Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Former Australian cricketer Aaron Finch feels that Delhi Capitals (DC) wicketkeeper batter KL Rahul's technique helped him conquer Josh Hazlewood's challenge in the 26th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday.

Hes probably the one player whose game really suits a bowler like Hazlewood, where hes in and around that off stump, Finch said on ESPNcricinfos TimeOut show. Another guy with good Test batting technique. So yeah, that was a crucial innings. He just found the boundary every time he needed one, he added. Rahuls knock of 57 off 30 balls included several timely boundaries, including a standout over against Hazlewood where he scored 14 runs, helping DC recover from a difficult position. His ability to rotate strike and pick gaps ensured the required rate never got out of hand. He also stitched a crucial 76-run partnership with Tristan Stubbs, which brought DC back into the contest after the early setbacks.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: India's prime spinner Kuldeep Yadav underlined the importance of picking wickets in the middle overs and reading conditions well after his side Delhi Capitals (DC) pulled off a thrilling six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). RCB looked set for a big total after racing through the powerplay, but DCs bowlers clawed their way back by adjusting their lengths and pace on a surface that gradually slowed down. Obviously we started not really well. I thought they batted well in the first five or six overs. We knew the wicket is a bit slower side, Kuldeep said in a video released by IPL on X. Especially, I was talking to Axar because the length was very important, and trying to vary the pace. Understanding whos batting and what sort of strength they have. Someone like Phil, hes a very left-side-dominated player, so we tried to keep him away. Hes just pushing it wide, he explained. The turning point came in the middle overs when DC struck in quick succession. Salts dismissal triggered a slowdown, and skipper Axar Patel further dented RCB by removing Devdutt Padikkal and Tim David, while Kuldeep himself chipped in with the key wicket of Romario Shepherd. We got the wicket of Phil and then Akshar, an important wicket of Tim David at that situation. And then obviously he brought me for Romario. Its very important to pick the wicket, Kuldeep said. From a strong 105/3, RCB slipped to 175/8, managing just 29 runs in the last five overs as DCs bowlers, including T Natarajan, Lungi Ngidi, and Mukesh Kumar, executed their plans to perfection. Kuldeep believes that taking continuous wickets is crucial, especially on a short ground like the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, where momentum can shift rapidly. Whenever I played here, the first thing that came to my mind was to pick the wicket in the middle. If I get one wicket, obviously, you are at the top of your rhythm at that time. And if you get another one, youre putting pressure on the team. So that was my plan, especially playing here. Small ground, you can turn things in your side, he added. Kuldeep believes that taking continuous wickets is crucial, especially on a short ground like the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, where momentum can shift rapidly.

Chahals dig at Kohlis like on LizLazs photos goes viral
A single-word comment from Yuzvendra ChahalAlgorithmhas added a humorous twist to the buzz around Virat Kohlis recent Instagram activity, turning it into a full-blown social media moment. The latest chatter began after Kohli briefly liked a January post by LizLaz, a German-South African influencer and avid Royal Challengers Bengaluru supporter. Opening up about the unexpected attention, LizLaz said her reaction was mixed.
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Delhi Capitals' Director of Cricket, Venugopal Rao, hailed David Millers experience and composure under pressure as the defining factor behind his side's six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday. In a tournament like this, it is about momentum. I think today, David Miller finished it for us. Experience always counts. He did his job really well, Venugopal Rao said in the post-match press conference. Chasing 176 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Delhi Capitals were under immediate pressure after slipping to 18/3 in the powerplay. However, KL Rahul (57) and Tristan Stubbs (60 not out) steadied the innings with a vital 76-run partnership, bringing the visitors back into contention. Despite the recovery, the game remained evenly-poised heading into the final over, with 15 runs required. It was then that Millers vast experience in high-pressure chases came to the fore, as he took charge against Romario Shepherd. After a couple of early deliveries, the left-hander launched two towering sixes and followed it up with a boundary to seal the win with a ball to spare, completing a remarkable turnaround for DC. Rao also acknowledged the importance of that middle-phase partnership, which laid the foundation for the successful chase. It came down to one good partnership. The total that RCB posted was competitive, but I felt the partnership between KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs was crucial, he said, underlining how the duo absorbed pressure and rebuilt the innings. Earlier in the match, DCs bowlers played a key role in keeping RCB to a manageable total of 175/8. Rao pointed out that understanding the nature of the pitch and executing plans accordingly helped the team stay ahead in the contest. In a day game, the wicket behaves differently. It gets slower because of the heat. We were prepared for that. RCB have been scoring 220230 regularly, but if you pick wickets at intervals, any team can come under pressure. That is what happened today, he explained. He also praised skipper Axar Patel for his all-round contribution, especially after working hard to regain form.

