Cricbuzz Live: RCB vs DC, IPL 2025 – Post-Match Recap

What a night it was for KL Rahul in a place he calls home. You could see how much this knock meant to him in the way he celebrated—it was heartfelt, passionate, and full of pride. On a pitch that wasn’t easy to bat on at the Chinnaswamy, Rahul showed his class and composure to guide Delhi Capitals to their fourth win on the trot. RCB, on the other hand, continue to struggle at home, now having lost both their games here this season.

KL Rahul | Player of the Match:

“It was a bit of a tricky pitch, but being behind the stumps for 20 overs gave me great insight into how it was behaving. It wasn’t really two-paced, just slow and consistent. I knew the shots I could play and the areas I could target. Wicketkeeping also helped me understand how others got out. Yeah, I got lucky with that dropped catch early on, but this is my ground—I know it better than anyone. Always a special feeling to play here.”

Axar Patel | DC Captain:

“Really proud of the way the team is playing. Four wins in four games speaks volumes about our momentum and confidence. I felt starting with spin was the right call—there was some bounce and the ball was stopping. Maybe my 19th over wasn’t the best decision tactically, but the win makes up for it. Huge credit to Kuldeep for his consistency, and Vipraj was outstanding too. And having someone like Rahul in the lineup just makes my job easier. He’s continuing that Champions Trophy form.”  Match-24|RCB VS DC|DC WON THE MATCH|2025

Tristan Stubbs:

“Felt really good to get the job done. The run rate was always under control thanks to the way Rahul batted. When I came in, we were in a bit of a tight spot, but there was no panic. We briefly talked about the DLS score, but it wasn’t really on our minds—we had time. I just wanted to settle in, especially after losing a few wickets. You’ve got to adjust to situations quickly and I’m happy with how it turned out.”  Match-24|RCB VS DC|DC WON THE MATCH|2025

Rajat Patidar | RCB Captain:

“We misread the pitch a bit. It looked like a good batting wicket at first, but we just didn’t execute well. Going from 80/1 to 90/4 really hurt us. Our batters had the right intent, so I wouldn’t say we were overconfident, but we definitely need to assess situations better. On the positive side, Tim David’s finish was incredible, and the way we bowled in the powerplay was encouraging. We’re not thinking too much about the home record yet—it’s just about playing better cricket.”

As the match ended, Rahul raised his bat, tapped his chest a couple of times, and walked off with a calm smile. He knows Chinnaswamy like the back of his hand—it’s where he’s grown as a cricketer—but tonight, he came back as the opposition and completely quieted the RCB faithful. The pitch was tough with variable bounce and inconsistent pace, but none of that seemed to matter with Rahul in this form. RCB may rue that dropped chance when DC were just 22/2, but from that point on, Rahul never looked back. Stubbs added the finishing touch, sealing a memorable chase with confidence. And with that, Delhi Capitals have now started an IPL season with four straight wins—for the first time ever. Match-24|RCB VS DC|DC WON THE MATCH|2025
