Royal Challengers Bengaluru registered one of the most dominant wins of the ongoing IPL (Indian Premier League) 2026. The defending champions took on Delhi Capitals in the 39th game of the tournament at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.ย

After the win, RCB skipper Rajat Patidar took centre stage and talked about his sideโs performance. He credited his formidable bowling and how it played a big role in securing the victory in Delhi.ย
“Absolutely, but I think even I am surprised the way wicket played and all credit goes to bowlers, the way they have bowled, especially in the powerplay, Hazlewood and Bhuvi. I think the way they have, you know, hit those areas and got that a bit of swing earlier, I think that was tremendous to see,โ Patidar said in the post-match presentation ceremony.ย

Furthermore, the captain weighed in on his decision to let Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood bowl most of their overs in the powerplay itself.ย
โNo, no. I think I was… we have planned earlier that if we got early wickets then we’ll go three-three overs of each. And let’s see after how the wicket is behaving and the way afterwards the Suyash and Sheppy bowled I think the areas, and Suyash also bowled, I think he got a lot of spin, I would say, but I think the way he bowled stump to stump, I think that was really good to see,โ he added.
