allows you to adapt new things. So, yes, I have always emphasised and focused on fitness, which helps me to add new things - whether it's about the bouncer, or the bowling while bending. I have always said that Malolan (Rangarajan), our spin bowling coach, he also gets a lot of credit because I feel that when I came to RCB, my role changed. I got the liberty to go for wickets and can experiment. That trust was there, in a way. So that sometimes really helped, because as a player, if the coach is backing you so much, and the coach is giving you so much confidence, that 100 percent helps. Over a period of time, I like this responsibility of going for wickets, and I can try my new things, which I like it, because it's not just to look cool, that I have put a bouncer - there is a lot of logic and reasoning behind it as well, that why I want to bowl that. So there is a healthy discussion, and yes, Malo also takes a lot of credit for that, where he has allowed me to be myself. Pandya reserved his warmest words for RCB captain Rajat Patidar, whose calm temperament has been a defining influence since the championship win in 2025. I mean, the way Rajat has led the team, it has been amazing. The best part of Rajat, what I have realised is that he gives confidence to the players and he allows them to be themselves in the game. Over a period of time, I like this responsibility of going for wickets, and I can try my new things, which I like it, because it's not just to look cool, that I have put a bouncer - there is a lot of logic and reasoning behind it as well, that why I want to bowl that. So there is a healthy discussion, and yes, Malo also takes a lot of credit for that, where he has allowed me to be myself. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Obviously, there are a lot of senior players in our team. A lot of credit goes to the support staff as well. The way Mo, Andy, DK, Malolan, Omi, how they have operated with the team, a lot of credit goes to them. All credit goes to Rajat also and how he has been able to lead the side consistently so well.

It Was A Bad Luck, We've To Forget This Day And Move On: Axar
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Delhi Capitals skipper Axar Patel put his team being bundled out for 75 to Royal Challengers Bengaluru as ad luck, but acknowledged the psychological shadow cast by their previous match, where they failed to defend 264/2 against Punjab Kings, may have contributed to a hesitancy that proved fatal. At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, DC were bowled out for just 75 after losing six wickets in their first four overs, handing RCB a stunning nine-wicket victory. What also made the game a foregone conclusion was the international level batters and two promising youngsters in DC surrendering meekly without a plan B to counter swing and bounce generated by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood. I think because of what happened in the last game, I felt that even after doing so much as a team, you can win nine out of ten times. But after that it felt like we could not defend back-to-back - so I feel there was some hesitation because of that. Other than that, I think it was bad luck. No batter could really settle down. It was not like someone got set. We lost wickets in one or two balls. I think we lost six wickets in 1516 balls. I think it was bad luck, you have to forget this day and move on, Axar said in the post-match press conference. In DC making 264/2 against PBKS, KL Rahul smashed a record-breaking 152 not out while Nitish Rana hit 91. The dramatic reversal on Monday, where both Rahul and Rana were bounced out by Josh Hazlewood when the ball was hooping around, appeared to weigh on Axar's assessment of the conditions. If you look at the first over, there was swing. Later, once the second ball from Chameera got hit for a boundary, the swing stopped and it becomes a different game. When you score 6070 runs in the first innings, bowlers come in with a bit of low morale and that is in the back of their mind. Even if you motivate yourself, somewhere you feel it is a really low score. In the first over, there was swing for Kyle (Jamieson), but it changed after that one boundary. I do not think our bowlers did anything wrong. The way we batted, I would call it bad luck. Because of that, we cannot blame the bowlers, added Axar. He also defended the decision to hand an IPL debut to promising teenaged opener Sahil Parekh, who replaced Pathum Nissanka and took the strike ahead of Rahul and was dismissed second ball by a late inswinging yorker from Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The reason was to have a left-right combination at the top because we had two right-handers