IPL 2026: Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Sizzle As RCB Complete Nine-wicket Rout Of DC
Impact Player Jacob Bethell: Sizzling spells from Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar helped defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru storm to a nine-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals in a one-sided Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 game at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Monday.
Chasing just 76, after bundling out DC for 75 in 16.3 overs, RCB were never troubled, as Devdutt Padikkal and Virat Kohli hit 34 and 23 not out respectively to wrap the chase with 81 balls to spare and seal a win that was emphatic and swift in equal measure.
The damage had been inflicted much earlier. Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar swung the new ball all around to reduce DC to 8/6 in the first four overs. From there on, DC were always playing for survival with only Abishek Porel offering resistance via 30.
