IPL 2024: Rasikh, Khaleel Take Two Wickets Each As DC Restrict RCB To 187/9
Pushed into batting first, RCB's innings was mainly around the 88-run partnership off 53 balls between Rajat Patidar and Will Jacks for the third wicket. Patidar went on to make 52, also his fourth fifty in the last five games. But Delhi Capitals, who dropped four catches, came back strongly in the last five overs, giving away 49 runs while taking five wickets to keep RCB below 200, which seemed to be a strong possibility at one point.
Taking the field with Axar Patel as captain and Rishabh Pant seeing from the dugout due to a one-game suspension, DC got success early when Faf du Plessis sliced Mukesh Kumar to deep point in the third over. Virat Kohli was solid in his base and timing to hit four and three sixes in his 13-ball 27, before giving a healthy edge behind off Ishant Sharma. Patidar hit the ground running by creaming Mukesh Kumar for three boundaries, before slogging Axar over deep mid-wicket for six in the last over of power-play.