IPL 2026: Was Good To Get Over The Line, Says DCs Miller After Applying Finishing Touches
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Delhi Capitals veteran finisher David Miller expressed immense satisfaction at successfully navigating a tense run-chase and taking the team to a six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru, admitting that getting over the line was a necessary relief following the previous failure to close out a game against Gujarat Titans. Miller hit two sixes and a four in the final over off Romario Shepherd, and along with Player of the Match Tristan Stubbs, who was not out on 60, took DC over the line. The result also ensured that DC broke their two-match losing streak. It feels really good. Obviously, to get one from the other night, obviously, I was just a bit disappointed a couple of games ago, but to get myself back in that position was good to get over the line. It's always going to be there at the back of the mind (on unable to finish the job against GT) until you actually win another game. That's our take, and it has been a couple of games - we obviously had a week off, so I've worked on a few things, just trying to stay in the moment as well and do what I can, said Miller at the conclusion of the game. Despite a slow start to his innings and coming out to bat after Axar Patel retired hurt due to cramps, Miller remained unperturbed by the mounting pressure. My first six balls, I thought, were really unbelievable. While there were six yorkers to me and I couldn't get going, I was really chuffed that it came off in the last six balls. We did try to finish it in the second-to-last over, but when you need those 43-odd runs in the last four overs, we always knew there was one or two sixes. When you hit six and then a back-to-back four or six, then the bowler's always under pressure from there. So it's just trying to limit the dot balls. And then when the boundary ball comes, you kind of capitalise. So it was trying to stay calm, obviously keep communicating with the partner and, yeah, I'll take it as deep as I can, as we can, he explained. He also credited young Stubbs for a timely mental reset during a mid-innings break in play. When I walked to the wicket, Stubbo said to me, ' You just keep your intensity really high. So for me, that obviously helped a lot, and just a reminder, which clicked me into a good frame of mind. It came after a little while. It's always good finishing off games with Stubbs. We batted a lot together, and he just said, 'Thanks so much, you saved me there.' But I thought he batted unbelievably well. Obviously anchored the innings all the way through, he added. Stubbs, who anchored the innings following the early collapse before exploding late, noted that the duo was prepared to take the game into the final over if necessary. No, it wasn't like spinning or anything, but it was just a little bit slow. Pretty much what I play on back home. But thankfully, we got through. I kept thinking three sixes, and we're straight back in it. They bowled their guns out quite early. So then I always thought, worst case, the last over, we can get whatever we need. But I didn't want to take it to the last over. But thankfully, we got over the line, he remarked. Stubbs, who anchored the innings following the early collapse before exploding late, noted that the duo was prepared to take the game into the final over if necessary.

