DC vs RCB: The last 48 hours have been no less than a nightmare for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026. First the team could not defend 264 runs against Punjab Kings and now it collapsed for just 75 runs against Royal Challengers Bangalore. After this, Royal Challengers Bangalore achieved the modest target of 76 runs in just 6.3 overs by losing 1 wicket. In this way, Delhi Capitals had to face defeat for the third consecutive match. After this shameful defeat, even captain Akshar Patel himself could not understand what happened to the team.
Delhi Capitals’ batting was a complete flop against RCB. The team had lost 6 wickets for 9 runs within the powerplay itself. Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s brilliant swing and Josh Hazlewood’s accurate short balls completely demolished Delhi’s top order. This was also the lowest score of this season, which RCB easily achieved by 9 wickets.
the team had a bad day
After the match, Akshar Patel expressed his disappointment and said that he too did not know what happened. That is why it is said that in cricket you always have to be alert. We have to move on from this match. He further said that from today’s perspective you can say that it had an impact, but looking back, if catches had been taken or that one run had been taken against Gujarat Titans, we would have had momentum. This is a game in which there is no room for ifs and buts. You have to be positive, you had a bad day and take positive things from the last 5-6 matches.
RCB bowlers world class
However, captain Axar Patel refused to accept that there was unusual swing on the pitch. He said that he was not surprised, he is a world class bowler, he swings on every ground, but if our openers or top order had tolerated him, the result could have been different. This crushing defeat for Delhi Capitals has raised many questions, whereas the RCB bowlers performed brilliantly and won the match completely. Now Delhi Capitals have to play their next match on May 1 at the home of Rajasthan Royals.