opening. We wanted to use that option in the back of our mind. Also, the way he has been practicing, the hard work he has been putting in, and how he performed in nets and practice matches, we felt he deserved a chance. So seeing all those factors, we gave a chance to the new boy. It was his first match and he got out early on the second ball, so I cannot judge. But the way he has been batting, we believe he has potential to do something special and he can do well for Delhi in the long run, he added. On the inability of his batters to handle high-pressure situations and high-quality bowling when the routine script of see ball and hit ball in T20 cricket is not dished out, Axar was candid that the responsibility ultimately falls on the individual. I think preparation is personal. As a team, you can say that. But, as a player, you also have a responsibility that what should be your preparation if you are going to play IPL or international cricket. If you talk about me, then my personal preparation is that, if I go to play cricket international, IPL or domestic I do undertake one, as you yourself know your strengths and weaknesses. So, I feel that, uncapped players - I don't think, they only do range hitting because, even after IPL, the camps, I think, we did it in Surat, Hyderabad, Delhi. Now, our team is also in Dubai. So, we take uncapped players there also and we give them a chance to continuously stay in cricket for those who don't play domestic or those who continue to play, whenever they get a break, for them, we make them prepare. I don't think they only practice range hitting. They also practice basics. At the same time, it's a personal choice whether someone wants to do drills or not. I think, it's personal preparation. But, yes, I feel that, as Delhi Capitals and support staff, they give them these facilities. Those who want it, they can improve their game and I can also see that. But, yes, I feel that uncapped players should focus on basics. If your basics are strong, then you do range hitting on your own, he elaborated. On the question of team changes ahead of their remaining six fixtures, including one on cards with Mitchell Starc available from May 1, Axar was emphatic - stability, not overhaul, would be his way of ensuring DCs playoff prospects are kept alive in an increasingly precarious situation. If you look at the last eight matches, it's the first time that we've played bad cricket or collapsed. I don't think you'll get results if you make a lot of changes. It's important to have a good mindset and be mentally prepared. There won't be a lot of changes in the team, but yes, it's important to be mentally stable and move forward together. It's important to have a mindset and be mentally prepared. You won't get results if you make a lot of changes in the team. See, it is not like we will play the remaining matches without pressure. In the last eight-nine matches we played, there was pressure. You cannot say there will be pressure or not. But at the same time, you have to do what you can and follow your process. You have to move on and you have to come every day with focus and preparation. You can't think that you will go and get an easy win. You can't think that you will go and do it or it will happen. You have to focus and be on point like the IPL is going on. I feel that the next six matches we have to follow our preparation and process and anything can change anytime, he elaborated. On what will be his own leadership philosophy during a difficult period, Axar outlined the choice he was putting before his players and to the broader DC fanbase. See, if the fans are disheartened, even the players are just as disheartened. After so much hard work, it hurts to lose as we do not play to lose a game. I think this is the time they should support the players. It should not be that you support only when we win, as the players feel a little down after a loss like this. Whether we win or lose, support should remain the same. The important thing is that you are supporting a team, continue doing that and have trust and belief. On what will be his own leadership philosophy during a difficult period, Axar outlined the choice he was putting before his players and to the broader DC fanbase.

I think this is the time they should support the players. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I will motivate the players in this way - either you have two chances - you can point out someone, or you can think that the batsman didn't do anything, or the bowler didn't do anything. You can give yourself excuses or, as a team, you can be with the team and fight ahead in the remaining six games and we will face result together without worrying about it, he concluded.

