The total marked one of their <a href=\"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/lowest-powerplay-score-in-ipl\/\">lowest Power play score in IPL<\/a> history and highlighted a disastrous batting display under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The damage was done early by Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who tore through Delhi\u2019s top order with precision bowling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hazlewood finished with outstanding figures of 4 for 12, while Bhuvneshwar delivered a lethal spell of 3 for 5. Their combined effort reduced Delhi to 9 for 6 inside the first four overs, effectively ending the contest in the powerplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite a fighting 30 from Abishek Porel, Delhi never recovered from the early blows. The batting unit struggled against swing and disciplined line and length, failing to build any meaningful partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chasing a modest target of 76, Royal Challengers Bengaluru made light work of the total, reaching 77 for 1 in just 6.3 overs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Virat Kohli remained unbeaten on 23 and also achieved a major personal milestone, crossing 9,000 runs in T20 cricket. Devdutt Padikkal provided quick support with a brisk 34 not out, ensuring a comfortable finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The victory was a statement performance from RCB, who continue their strong run in IPL 2026 and strengthen their position near the top of the points table. For the Delhi Capitals, the heavy defeat raises serious concerns as they struggle to find consistency in the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With both bat and ball firing, Royal Challengers Bengaluru have once again proven why they are among the strongest contenders this season. Their clinical execution and early breakthroughs set the tone for a comprehensive win that could have a significant impact on the playoff race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2216,"template":"","tags":[688,1195,831],"ppma_author":[489],"class_list":["post-2215","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-delhi-capitals","tag-josh-hazlewood","tag-royal-challengers-bengaluru"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/2215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2216"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2215"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2215"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=2215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
