That brings an end to this contest as Delhi Capitals continue their dominant run, handing Royal Challengers Bengaluru their second home defeat of the season while extending their own unbeaten streak. The IPL caravan now moves to the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium, where Chennai Super Kings will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in Match 25 on April 11, Friday. The action kicks off at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but be sure to join us early for all the pre-match buildup. Until then, take care and see you soon for another thrilling encounter.
KL Rahul is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his unbeaten and match-winning knock of 93 runs off 53 balls. He says it was a slightly tricky wicket, but having seen it play from behind the stumps for 20 overs, it gave him a good idea of how to tackle it. Adds that it wasn't two-paced as such, but was just sticking a bit. Mentions his plans and says he knew when and which pockets to target, and once he got in, just kept going and enjoyed playing at his home ground. Talks about his preparation and says how he looks to adapt to the conditions and plan accordingly, not just in games, but also in practice sessions too.
The victorious captain of Delhi Capitals, Axar Patel, says everyone in the team is brimming with confidence and is delighted to win four out of four. Highlights that he took a chance to deploy more spin as the RCB openers love to bat against pace. Reflects that when he came to bowl, the ball was gripping and holding a bit. Appreciates the wrist spinners for bowling exceptionally well. Says Kuldeep Yadav has been doing the job over the years, and also lauds Vipraj Nigam for being confident enough to bowl the 18th over. Also admits that bringing himself to bowl in the 19th over was a tactical mistake where he conceded too many runs. On KL Rahul, he says it's a luxury to have him in the side. Mentions it is not easy to bat at different positions and says he played a mature innings, partnering well with Stubbs and is continuing with his form from the Champions Trophy.
It's time for the Presentation Ceremony ...
Tristan Stubbs, from Delhi Capitals, is in for a chat next. He says it was a satisfying knock and mentions he did not have to do much with KL Rahul at the other end despite the tricky situation. Further says they lost a few early wickets and he wanted to get in and spend some time, and knew one good over would change things around. Mentions that he bats at different positions for every team he represents, but the roles are different too. Adds that he personally enjoys batting later in the game, which gives him enough time to know what the wicket is offering.
The captain of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Rajat Patidar, reflects on the challenge of winning at home. He says the wicket was quite good to bat on, but admits they didn't bat well and lost one too many wickets in the middle overs. Says every batter is in a good frame of mind. On Tim David, he says the way he accelerated in the backend was amazing. Also appreciates the new-ball bowlers for bowling nicely in the Powerplay. He concludes by saying that they are not thinking about their away records, and just want to play good positive cricket all around.
Earlier in the game, Phil Salt came out all guns blazing, tearing into the Delhi Capitals’ bowling attack with an explosive start that left the opposition shell-shocked. RCB raced to 61 runs in under four overs, setting the stage for a massive total. However, a mix-up in the middle led to Salt’s unfortunate dismissal, triggering a dramatic collapse as RCB stumbled to 102/5 in no time. Just when things looked grim, Tim David stepped up with a crucial late flourish, injecting momentum into the innings and guiding RCB to a respectable 163-run total. For Delhi Capitals, it was a collective effort with the ball, but Kuldeep Yadav and Vipraj Nigam stood out, each claiming two wickets to keep RCB in check.
For RCB, it was a tale of two halves in both innings, they started strong but couldn’t sustain the pressure when it mattered the most. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the standout performer with the ball, claiming two crucial wickets, while the rest of the attack put in a decent shift. However, with only 163 to defend, they needed something extraordinary, and it just wasn’t enough against a well-executed chase from Delhi.
Then came a masterclass in chase management. KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs stitched together a risk-free yet aggressive partnership, capitalizing on every scoring opportunity. Rahul notched up another sublime half-century, while Stubbs grew in confidence as the innings progressed. A slight drizzle after 14 overs seemed to be the catalyst for acceleration, as the duo switched gears effortlessly. With calculated aggression, they dismantled the RCB bowling attack, ensuring the job was done with utmost ease.
Defending a below-par total, RCB’s pacers came out firing, striking in quick succession to leave Delhi reeling at 39/3 by the end of the Powerplay. KL Rahul, calm and composed, held firm while wickets tumbled at the other end, mostly due to poor shot selection. Axar Patel tried to steady the innings alongside Rahul but fell at a crucial juncture, briefly swinging the momentum back in RCB’s favour.
Delhi Capitals cruise past Royal Challengers Bengaluru, handing them their second home defeat of the season while extending their own winning streak to four matches to stay as the only unbeaten team this season! A clinical and calculated chase, expertly anchored by KL Rahul, sealed the deal for DC with 6 wickets and 13 balls to spare.

Yash Dayal To KL Rahul
SIX! The Chinnaswamy is silenced as the DC juggernaut continues. Defeating CSK at Chepauk before, Delhi Capitals have now defeated RCB in their own backyard. The local lad, KL Rahul, does the job in style! This is the first ever time that Delhi Capitals have won their first four games in the history of their IPL journey. They remain unbeaten in this edition so far. Coming onto the delivery, Dayal spears in a full toss, wayward on the pads, KL Rahul picks it up and sails it behind deep fine leg for a six.

Yash Dayal To KL Rahul
FIVE WIDES! SCORES LEVEL! A freebie at a very inopportune moment from Dayal. Way too short from Dayal, over the batter's head. It keeps sailing over and beats the acrobatic wicket-keeper, Jitesh Sharma, to run behind to the fence. Royal Challengers Bengaluru have challenged the Wide call and have opted for a review. The side-on angle shows the ball passing well over KL Rahul's head. The decision of Wide stays.

Strategic Break! This 76-run partnership has propelled Delhi Capitals to the brink of victory, leaving RCB gasping for answers. With a slight drizzle in the air, conditions haven’t helped Rajat Patidar and his men after their fiery start. Despite rotating his bowlers relentlessly to break this stand, KL Rahul’s masterclass, paced to perfection alongside Stubbs' composed support, has DC in complete control at the moment. RCB now find themselves in desperate need of something special, and right away, as Delhi require only just 30 runs off 24 balls. Can they pull it around, or is it all but over? We shall very soon find out. Bhuvneshwar Kumar (3-0-14-2) comes back into the attack.