IPL 2026: Swing And Mayhem - How Test Virtues Helped RCB Dismantle DC In Powerplay
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Four overs, 23 deliveries, eight runs and six wickets the result of the clash between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru was very much decided before a majority of the crowd, after completing their work shifts, took their seats at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The Kotla crowd on Monday had come for just one guy; Virat Kohli. RCB's team bus drew louder cheers than Delhi's own - a small but pointed reminder of who this fixture really belongs to. The fans sporting Kohli, 18 jersey had their moneys worth when the talismanic batter duly finished off the chase in seven overs. But what lingered as fans came out of the stadium much earlier than expected ending time was something they had not bargained for - a powerplay so dominated by accurate Test match lengths, swing and bounce. The chatter was not much about the joy of seeing Kohli reach Mount 9000 runs in IPL, but whether they had somehow wandered into a Test match in England via Bhuvneshwar, the newest joint wicket taker in the competition, and Hazlewood, who got his fourth scalp with a pin-point yorker to castle Abishek Porel. In a tournament that has spent recent weeks redefining the limits of batting - DC themselves posted 264 in their previous outing and talking about the lack of bat and ball balance, the proceedings of Monday night in New Delhi felt like a gentle course correction. The venue which saw batters make 5329 runs on pitch number six Saturday offered something different under the floodlights via pitch number five on Monday: swing, seam, impeccable lengths and unpredictable bounce. Hazlewood, operating with the economy of a man who wastes nothing, became the tormentor in chief alongside Bhuvneshwar, who laid the foundation for the carnage. A swinging delivery angled away outside off drew an outside edge from debutant Sahil Parakh that fell short of third man. Bhuvneshwar noticed what he needed to notice: the highly-talked left-handed batter would not move his feet, and surely not resist a delivery shaped to look hittable. The next ball from Bhuvneshwar, who consistently got two to four degrees of swing, was fuller, angling in and came in late to castle Parakh for a duck. KL Rahul arrived carrying fresh momentum from his 152 not out against the Punjab Kings. He is the only batter in the competition's history to have scored more than a hundred runs against Hazlewood, and had scored boundaries off him early on when DC had upstaged RCB at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Hazlewood's response was to go short, early, and with pace. The ball rose hard into Rahul's body and the pull shot, though instinctive, took a top-edge and Jitesh Sharma settled beneath it well to end Rahuls stay. Sameer Rizvi, lured by a full ball in the channel outside off stump, edged behind while attempting a drive while Tristan Stubbs fended a late-swinging delivery to first slip. DC captain Axar Patel, trying to exercise the discipline his colleagues had abandoned, left the first delivery well enough. But then Bhuvneshwar switched angles, going around the wicket and found his bottom edge, which was safely pouched by the keeper. Hazlewoods bounce would create problems for Nitish Rana, who was in an ugly tangle against the short ball and gave a catch to gully. By the time power-play ended, before a feeble dust storm came into the picture, DCs score read as 13/6, the lowest powerplay score in the competition's 19-year history. The numbers exist, but they risk obscuring what was actually happening at the crease: two experienced bowlers at their menacing best making and executing decisions four or five steps ahead of the batters facing them. Each dismissal had a logic that became visible only in retrospect, leading to more glee for RCB. It was unbelievable. Again, world-class bowlers. You are talking about Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood. Seeing them operate from both the ends, they were bowling 18 balls each in powerplay. We talk a lot in the league, that batsmen are making 200-250 runs and they are hitting sixes and fours everywhere. Suddenly, a match comes where you see two world-class bowlers bowling and doing their thing, where the wicket was not that bad. But it was pure out-and-out, their skill set. For so many years, why they are one of the best bowlers in the world going around, they showed that by bowling 18-18 balls. So, it was quite pleasing to see. I mean, to get six wickets in powerplay, which is almost literally, you have taken the game away from the opponent. So, it was quite fun out there and we are lucky to have them there in our team, said RCB left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Krunal Pandya, while replying to a question from IANS, in the post-match press conference. The larger question is whether Monday's events represent an anomaly or an argument. T20 cricket has accelerated relentlessly in recent years, with ground dimensions, batting techniques and rule changes all tilting the contest toward batters. Scores above 200 have become routine. Bowling attacks are increasingly managed and pencilled to limit damage rather than take wickets. But for the first 30 minutes at the Kotla, two practitioners of the good old Test match