RCB vs DC: Delhi Capitals’ explosive performance continues in the 18th season of the Indian Premier League. In the 24th match of the tournament held on Thursday, Delhi Capitals defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 6 wickets. This was DC’s fourth consecutive win in the mega event. In this match held at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, RCB had set a target of 164 runs for Delhi to win, which it achieved by losing 4 wickets in 17.5 overs.
RCB vs DC: The hero of this victory from Delhi was KL Rahul, who continued his amazing form and scored an unbeaten 93 off 53 balls. In this match, RCB made many such mistakes, for which it had to pay the price with defeat. Let’s know about those 3 big mistakes due to which RCB lost.
3. RCB vs DC: Phil Salt’s run out at the wrong time
RCB vs DC: At the beginning of the match, DC won the toss and invited RCB to bat first. Playing first, Bangalore had a tremendous start. The pair of Phil Salt and Virat Kohli batted in a dangerous manner and crossed the 50-run mark in 18 balls. But when Salt was run out on the fifth ball of the fourth over, the whole matter turned around. RCB’s innings fell apart only after Salt was out.
2. Middle order collapse like a pack of cards
RCB vs DC: RCB’s middle order batsmen failed to take advantage of the tremendous start given by the openers. Batsmen like Rajat Patidar, Devdutt Padikkal, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma and Krunal Pandya flopped badly. Three of these batsmen could not even cross the double-digit mark. This was the reason why RCB could not put up a big total.
1. Rajat Patidar dropping KL Rahul’s catch
Catches win matches. Today, we dropped KL Rahul’s catch, and he went on to smash us scoring 93 out of 164. If only that catch had been taken, the result could’ve been so different. pic.twitter.com/832wm9u43P

It was not easy for Delhi to chase this target. At one point, RCB had completely tightened the grip on DC by taking 4 wickets at a score of 58. When KL Rahul was batting on a score of 5, captain Patidar dropped a catch of his, which later became the reason for the team’s defeat. Rahul took advantage of this lifeline and played a brilliant innings of 93* runs.
