The Royal Challengers Bengaluru lost the IPL 2025 match against the Delhi Capitals (DC) by 6 wickets on Thursday, April 10, at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
After being invited to bat first in the match, Royal Challengers Bengaluru posted a below-par total of 163/7 on the board despite getting off to a blistering start, thanks to Phil Salt and Virat Kohli. Defending the total, the RCB bowlers picked early wickets but were unable to stop KL Rahul, who slammed brutal 93* runs to hand RCB a defeat.
"I think the way we saw the wicket, it was quite different, we thought it was a nice batting wicket, but we didn't bat well."
"I don't think so (if the batters were overconfident), every batter was in a good frame of mind, showing proper intent."
It wasn't acceptable to go from 80 for 1 to 90 for 4 - Rajat Patidar
"But it wasn't acceptable to go from 80 for 1 to 90 for 4, we have a good batting line-up, but we need to assess the situation. That has been positive, the way Tim David accelerated was amazing, the bowling in the powerplay was special."
"We aren't thinking about our away record, but we just need to play good cricket and keep it simple."