virtues made that entire batting heavy framework look provisional. The conditions gave them something, and they were good enough to know exactly what to do with it. Axar, who looked baffled and shell shocked at the same time, could only give kudos to Bhuvneshwar and Hazlewood for rattling DC, who looked like a deer caught between headlights and bring them cruelly down to Earth after ransacking 264 took them to cloud nine in batting. No, seriously, I feel that, just two days ago, there was a match, and that wicket, and this wicket also, it felt similar and everything was there. So I think, back of the mind, batters felt that there will be similar bounce and conditions. But the wind was also blowing, and that was a day match, and this was a night match, so because of that, I felt that that swing moment was more. At the same time, I think Bhuvi and Hazlewood are world-class bowlers. That swing, I think, in the first two overs, they are used to getting it done, irrespective of the wicket, or ground. But the way they were getting it, they did a good job and they bowled well. The batters, I feel that in the last match, they were in momentum and felt it will be good to feel the ball on the bat again. In that, they got one or two outs. After that, under pressure, I think, whoever went suddenly got a shock that, No, this just happened. So I think, for that, as a professional, they should be prepared. But, yes, that happened. In the last match, the momentum, batters felt that they will play a good wicket. But we will give credit to them that they also bowled very good balls, he added. The batters, I feel that in the last match, they were in momentum and felt it will be good to feel the ball on the bat again. In that, they got one or two outs.

IPL 2026: Pressure On The Batting Side Is Immense When Hazlewood, Bhuvi Are Bowling, Says Padikkal
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru left-handed batter Devdutt Padikkal praised the teams new-ball bowlers Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar for their devastating spells against Delhi Capitals, saying the pressure they created in the first six overs set the tone for the match. Hazlewoods 4-12 and Bhuvneshwars 3-5 ensured RCB bowled out DC for 75, the lowest total of this season, which they chased down with 81 balls to spare. The duo picked three wickets each in the power-play to ensure DC never recovered from being blown away early on. I think it was great to see the way we bowled in those first six overs. Those two are so good with the new ball. And when you have that from both ends, I think the pressure on the batting side is immense, and that really showed today, Padikkal said at the conclusion of the game. Asked about his experience of fielding in the slips when the duo were bowling, Padikkal said, I was expecting a catch every ball, and that's not something you would say in a T20 game. But the way those two are bowling, every ball is an opportunity. On his own slip catching, the left-hander said, I think it's a lot to do with time out there. I think when I started doing slip fielding initially in my career, I wasn't really good at it. But as you do it more often, I think you get better at it. And it's all about picking the ball as early as you can and making sure your hands are soft.

IPL 2026: I Just Followed Bhuvi, There Was A Little Bit Swing In The First Six Overs, Says Hazlewood
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengalurus pace bowling spearhead Josh Hazlewood said he was just following the example of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and felt that there was some movement on offer to exploit, which became very deadly in them beating Delhi Capitals by nine wickets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday. Hazlewoods 4-12 and Bhuvneshwars 3-5 ensured RCB bowled out DC for 75, the lowest total of this season, which they chased down with 81 balls to spare. Probably turning up after 500+ runs, you don't expect that. I just followed Bhuvi. There was a little bit there in the first six overs. It was a little bit up and down. Once the ball got soft, it became consistent. You want the batter to hit down the V, but I thought there was something in the wicket in that area, then I thought to hit the pitch, it was nice to see the ball hit the higher part of the bat, said Hazlewood at the conclusion of the game, where he was named Player of the Match. Asked if RCB are looking good to defend the title, Hazlewood said, It would have been nice to bowl four overs and get off the field (laughs). But we are ticking every box. We summed up conditions nicely in the away games last year, we are hitting our straps now at the right time of the tournament. Bhuvneshwar, who leads the Purple Cap race, said the ball has been swinging more this season. I think it is swinging this year. I don't know whether it's ball or wickets or whatever, but when the ball swings and you get a few wickets upfront, it makes it easier for us to bowl the back end of the series, he said. In his conversations with Hazlewood during the spell, Bhuvneshwar said, Yes, it was a good, good batting wicket, especially the ball, the way the ball was coming onto the bat. Yes, there was a swing, and I think it (was) one of the good days where you bowl it because nicking or getting bowled. So we were fortunate to get those initial wickets.