IPL 2026: There Was Faith In Stubbs And Miller, Says KL Rahul After DCs Six-wicket Win
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Delhi Capitals acting skipper KL Rahul hailed the finishing prowess of Tristan Stubbs and David Miller, stating the dugout remained calm despite a tense final-over finish, giving them a six-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday. Chasing 176 on a surface that grew increasingly sluggish, DC reached the target with a ball to spare, exorcising the ghosts of that one-run loss suffered at the hands of the Gujarat Titans. While birthday boy Rahul (57) and Stubbs (60 not out) laid the foundation, it was Miller, who provided the finishing flourish by smashing Romario Shepherd two sixes and a four in the 20th over when 15 runs were required. No, there was faith in Stubbs and Miller. They do this on a daily basis for South Africa and franchise cricket. So, we also knew that the last two overs were going to be a gamble for RCB as well. We knew that probably Romario Shepherd would bowl or maybe Suyash Sharma would bowl, which gives our batters a good chance to hit two sixes in the last two overs. So yeah, ideally we wouldn't have wanted it to go till the 20th over, but we'll take the win, said Rahul, coming in for Axar Patel, who retired hurt due to cramps, in the post-match presentation ceremony. Earlier in the chase, DC faced a crisis after losing three wickets within the Power-play. Rahul explained that his strategy was to remain aggressive rather than retreating into a defensive shell, which could have allowed the required run rate to spiral beyond their reach. The wicket did a little bit early on. I could see Virat and Phil Salt not happy with the way the ball was coming on. Us losing three wickets in the first six overs didn't make it easy for us. So yeah, it was, I think all in all a really good cricket game. The conversation was to continue to play good cricket shots and see how we can find boundaries and how we can still put the pressure on the bowlers. We didn't want to go into our shell, and then the run rate keeps climbing up; it gets harder and harder towards the end. The wicket did a little bit early on.

IPL 2026: We Were 15-20 Runs Short, Will Introspect On Errors, Says RCB Captain Patidar
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Rajat Patidar on Saturday lamented his sides tense six-wicket defeat to Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026, admitting that the side finished 15-20 runs short despite a spirited effort to stretch the contest to the final over. RCBs aggressive intent only yielded 175/8 on a slow pitch as their middle order struggled against DCs fantastic death overs bowling masterclass. Despite a blistering 63 off 38 balls from opener Phil Salt, laced with four boundaries and three sixes, RCB's innings stalled significantly in the second half as DC conceded only 29 runs in the last five overs. That was really close, but I feel that we were 15-20 runs short. The way we started, especially VK bhai and Salt, they gave a good start. But from there, after 12-13 overs, we lost wickets in a couple of overs, and that put us on the back foot, Patidar said in the post-match presentation ceremony. The result also meant RCB suffered their first defeat in Bengaluru after five consecutive home wins. Its also RCBs third loss in 11 day games since 2022, with the side now losing nine of 15 matches played in the green jersey. Asked if the batters were perhaps too aggressive on a surface that wasn't a flat deck, Patidar said, I think the pitch was a bit tacky, but I think the way we stretched the game to the last over was a positive sign for us. I was just discussing with the bowler to be clear in what you do. The result also meant RCB suffered their first defeat in Bengaluru after five consecutive home wins.

IPL 2026: Rahul, Stubbs, Miller Power DC To Tense Six-wicket Win Over RCB
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: David Miller clobbered two massive sixes in a final-over heist as Delhi Capitals broke their two-game losing streak in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 with a tense six-wicket victory over defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday. Previously, RCBs aggressive intent only yielded 175/8 as their middle-order struggled against DCs fantastic death overs bowling masterclass. Chasing 176 on a surface that grew increasingly sluggish, DC reached the target with a ball to spare, exorcising the ghosts of that one-run loss suffered at the hands of the Gujarat Titans. While birthday boy KL Rahul (57) and Tristan Stubbs (60 no out) laid the foundation, it was Miller who provided the finishing flourish by smashing Romario Shepherd two sixes and a four in the 20th over when 15 runs were required. The result also ends RCBs two-game winning run, with this also being their first loss at home in the season. The chase began disastrously for DC as Bhuvneshwar Kumar produced a powerplay masterclass. He trapped Pathum Nissanka plumb lbw in the first over before returning to remove Karun Nair and Sameer Rizvi with outswingers. Reduced to 18/3, DC looked down and out before local hero Rahul took charge. Rahul, who boasts a staggering average of 69.9 against RCB, carted Josh Hazlewood for 14 runs in the fifth over with a flick of the wrists to clip over mid-wicket for six and ramping over the keeper for four being standout shots. Alongside a composed Stubbs, Rahul rebuilt the innings with a 76-run stand and reached his half-century off 30 balls. But he fell shortly after by holing out to long-off against Krunal Pandya, leaving DC in the face of potential trouble. Stubbs took charge after Rahuls fall by hitting Rasikh Salam Dar and Suyash Sharma for two fours each down the ground. Captain Axar Patel played a vital cameo of 26 to keep the asking rate in check, but was forced to retire hurt due to severe cramps. His departure triggered a sensational squeeze from the RCB bowlers, as Krunal, Bhuvneshwar, and Hazlewood combined to concede just 13 runs across overs 15, 16, and 17, leaving DC needing 37 off the final 18 balls. Stubbs kept DC alive by reaching his fifty off 41 balls, but the equation narrowed to 15 runs needed off the final over, via him carting Bhuvneshwar and Rasikh for boundaries each. Patidar handed the ball to Romario Shepherd for his first over of the match. After a single and a leg-bye, Miller launched a low full-toss into the mid-wicket stand for six. He followed it with a magnificent lofted drive over extra-cover for another maximum, before finishing the game with a flick to the deep mid-wicket fence, fetching him the winning four and taking DC to victory under extreme pressure.

