In the ongoing clash between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore, DC’s social media admin delivered a cheeky jab after the team restricted RCB to 163 runs in 20 overs. The official DC Twitter account showcased a picture of 55 dot balls recorded at Garden City with the caption “Jhaad Lagane ka Bhidu.”
The Match Summary: RCB vs DC
Phil Salt stormed the pitch like a man possessed, determined to send every ball flying. In an electrifying display, he smashed 37 runs off just 17 balls with sheer dominance. In one standout over against Starc, Salt scored 30 runs—three fours and two sixes—leaving Starc reeling. RCB reached their second-fastest fifty in just three overs, and the crowd erupted as it seemed the momentum was firmly with them.
Then the tide turned. A mix-up with Kohli and a stumble mid-pitch led to Salt being run out, shattering the dream of a 250-run haul. Meanwhile, Kohli showed glimpses of promise by sending a six soaring into the stands off Vipraj Nigam, only to be trapped by the leg-spinner on his next shot. That misstep marked the beginning of a rapid collapse in momentum for RCB.
DC’s Bowling Brilliance
Kuldeep Yadav remained ice-cold under pressure, finishing four overs with figures of 2/17. He actively broke partnerships and pinned down the middle order with his skilful variations. Meanwhile, after being hammered early, Vipraj Nigam bounced back confidently—using clever changes in pace and looping deliveries to bag two wickets for just 18 runs, crafting a redemption arc worth applauding.
Mukesh Kumar then swung the momentum by bowling a wicket-maiden during the powerplay, putting RCB in a chokehold. He effectively slowed down the scoring, taking the team from 53 in three overs to 64 in six—a change that delivered the crucial slowdown DC needed.
Tim David’s Late Fireworks
When all seemed lost, Tim David rose to the occasion. Smashing four sixes and two boundaries, he helped RCB add a much-needed 39 runs in the final two overs. David’s 37* off 20 balls gave RCB some hope. A total of 163/7 wasn’t ideal, but at least it was something to bowl at.