Following his side's one-sided win over Delhi Capitals (DC), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) skipper Rajat Patidar expressed surprise with the way the wicket played and hailed his bowlers.
IPL 2026: When You Go Into The Next Match, You Have To Forget This And Move On, Says Axar
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Delhi Capitals skipper Axar Patel has urged his side to quickly put behind the disappointment of their heavy nine-wicket loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru and focus on the matches ahead, stressing that negativity will only hurt their campaign in the demanding IPL 2026 season. At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar ran through the DC batting line-up with impeccable lengths, swing and bounce to bundle them out for 75, which defending champions RCB chased down with 81 balls to spare. I still dont understand what happened. But everyone says that in cricket, every day you have to be on your toes, and you have to come back and do the same things again and again. But yes, when you go into the next match, you have to forget this and move on, Axar said at the conclusion of the game. On the early swing that undid his sides top order, Axar said the top three batters could have negotiated the swing better. I wouldnt say surprised - they are world-class bowlers, and they swing the ball anywhere, they have done it on every ground. But yes, I feel if our openers or one of the top-order batters had negotiated those first couple of overs better, it could have made a difference, and the match might have been different. But credit to them for the way they bowled. Reflecting on momentum shifts for DC, who are now on a three-game losing streak, Axar said, Yes, if I talk about today, you can think like that. But I feel ifs and buts will keep happening. You might think that if we had taken that catch or completed that run in the GT game, maybe the momentum would have stayed. But these things keep happening. Whats important is that you come every day and keep doing the same things, stay on your toes, and keep doing what youve been doing. The IPL is a very tough tournament - you cant think even for a day that things will come easy. You have to come and execute every time. Yes, momentum matters, but you cant keep thinking what if that had happened. Its better to focus on whats in front of you, he elaborated. But these things keep happening. Whats important is that you come every day and keep doing the same things, stay on your toes, and keep doing what youve been doing. Also Read: Live Cricket Score So we have to forget this and move ahead. I'll also tell the team the same - one bad game doesnt mean you start pointing fingers or blaming the batters. We need to stay positive, continue what weve been doing in the last 6-7 matches, and keep the right mindset. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Star As RCB Complete Nine-wicket Rout Of Listless DC (ld)
Impact Player Abishek Porel: Sizzling spells from Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar helped defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru storm to a nine-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals in a one-sided match in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Monday. The right-arm pace duo ripped through DCs batting order through a devastating new-ball spell, as the hosts were bundled out for just 75 before Devdutt Padikkal and Virat Kohli hit 34 and 23 not out respectively to wrap the chase with 81 balls to spare, sealing a win that was emphatic and swift in equal measure. Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar combined for taking six wickets inside the first four overs, producing prodigious movement and bounce after hitting the deck, which was more reminiscent of a Test match than an IPL game, and ensured DC were bowled out for the lowest score of this season. Outside edges flew, batters were beaten repeatedly, and DC had no answers to counter Hazlewood (4-12) and Bhuvneshwar (3-5). Impact Player Abishek Porel's 30 off 33 was the lone bright spot in an otherwise dismal batting effort, as no other DC batter crossed 20 and fell like ninepins. As per CricViz, DC became just the second team in IPL history to lose six wickets inside the Power-play in a non-rain curtailed game. The only previous occurrence came in IPL 2011, when Kochi Tuskers Kerala slumped to 29/6 against