RCB Crush DC for 75: Historic Bowling Collapse Stuns IPL 2026
A night of total domination in Delhi has sent shockwaves through the IPL, as Royal Challengers Bengaluru produced one of the most destructive bowling performances in recent memory to dismantle Delhi Capitals for just 75 runs and seal a statement victory.
From the very first delivery, the tone was set. Bhuvneshwar Kumar struck instantly, removing the opener with a delivery that swung late and left the batter with no answer. What followed was not just pressure, but a complete breakdown. Josh Hazlewood came in next and ripped through the top order with ruthless precision, striking twice in successive deliveries and leaving Delhi reeling almost before the match had properly begun.
Inside the powerplay, the Capitals were already buried. Wickets kept falling in clusters, with barely any resistance. At one stage, they were reduced to a shocking position with almost no scoreboard momentum and no partnerships building. Bhuvneshwar finished with remarkable figures, while Hazlewood delivered a devastating spell that left the batting lineup exposed and helpless.

Only Abishek Porel offered a brief moment of resistance, holding one end with a gritty 30 off 33 balls. But the damage was already done. Delhi were eventually bowled out for 75, their lowest total of the season and a collapse that raised serious questions about their batting approach under pressure.
The chase was almost a formality. Royal Challengers Bengaluru came out with intent and freedom. Jacob Bethell lit up the innings with clean, powerful hitting, launching sixes that immediately shifted momentum. Devdutt Padikkal then accelerated brutally, smashing 34 off just 13 balls to shut the game down early. Virat Kohli added calm authority at the other end, finishing unbeaten on 23 while also crossing a major milestone of 9,000 IPL runs, reinforcing his legacy in the tournament.
RCB wrapped up a nine-wicket win with more than 13 overs remaining, a margin that underlined just how one-sided the contest became.
For Delhi Capitals, the aftermath is filled with uncertainty and frustration, with leadership visibly searching for answers after back-to-back setbacks. For RCB, however, this was more than just a win. It was a declaration of intent in the title race, powered by disciplined bowling and clinical execution.
