RCB vs DC IPL 2024 match Highlights: RCB lost their openers quickly and it looked like Delhi Capitals under Axar Patel’s captaincy will script a new chapter. Enter Rajat Patidar. First, he hammered Mukesh Kumar and then other DC bowlers. His 32-ball half-century has put RCB in the driver’s seat. Together with Will Jacks, Patidar anchored the RCB’s innings with that crucial 3rd wicket stand. With both these batters joining Faf and Kohli in the dugout, RCB would need some big shots in the death to put a dominating score on the board.
Despite fall of wickets, Delhi Capitals remain the most expensive side (eco. 13.43) at the death. Though RCB were not able to reach 200, the target of 187/9 is still a decent total. Kuldeep Yadav (1-52) was the most expensive bowler for DC. Dinesh Karthik’s dismissal at 0 may have helped DC. Else, RCB could have easily scored 200+ on the board.

Here are key moments of RCB vs DC match 62
Royal Challengers Bengaluru secure a 47-run victory over Delhi Capitals at Chinnaswamy Stadium, keeping Faf Du Plesis and his team in contention for the playoffs.
It was sheer courage under fire as stand-in skip Axar Patel battled on and produced a gutsy half-century. However, RCB bowlers are dominating their home ground and magnificent bowling attack by Yash Dayal got him in the 16th over
This is an absolute disaster! A total collapse. Losing 4 wickets in the powerplay, Delhi have lost two more wickets. At this point, it’s not about run rate but to arrest the fall of wickets. Shai Hope and Tristan Stubbs fall cheaply.
The start of Delhi Capitals’ chase against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in pursuit of 188 runs was nothing short of disastrous. Within the powerplay, they lost their top-order batsmen one after the other. Consider this – David Warner (1), Jake Fraser-McGurk (21), Abhishek Porel (2), and Kumar Kushagra (2) were all dismissed. Swapnil Singh, Yash Dayal, and Md Siraj claimed one wicket each during this phase.
Despite losing wickets, Delhi Capitals maintain their status as the most costly side during the death overs, with an economy rate of 13.43. While RCB fell short of the 200-run mark, their total of 187/9 remains respectable. Kuldeep Yadav, conceding 52 runs for one wicket, emerged as the most expensive bowler for DC. The dismissal of Dinesh Karthik for a duck may have worked in favor of DC, as otherwise, RCB could have potentially surpassed the 200-run mark.
RCB amassed a total of 86 runs during the middle overs today, losing only two wickets in the process.
Moment of the match! Ishant has the final say as he manages to dismiss Kohli with a nick, playfully nudging him with his body as Kohli retreats with a subtle, sheepish grin. This Delhi bromance!

After RCB lost their openers swiftly, it seemed like Delhi Capitals, under Axar Patel‘s leadership, were set to create a new narrative. However, Rajat Patidar stepped up to the plate. Initially, he took on Mukesh Kumar and then continued to dominate other DC bowlers. His half-century off just 32 balls has firmly placed RCB in control. Partnering with Will Jacks, Patidar played a pivotal role in anchoring RCB’s innings with their crucial third-wicket partnership. With both Patidar and Jacks now at the crease, alongside Faf and Kohli in the dugout, RCB will need some aggressive strokes in the final overs to set a commanding total.
