IPL 2025: Pandya’s All-round Show Takes RCB On Top Of Points Table, Beat DC By Six Wickets (ld)
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Ardent fans in New Delhi wished for a grand Virat Kohli homecoming and a win for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). To their delight, both happened on a hot Sunday evening, though Krunal Pandya’s all-round heroics stood out, as RCB beat Delhi Capitals by six wickets to go on top of IPL 2025 points table at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
On a two-paced RCB’s bowlers, led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s 3-33, Josh Hazlewood’s 2-36 and a stifling act by Krunal and Suyash Sharma combining for 1-50 in eight overs, restricted DC to a below-par 162/8, the lowest first innings total here in IPL since 2024. They were in trouble at 108/4 in 15 overs, before Tristan Stubbs’ 34 off 18 balls lifted them past 160-mark.
In reply, RCB were quickly in tatters at 26/3. But Krunal stepped up to shake off his early rustiness and smashed a brilliant 73 off 47 balls, laced with five fours and four sixes. He was well-supported by a 47-ball 51 from Kohli, who hit his sixth fifty of the season, as the duo shared a match-winning 119-run stand for the fourth wicket.
