Chase-master Virat Kohli shines in run-chase vs DC

Royal Challengers Bengaluru got a target of 163 runs to chase on a tricky surface in Delhi. RCB were off to a horrible start in the innings as they lost Jacob Bethell, Devdutt Padikkal, and Rajat Patidar inside 4 overs and were left reeling at 26/3.

Then, Virat Kohli joined forces with Krunal Pandya and stabilized the innings. The duo displayed a batting masterclass and pushed the Delhi Capitals completely out of the game.

Krunal and Kohli were cautious initially, but they made sure to punish the bad balls. As the innings progressed, they started playing an attacking brand of cricket and smashed the bowlers all over the park.

Virat Kohli and Krunal Pandya stitched up a 119-run stand that all but sealed the win for RCB. Kohli was dismissed for 51 in the 18th over, but Krunal Pandya (73*) stayed in the middle till the end and steered RCB to a 6-wicket win.

Kohli, who was sitting in the dugout, celebrated aggressively after the win, but he brought out the real celebration in front of KL Rahul to take revenge. After the match, KL Rahul was seen having a chat with Karun Nair and Devdutt Padikkal.

That was when Kohli went towards KL Rahul and mimicked his 'This is my ground' celebration in Delhi before the duo shared a laugh.

Notably, after helping DC win against RCB in their previous IPL clash in Bengaluru, KL Rahul pounded his chest and drove his bat into the ground like a sword, declaring, "This is my ground," which was an epic celebration.

Everything feels really good - Josh Hazlewood

Speaking during the mid-innings break, RCB pacer Josh Hazlewood, who is the leading wicket-taker in IPL 2025, said that he is getting better with every passing game. He stated:

"Everything feels really good. I feel like I am getting better every game. I came here after a layoff leading into this league, and I am feeling better and better with my run-up every game. So, it feels good."

Josh Hazlewood further lauded the RCB coaching staff and said that they just want to follow the process and execute their plans to perfection. He asserted:

"The pitch is a tough one to read. Batting against a new ball could be the easiest of all. Stubbs played well in the end. If you miss a yorker, you could get hit. The RCB staff is a good bunch of guys. We have been winning away from home and broke the duck (of losing at home) in the last game."

"It's just about the process, delivering and executing. Sometimes you execute and don't get the wickets. I think the guys did well today, especially Bhuvi (Bhuvneshwar Kumar). He has done tough work. The credit should go to him."