Deccan Chargers. Coincidentally, both of these happened on April 27. Not many thought of mayhem coming DC's way when Bhuvneshwar Kumar's probing away-swinging delivery drew an edge off debutant Sahil Parakh, and trickled harmlessly to short third man. But on the very next ball, Bhuvneshwar struck with lethal precision - a sharp, late in-swinging yorker from over the wicket sneaked past Parakh's blade and castled him for a two-ball duck. Hazlewood raised the tempo of carnage with two huge blows in as many deliveries. A brutal short ball cramped KL Rahul for room on the pull, and the top edge settled into Jitesh Sharma's safe gloves, while debutant Sameer Rizvi was enticed in chasing one around the off-stump, and the outside edge on an expansive drive was grabbed by the keeper. Tristan Stubbs momentarily lifted DCs spirits by clipping Hazlewood's hat-trick ball for four. But the reprieve was fleeting as Bhuvneshwar, relentless and unerring, found Stubbs' outside edge with another late swinging delivery and was safely pouched by first slip. He then extracted the outside edge of captain Axar Patel, with Jitesh taking another catch. Hazlewood then completed DC's misery by producing a sharp short ball that tangled Nitish Rana, and an ugly glove-edge was caught by gully, as DC were in absolute tatters at 9/6 inside four overs. Bhuvneshwar and Hazlewood became the first pair of bowlers in IPL history to each claim three wickets inside the powerplay in the same game, which underlined just how comprehensively they dismantled DC. When the six-over phase ended, Delhi's 13/6 became the new record for the lowest powerplay score in IPL history. Abishek Porel and David Miller then offered some resistance by plundering boundaries off Rasikh Salam Dar and Romario Shepherd to stage a brief recovery. But the brief 35-run stand off 31 balls was broken by Rasikh, as Miller, attempting to heave across the line against a pacy short ball, toe-ended to a grateful Jitesh. Amid a feeble dust storm swirling around the ground, Kyle Jamieson pulled Shepherd handsomely over mid-wicket for six to take DC to their fifty in 10.2 overs and spare them from the additional ignominy of the lowest total in IPL history. Even as Suyash Sharma troubled Porel, Jamieson's defiance was ended by Krunal Pandya, who joined the wicket-taking party with a good length delivery that straightened after pitching on off-stump and trapped him plumb lbw. After Suyash castled Kuldeep Yadav with a ripping leg-break, Hazlewood fittingly ended DCs misery by rattling Porels middle stump with a pin-perfect yorker. RCBs pursuit of a modest 76 began with Impact Player Jacob Bethell flicking him for four, before Virat Kohli, surrounded by the familiar chants of Kohli, Kohli around the ground, got off the mark by lofting Dushmantha Chameera down the ground for a wonderful boundary. Then Bethell shifted gears with breathtaking suddenness - whacking Jamieson for a brace of sixes over mid-wicket fence, one of which was a monstrous 104m hit. Jamieson, to his credit, struck back when Bethell mistimed a loft and T Natarajan, sprinting back from mid-on, produced the catch of the evening - taking it cleanly over his shoulder and without touching the rope to dismiss him for a dazzling 20 off 11 balls. With RCB making the double of DCs power-play score in three overs, Devdutt Padikkal began by lofting Chameera over long-off for six, before whipping Jamieson over the square-leg fence for another maximum. Padikkal brought up RCBs fifty in 4.3 overs with a one-legged pulled four through mid-wicket, before carting him through fine leg for another boundary, and then produced the shot of the night giving himself room to loft over mid-off for six. After RCB ended the Power-play at 65/1, Kohli finished off the easy chase in style lofting Natarajan down the ground for six, before going on the backfoot to pull over deep mid-wicket for another maximum to complete a comprehensive victory for the defending champions. With RCB making the double of DCs power-play score in three overs, Devdutt Padikkal began by lofting Chameera over long-off for six, before whipping Jamieson over the square-leg fence for another maximum. Padikkal brought up RCBs fifty in 4.3 overs with a one-legged pulled four through mid-wicket, before carting him through fine leg for another boundary, and then produced the shot of the night giving himself room to loft over mid-off for six.

