Delhi Capitals pulled off a stunning 6-wicket upset at Chinnaswamy, chasing RCB’s 175/8 with a ball to spare, sparked by David Miller’s last-over fireworks and KL Rahul’s cool 57.
Rahul Reads RCB Mood
Stand-in captain KL Rahul revealed spotting Virat Kohli and Phil Salt’s frustration early: “I could see they weren’t happy—the pitch gripped, ball didn’t come on nicely for batting first.” DC capitalized on the tricky track, losing 3 early but staying aggressive to kill RCB’s home fortress.
Key Match Moments
RCB’s Salt smashed 63 but Axar-Kuldeep spun a web; DC slumped to 18/3 before Rahul anchored and Stubbs (60*)-Miller (22* off 6) unleashed death-over mayhem—two sixes off Shepherd sealed it.
Tactical Edge
Rahul’s mantra: “Positive intent, pressure bowlers—full backing for finishers.” Ends RCB’s streak, boosts DC playoff hopes in IPL 2026’s white-hot race.
