IPL 2026: 'Lot Of Players Complete Their Quota And Leave, But Bhuvi Is Not Like That,' Says Chawla
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India leg-spinner Piyush Chawla lauded Bhuvneshwar Kumar for his relentless work ethic and commitment, stating that the senior pacers belief in quantity over quality practice played a key role in his match-winning performance for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) against Delhi Capitals (DC) on Monday. Chawla highlighted the ongoing debate around workload management and modern training methods, praising Bhuvneshwar Kumar for his intelligent and disciplined practice routine, which consistently translates into strong performances on the field. People talk about workload management and quality practice. I understand that after playing so many years, you know where to bowl. But still, you have to go out there and bowl the number of balls you want. I am not a big believer in only quality practice because I believe in quantity, and thats what Bhuvi also does. Whenever he goes to the nets, he makes sure he bowls eight to ten overs and gets that rhythm back. Thats what makes him a better bowler, Chawla told ESPNcricinfo. Chawla believes that Bhuvneshwars dedication to put in long hours in training and maintaining intensity across tournaments continues to set him apart from many peers. The good thing about Bhuvi is that he puts in a lot of effort. He makes sure that whatever games he is playing, he is playing with full intensity. I have seen a lot of players who come to domestic cricket, just complete their quota and leave, but he is not like that, he said. Chawla further emphasised that Bhuvneshwars commitment extends beyond international and IPL duties, pointing to his participation in domestic competitions. If he has come for a particular tournament, he stays there for the whole tournament. When he goes to the UP League as well, he plays all the matches. Its not a small tournament, its almost 25 to 30 days. Chawla further emphasised that Bhuvneshwars commitment extends beyond international and IPL duties, pointing to his participation in domestic competitions.

'There's A Genuine Fear Among Batters': Steyn On Pacers Dominating IPL 2026
Former South African: Former South African bowler Dale Steyn believes the ongoing season IPL season has tilted in favour of fast bowlers, pointing out that batters are facing a genuine fear because of technical changes and execution from the seamers. Observing the impact of premier quicks like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, Kagiso Rabada, and Jofra Archer, who are dominating the season with wickets and test-match-length bowling, Steyn said their consistency in hitting the right areas has left batters short of answers. Watching Bhuvi, Hazlewood, throw KG and Archer in there too, theres a genuine fear from batters. Not because theyre scared, but they know exactly where these greats are going to bowl and dont practice enough in that area to have answers, Steyn wrote in a post on X. He explained that the batter's struggle is largely technical, with players unable to adapt mid-tournament. The fear is technical skill. Its too deep into the tournament to change now. Watch these bowlers continue to dominate, he added. Steyn also highlighted the importance of disciplined length, a hallmark of successful fast bowling in the format. Its called a hard length for a reason, he added. Steyn's remarks come at a time when Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fast bowling due to Bhuvneshwar and Hazlewood completely dominated against Delhi Capitals (DC) at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday. Hazlewood finished with great figures of 4-12, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar also ended with 3-5, which ensured RCB bowled out DC for 75, the lowest total of this season. The 2025 champions chased down the total in just 6.3 overs while losing a single wicket.

Former New Zealand: Former New Zealand pacer Mitchell McClenaghan has lauded Virat Kohlis remarkable consistency while also highlighting the impact of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood following Royal Challengers Bengalurus emphatic nine-wicket win over Delhi Capitals in their recently concluded IPL 2026 match. RCBs thumping victory at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday was set up by a fiery new-ball spell from Bhuvneshwar and Hazlewood, who dismantled Delhis batting line-up to bowl them out for just 75, the lowest total of the season. The chase was then completed with ease, underlining RCBs all-round dominance. Reflecting on Kohlis sustained excellence in the tournament, McClenaghan emphasised the discipline and adaptability that have defined the veteran batters journey over the years. Virat Kohli has been incredibly consistent. Scoring 9000 IPL runs against the worlds best bowlers is no easy task. It's about hunger, discipline, and adapting every year, and thats what brings the best out of him. He has been in the IPL since 2008, and the best part is that he didnt start his career as an opener. He batted in the lower middle order, fought for his place, then moved to number three. Later, he opened with Chris Gayle. That changed his game completely. He will soon reach 10,000 runs, without a doubt. Kohli is the greatest batter the IPL has ever seen, not just for the runs, but for how he has evolved and dominated across different eras, McClenaghan told JioStar. Kohlis unbeaten contribution in the chase ensured RCB wrapped up the contest swiftly, continuing his pivotal role at the top of the order in the ongoing season. McClenaghan also reserved special praise for Bhuvneshwar Kumar, noting that the experienced seamers strength lies not in constant reinvention but in mastering his core skills. Instead of reinventing, he has been doing the same stuff consistently, over and over again, and he is just getting better at it. The time off from international cricket is now helping him structure his time better throughout the year. He's getting enough time to work on fitness and stay fresh. He has enough experience and knows how to deal with pressure situations. It is just about being able to do what you have been doing. That means hitting those areas with the ball which trouble batters the most, and having control over swing, which we are seeing right now. That is why his impact has always been great with the new ball, he said. Bhuvneshwar's incisive spell, alongside Hazlewoods relentless accuracy and bounce, left Delhi reeling in the powerplay, as the duo combined to take six wickets inside the first four overs, effectively deciding the outcome of the match. On Hazlewood, McClenaghan pointed out how the Australian quicks physical attributes and control make him one of the most difficult bowlers to counter in T20 cricket. Josh Hazlewood is the kind of bowler every team wants and RCB are blessed to have him. He beats batters with his variations, and his height gives him a lot of advantage. Being tall, he always gets extra bounce, and the Bangalore pitch helps him ask tough questions. His control is never in doubt. He doesnt bowl loose balls. If you hit him for runs, it has to be a really good shot. You have to go after a decent length ball, not a half-volley. He operates in the perfect area.