Chasing just 76, after bundling out DC for 75 in 16.3 overs, RCB were never troubled, as Devdutt Padikkal and Virat Kohli hit 34 and 23 not out respectively to wrap the chase with 81 balls to spare and seal a win that was emphatic and swift in equal measure. The damage had been inflicted much earlier. Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar swung the new ball all around to reduce DC to 8/6 in the first four overs. From there on, DC were always playing for survival with only Abishek Porel offering resistance via 30. With RCB getting an emphatic victory, it was a bruising defeat for DC both in terms of net run rate and morale. They now face the challenge of regrouping quickly, while RCBs comprehensive performance leaves little doubt about their growing momentum in the tournament.

IPL 2026: Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Sizzle As RCB Bowl Out Listless DC For Just 75
Impact Player Abishek Porel: Royal Challengers Bengalurus pace duo Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar ripped through Delhi Capitals batting through a devastating new-ball spell, as the hosts were bundled out for just 75 in Match 39 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Monday. The pair combined for picking six wickets inside the first four overs, producing movement and bounce more reminiscent of a Test match than an IPL game.

Impact Player Abishek Porels 30 off 33 was the lone bright spot in an otherwise dismal batting effort, as no other DC batter crossed 20 and fell like ninepins. With just 75 on the board, the contest now hinges only on how quickly RCB can chase down the target, their bowlers having already delivered a masterclass in dismantling an opposition. Not many thought of mayhem coming DC's way when Bhuvneshwar Kumar's probing away-swinging delivery drew an edge off debutant Sahil Parakh, and trickled harmlessly to short third-man. But on the very next ball, Bhuvneshwar struck with lethal precision - a sharp, late-in-swinging yorker from over the wicket sneaked past Parakh's blade and castled him for a two-ball duck.

IPL 2026: Jamieson, Parakh, Chameera Come In For DC As Unchanged, RCB Elect To Bowl First
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Kyle Jamieson and Sahil Parakh have been handed debut caps by Delhi Capitals, who have also included Dushmantha Chameera, as Royal Challengers Bengaluru, unchanged from their previous match, won the toss and elected to bowl first in Match 39 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Monday. Defending champions RCB have five wins in seven games and are in second place on the points table. DC, meanwhile, need a win to keep themselves in good standing in the race to the playoffs after losing four of their last five games, which means they are in seventh spot. After winning the toss, RCB captain Rajat Patidar said, This venue is a high-scoring ground, it will not make much difference, we will try to put them under pressure in the second innings. The most important thing is that different players are coming up and delivering in different matches. We have played some good cricket and continue to carry that momentum. It is in the past; we are looking to play good cricket. DC skipper Axar Patel said Chameera, Jamieson, who previously played for RCB and Punjab Kings in the IPL, and Parakh, the teenage Maharashtra batter, come into the playing eleven in place of Pathum Nissanka, Mukesh Kumar, and Auqib Nabi Dar. Fast bowler Lungi Ngidi, who had an unfortunate head injury while taking a catch against the Punjab Kings and was later discharged after being taken to the hospital, is not available for the game after not being spotted during the pre-game practice session. I would have fielded if I won the toss. The ground dimensions are small, the pitch also gets better, so we would have chased as well. In the IPL, you score 264 and lose, but it is a long tournament. We had a good game with bat and ball; if we had held our chances, then the result would be different. You need to keep continuing to do the work, even our best fielders drop catches, so luck is not on our side, but we cannot sit around thinking about it. We have to strike in the powerplay, though Mukesh has done well, he needs a break, and we are bringing in international bowlers, he said. Mondays game will be played on pitch number five, where the Gujarat Titans made 210 earlier this season, and DC fell short by one run in a humdinger of a clash. In their pitch report, Danny Morrison and Eoin Morgan observed that with 63m square boundaries on either side, the pitch has a slightly drier look. They further reckoned it would be interesting to see if the ball spins and has some bite for the spinners.
