RCB vs DC, IPL 2025 HIGHLIGHTS: Krunal Pandya, Virat Kohli Excel As RCB Clinch IPL Top Spot With Big Win Against DC

Tim David seals the deal with a boundary. RCB stay unbeaten on the road with sixth straight win away from Bengaluru. They top the points table momentarily ahead of Gujarat's game against Rajasthan tomorrow. Krunal Pandya steals the show with an unbeaten 73. 

Not the ideal ending for Kohli! Tries to take the aerial route for once but Starc just stays inside the rops and gobbles it up nivcely. 

Virat Kohli c Starc b Chameera 51 (47)

RCB: 145/4 (17.5)

Dropped! Starc thought he had Krunal there but Porel drops it while charging down from deep mid-wicket. Starc wants to take the bails off once the ball is returned to him, but he loses the ball and it goes away and there an over throw. 

RCB: 125/3 (16)

Krunal is timing the ball like a dream. Smokes this over pitch delivery over covers. He is into the 40s and has gpone ahead of Kohli, who ia still finding it out to pick out gaps. 

RCB: 102/3 (13.3)

Kuldeep misses the length and Kohli pounces on it. Rocks back and smashes it square on the leg side. There is no one out there to cut that. Much needed boundary for RCB. 

RCB: 63/3 (9.5)

Confident LBW appeal for KL!Kuldeep wants the review straighaway. Axar takes it. Replay shows the impact was outside the off-stump. DRS wasted by the home side. 

RCB: 48/3 (7.4)

Strong end to the powerplay for DC. RCB are 35/3 with Kohli batting with Krunal Pandya. Interesting choice from RCB to promote Krunal and not send someone like a Jitesh. 

This was an expensive over from Mitchell Starc. He was hit for 15 runs in it as Virat Kohli slammed a stylish four on the off-side after creating a room for himself and Bethell too joined the party with a six and a four. 

RCB 19/0 (2)

Delhi Capitals have posted a challenging total of 162/8 in their 20 overs against RCB in the IPL 2025 match 46 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

KL Rahul has kept things going for DC despite a tough start. The hosts have gone past the 100-run mark but the recent wicket of skipper Axar has given them a recent big setback. Just four runs came off the 15th over.

DC LIVE Score: 108/4 (15) 

Wicket! The comeback wasn't a pleasing one for Faf du Plessis as he never looked in control. Krunal Pandya continues to do well as he gets his first wicket of the match with Faf departing for 22. DC are three down now.

DC LIVE Score: 73/3 (10)

Wicket! DC lose first wicket as he departs for 28 and it's Hazlewood who provides the early breakthrough. 

DC LIVE Score: 37/1 (4)

Brilliant from Porel as he has given DC a fiery start. Big over for DC as 17 runs came off it. 

DC LIVE Score: 32/0 (3)

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (Playing XI): Virat Kohli, Jacob Bethell, Rajat Patidar(c), Jitesh Sharma(w), Tim David, Krunal Pandya, Romario Shepherd, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Suyash Sharma, Josh Hazlewood, Yash Dayal

Royal Challengers Bengaluru won the toss and elected to bowl first against Delhi Capitals on Sunday.

While DC captain Axar Patel has led from the front, he has not bowled a lot in the competition due to a niggle but has completed his full quota of overs in the last game, marking another positive for a team on the charge.

His presence will pose the biggest challenge to the in-form RCB batters on Sunday night. Delhi boy Suyash Sharma has also given a good account of himself in RCB jersey and will be using all his local knowledge to out-think the DC batters.

Kuldeep has foxed the batters in the middle overs throughout the IPL with his googly causing maximum damage to the opposition. Besides 12 wickets in eight games, the left-arm wrist spinner has conceded runs at a frugal rate of 6.50 runs per over.

His compatriot Starc is not far behind on the impact table and coincidentally it was also against Royals that he came up with a barrage of wide yorkers to seal the game for DC. Their duel will be exciting to say the least.

The two champion Australian fast bowlers, Hazlewood and Starc, have already showed the immense value they bring to their respective IPL teams. Hazlewood is among the leading wicket takers in the tournament with 16 scalps and effectively won the game for RCB in their previous outing against Rajasthan Royals with an exemplary 19th over.

Slower surfaces this season has made stroke-making tougher but RCB's leading run-getter Kohli has thrived on that challenge to flourish for his team. Another batter who has done remarkably well under the circumstances is Rahul, who has scored the most runs for Delhi Capitals.

Hello and welcome to the live cricket coverage of match no. 46 of the Indian Premier League 2025 in which Delhi Capitals will face Royal Challengers Bengaluru here at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
