IPL 2025: RCB vs DC, Match 24 – Full highlights, top moments & winner details
Delhi Capitals keep their unbeaten run in the tournament after winning against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
The Delhi Capitals (DC) continue their unbeaten run in the tournament, winning four games on a trot after beating the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at home by six wickets. The Axar Patel-led side is maintaining its consistent run with incredible performances.
The RCB innings started disappointingly as the Capitals won the toss and chose to field first. The DC bowlers were on top against the RCB batters, who were not able to play big knocks like they did in the last. The only standouts for the homeside were the quickfire cameos from Phil Salt (37 off 17) and Tim David (37 off 20)*. The best bowlers for DC were Kuldeep Yadav ( 2/17 in four overs) and Vipraj Nigam ( 2/18 in four overs), who used the slow nature of the track to perfection.
Though the RCB batters, it was not a pleasant start for the Capitals as well, losing wickets at regular intervals with brilliant spells from Bhuvneshwar Kumar ( 2/26 in four overs) and Suyash Sharma ( 1/25 in four overs). However, the party at the Chinnaswamy was spoiled by a brilliant hundred-plus partnership between KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs, which ended the game in favor of DC.
The fifth wicket partnership between the two middle order batters included 111 off 55 deliveries. Rahul was the player of the match for his incredible match-winning knock of 93 off 53 deliveries, and Stubbs also played a crucial role with his 38 off 23 balls as well.
Key Moments from RCB vs DC, Match 24 of IPL 2025
1. Virat Kohli and Phil Salt mishap causes problems
The powerplay went well for RCB, especially after Salt started to attack the DC bowlers from the word go. However, Salt's innings ended after a mix-up between the two openers. This was also the moment the RCB innings started to falter as none of the batters got off to a great start after the Englishman.

Despite the RCB batters' poor performances, Tim David saved the RCB innings in the end again. The explosive batter's cameo made a lot of difference in the score, and this was another example of how dangerous he can be as a finisher with his powerful shots and ability to hit big sixes during the crucial stages of the game.
4. Jitesh Sharma's sharp catches change the game for RCB
The Capitals were in trouble at one stage and had lost three wickets in the powerplay. Two of the three wickets might have been the brilliance of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, but credit has to go to Jitesh, who kept his composure in taking the skiers to dismiss Jake Fraser McGurk and Abhishek Porel. This was one of the moments that got the home team back in the game.
