Yash Dayal to Rahul, SIX, to fine leg

RCB vs DC: The match 24 of the season has been a gem of a game as Delhi Capitals (DC) went on to win the game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by 6 wkts. KL Rahuls’ majestic un-beaten 93* runs took the visitors home. Along with Rahul, Tristian Stubbs too played a pivotal role in the partnership to help DC win.
Now interestingly, DC remains the only IPL team in this IPL season having an un-beaten streaking of 4 wins in a row. This is for the first time in DC’s history that they are winning all four games in a trot.

“I think the way we saw the wicket, it was quite different, we thought it was a nice batting wicket, but we didn’t bat well. I don’t think so (if the batters were overconfident), every batter was in a good frame of mind, showing proper intent.
But it wasn’t acceptable to go from 80 for 1 to 90 for 4, we have a good batting line-up, but we need to assess the situation. That has been positive, the way Tim David accelerated was amazing, the bowling in the powerplay was special. We aren’t thinking about our away record, but we just need to play good cricket and keep it simple”.
The pitch was tricky with uneven bounce and a touch of uneven pace, but none of that seemed to unsettle KL Rahul once he got going. RCB will definitely rue the lost chance early in Rahul’s innings—if only Patidar had held on to that catch when DC were 22/2.
If that had come their way, the game might have turned in a different direction. But after Rahul settled down, there was no holding him back. Tristan Stubbs also displayed his class, taking a little while to find his feet before completing the chase in style.