'Not The Right Time To Panic...: Chawla Encourages DC To 'stay Together' After Heavy Loss To RCB
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Veteran leg-spinner Piyush Chawla has urged Delhi Capitals to stay composed and avoid panic despite their crushing defeat to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where they were bowled out for just 75 at their home ground, the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The heavy loss on Monday came as a major setback for Delhi, especially after they had recently registered their highest total of the season. What followed, however, was a dramatic collapse that resulted in one of their lowest scores in IPL history, highlighting their inconsistency after a promising start to the campaign. There will be some panic around for sure, knowing the history of Delhi Capitals. But that's not the right time (for it) now. They need to sit together, discuss about it, and they have to start fresh - because they started off pretty well in the tournament, and it's not like in three weeks, the team has changed or the way of playing has changed, Chawla told ESPNCricinfo. Delhi began their IPL 2026 journey with back-to-back wins but have since struggled to maintain momentum, managing just one victory in their last six outings. Fielding lapses have compounded their problems, with crucial dropped chances proving costly. In a recent high-scoring clash, Karun Nair put down Shreyas Iyer twice, as Punjab Kings went on to complete a record-breaking chase, the highest successful run pursuit in mens T20 cricket. Later, in the business end of the tournament, when they look back at it, those two points will definitely come to haunt them if they are not qualifying (for the playoffs). So right now is the time (when) they just have to forget everything and move on, start playing some positive cricket, and just make sure there's a very positive environment in the dressing room because that plays a huge role. When things are not going your way, it's very, very easy for any team to just scatter and just talk behind the back that this guy would have done this, this guy would have done that, he would have taken that single, this guy would have taken that catch,Chawla stated. Drawing parallels with the previous season, Chawla pointed out how inconsistency had similarly cost Delhi a playoff spot. Despite a strong phase where they strung together multiple wins, they faded in the latter half and ultimately finished fifth, narrowly missing qualification for the knockouts, a stage they last reached in 2021. The most difficult thing (for DC) is to just come together, sit together, and talk about it, and just say, 'Okay, now that is gone'. These things are not in our control, and still we are in it. We are not out of the tournament, and we are the same team who has done well in the past, we have won four-five games on the trot last year as well and still we didn't qualify. But this year we have to change the history, and just go out there, express yourself, and play with positive intent. Drawing parallels with the previous season, Chawla pointed out how inconsistency had similarly cost Delhi a playoff spot. Despite a strong phase where they strung together multiple wins, they faded in the latter half and ultimately finished fifth, narrowly missing qualification for the knockouts, a stage they last reached in 2021.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

IPL 2026: Credit Goes To Bowlers For Power-play Burst, Says RCB Skipper Patidar
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru: The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Rajat Patidar credited his bowlers, especially pacers Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, for setting up the teams emphatic nine-wicket win over Delhi Capitals with devastating spells in the Powerplay in the clash in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 in New Delhi. Hazlewoods 4-12 and Bhuvneshwars 3-5 ensured RCB bowled out DC for 75, which they chased down with 81 balls to spare. Absolutely, but I think even I am surprised the way wicket played, and all credit goes to bowlers, the way they have bowled, especially in the powerplay, Hazlewood and Bhuvi. I think the way they have hit those areas and got that a bit of swing earlier, I think that was tremendous to see, Patidar said at the conclusion of the game. Asked if there was more swing than usual, Patidar replied, I think the swing was normal, and the good thing was we got the early wicket, and that's why it kept us in the driving seat. Of course, I think if you are playing T20 cricket on the flat surface, so I think if you have, you should have a good bowling unit. That's why, because only a bowler can make you win the championship. On the bowling plans, the RCB skipper explained, No, no. We had planned earlier that if we got early wickets, then we would go three-three overs of each. And let's see how the wicket is behaving and the way afterwards the Suyash and Sheppy (Romario Shepherd) bowled, I think the areas. And Suyash also bowled, I think he got a lot of spin, I would say, but I think the way he bowled stump to stump, I think that was really good to see. Patidar emphasised the need to maintain discipline and routines as the tournament heads into its crucial phase, with RCB set to next face Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad. It's very important to follow your routines because you know it's still a long way to go, but I think we are just taking one game at a time. And the positive is, as I mentioned last game also, that different players coming up and doing it for the team, I think that's a good sign for us. On the bowling plans, the RCB skipper explained, No, no. We had planned earlier that if we got early wickets, then we would go three-three overs of each.

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.

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.

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.
