IPL 2025, RCB vs DC: Royal Challengers Bangalore banked on the winning momentum to beat Delhi Capitals by 6 wickets on Sunday. RCB's batting mainstay Virat Kohli smashed his sixth half-century of the season as he helped the side maintain their perfect record away from home in this ongoing season. Former Cricketer and Commentator at present, Sanjay Manjrekar took to social media to heap praise on RCB's tremendous bowling.
Manjrekar, from his official 'X' account to express his opinion and pointed out the 4 of RCB's 7 wins have come in chases as their bowlers have done a fabulous job making the real difference. Some fans pointed that Manjrekar was deliberate in his attempt to ignore Kohli and Krunal Pandya's effort as they took the side home.
"4 of RCB’s 7 wins have come in chases. Targets 174, 175, 157, and 162. It’s their bowlers that have made the real difference this season!" Manjrekar said after the match.
Chasing 163, RCB were reduced to 26 for 3 before Kohli (51) and Krunal Pandya (73 not out) shared a 119-run stand off 84 to overhaul the target in 18.3 overs and extend their unbeaten run away from home.
"It was a top win, especially looking at the surface. We saw a few games here and this wicket played out differently compared to those. Whenever there's a chase on, I keep checking with the dugout, whether we're on course," Kohli, who donned the orange cap, said after the win.

"I try and make sure my singles and doubles don't stop so that the game doesn't get stagnant. People are forgetting the importance of partnerships and that's coming to the fore in this tournament to try and dominate the bowlers through partnerships and professionalism."
It was Krunal's first fifty since 2016.
"Krunal was outstanding, he can make an impact and it was just about time. We've communicated beautifully, Krunal kept telling me to stay while he took his chances," said Kohli.