IPL 2026: Delhi Capitals Keep Royal Challengers Bengaluru To 175/8 Despite Salts Explosive 63
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: A disciplined death-overs bowling masterclass by Delhi Capitals ensured Royal Challengers Bengaluru were restricted to a competitive but seemingly under-par 175/8 in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 encounter at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday. Despite a blistering 63 off 38 balls from opener Phil Salt, laced with four boundaries and three sixes, RCB's innings stalled significantly in the second half as DC's bowlers conceded only eight runs in the final two overs while picking up two wickets. In all, DC conceded only 29 runs in the last five overs, while picking four wickets, with Lungi Ngidi, T. Natarajan, and Mukesh Kumar bowling sensational spells on a slow pitch. Pushed into batting first, RCB had a brisk start. Salt looked dangerous from the get-go by carving Auqib Nabi Dar for a boundary in the very first over. Virat Kohli (19) joined the act with a signature aerial drive over mid-off against Mukesh Kumar, but his stay was cut short by Ngidi, as he mistimed a scrambled seam delivery to deep cover. Salt continued his onslaught to reach his second fifty of the season with a massive six over long-off against Kuldeep Yadav in the ninth over. But the introduction of spin turned the tide in DCs favour. Axar Patel had Devdutt Padikkal holing out to long-on, while Kuldeep Yadav delivered a body blow in the 11th over when he had Salt flat-batting to long-off, and Mukesh doubled it by having in-form Rajat Patidar edge behind to KL Rahul. Tim David provided a brief spark in RCBs innings by smashing 26 off 17 balls, including a flat-batted six off Ngidi that brought up his 1000th IPL run. But Axar struck again by dismissing David, whose leading edge was caught by the short third man, while Romario Shepherd was trapped lbw by Kuldeep as RCB went from 110/3 to 149/6. The final two overs saw DCs pacers assert total dominance. Natarajan was exceptional in the 19th over, firing in pinpoint yorkers and slower bouncers to concede just two runs. The 20th over summed up RCBs frustrations - Krunal Pandya was run out after a miscommunication on a wide delivery, while Jitesh Sharma holed out to long-off against an accurate slower cutter from Ngidi. DC may be primed to complete the chase, but with the pitch not easy to bat on, and RCB having a strong bowling lineup, they have their task cut out.

Both Delhi Capitals: Both Delhi Capitals and defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru are unchanged as visitors skipper Axar Patel won the toss and elected to bowl first in match 26 of IPL 2026 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday. RCB have started their title defence with four wins in five matches, while DC arrive after a weeks break with an aim to end their two-game losing streak. The wicket looks nice and hard. Since its a day game, it might be a bit slow. Also, Chinnaswamy is usually a chasing ground, so we would like to chase. Thats why we decided to bowl first, said Axar after winning the toss. On having a long break in the competition, Axar said, If youre winning, the break would be bad. But since we lost the last two matches, the break helped us regroup. Now we are back together as a unit and ready to start with fresh momentum. Obviously we are looking at the opposition but we are focusing on our own strengths and sticking to our plans. We'll follow our plans and see what happens. RCB captain Rajat Patidar gifted a sampling to his counterpart Axar before the toss began, as part of the franchise donning the iconic green jerseys for their annual Green Initiative. Happy to bat first because we were planning to bat first on this track. It's a day game, looking like a good surface. So we'll put a good total on the board and put them under pressure. We wear this jersey to show our commitment to sustainability and encourage everyone to make green choices for the planet. Of course, there was a lot of planning behind it (on playing well at Chinnaswamy). As you know, this year we have a final at Chinnaswamy, so we have to win all the home matches, he said.

