Delhi Capitals (DC) went down by six wickets against visiting Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in their ninth match of IPL 2025 here on Sunday. A solid 51 off 47 balls by Virat Kohli, followed by a match-winning 73 off 47 balls by all-rounder Krunal Pandya, ensured the visitors moved to the top of the points table. With this win, RCB have 14 points from 10 matches, with seven wins. DC, who were second in the points table before the Sunday night match, are now fourth with six wins and 12 points in their kitty.

The star of the match, Pandya, smashed 48 off his last 19 balls, including consecutive sixes off Mukesh Kumar. Luckily for Pandya, each miscued shot landed safely. He was promoted to No. 5 due to an early collapse. He walked in after RCB were reduced to 26-3 after four overs. “My role was pretty clear: if we lose three early wickets, I can go in and make sure that we stitch a partnership [together],” Pandya said.