Shreyas Iyer Says His Mission As PBKS Skipper Is To go Full Throttle And Lift The Trophy
Indian Premier League: Shreyas Iyer has led Punjab Kings (PBKS) brilliantly since joining the franchise ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season and taking over the captaincy. With IPL 2026 underway now and Iyers team on top of the rankings, the Mumbai-born made it clear that the ultimate objective remains unchanged, while emphasising a process-driven approach. The mission, obviously, is to lift the trophy. But I always feel that the more you stay in the present, the more you stay in control of what is in your hands at that moment and you just have to go full throttle. You dont have to think too far ahead or dwell on the past. I reiterate the same point to my teammates as well, that when we are out there, we are playing for ourselves, not against the opponents. We just want to improve each day and make sure we put our best foot forward. When everything comes together and that synergy builds, everything falls into place, Iyer told JioStar. Having led Punjab to the brink of glory in the Indian Premier League 2025, where they fell just six runs short against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Iyer has quickly become a fan favourite, fondly dubbed Sarpanch Saab for his leadership style. I love it. I was clueless at the start of my journey with Punjab Kings about how the Sarpanch tag came up and what it meant. But later, when I asked a couple of my teammates, they explained that Sarpanch means the head of a family, a group, or even a district. That gave me clarity, and from there onwards, my journey started, Iyer said, reflecting on the nickname that underscores his role within the squad. Iyers impact was immediate last season, headlined by a blistering unbeaten 97 on debut for Punjab, where he prioritised the teams total over personal milestones. Honestly, at that moment, I told Shashank not to overthink because there were 10 balls left. I thought I would get at least one ball out of those 10. So, I told him, You can play freely, dont think too much. In the last over as well, I gave him that belief, that its okay to take it on and not worry about my hundred. In the back of my mind, I felt I would get at least one ball somehow. But then he played the entire over, and I was happy that we got 240 on the board. To get that score in the first match of the season sets the rhythm, he stated. The skipper also highlighted his collaborative leadership style, citing an instance in which teammates' input proved decisive in a crunch situation. When you are on the ground, every individual is involved in the game, and everyones inputs matter in that situation. When bowlers come and say they can execute a certain plan, its important to back them because their instincts can be strong as well. At the same time, there are situations when they run out of ideas and ask what they should do, and thats when I step in and provide input. It goes hand in hand, its not like I always dictate terms. Even in team meetings, players come up with solid points, and you have to value what they bring. We had discussed bowling wide yorkers to Rutherford because wherever else we pitched, he was going bonkers. The plan worked, and Vyshak ended up being the hero in that game, he said. Iyer also reflected on Punjabs dramatic turnaround in a low-scoring clash against Kolkata Knight Riders last season, where his side defended a modest total of 111 through relentless pressure and attacking intent. It goes hand in hand, its not like I always dictate terms. Even in team meetings, players come up with solid points, and you have to value what they bring. We had discussed bowling wide yorkers to Rutherford because wherever else we pitched, he was going bonkers. The plan worked, and Vyshak ended up being the hero in that game, he said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I made the field more attacking when a new batter came in, and they tried to play improvisational shots, like Ramandeep playing the sweep earlier. Credit goes to the bowlers as well, they were very consistent with their lines and lengths and had an attacking mindset. I keep telling them in every game that its not over until the last ball is bowled or the last run is scored. You never give up, you fight till the end. Weve seen so many matches where consistent wickets create pressure on the opposition, he added. Article Source: IANS
