In one of the first innings, Delhi Capitals were down by 6 wickets, with only 9 runs on the scoreboard. From there, they could manage only 75 runs against all of their ten batters. Despite the crushing victory in the away match, former India cricketer Kris Srikkanth points out one particular bowler, who appears to be the weak link of the team to him.
Ahead of the ongoing IPL 2026 campaign, RCB retained most of their overseas talents including Romario Shepherd. But, he has been struggling since the start of the 2026 season. Against the Delhi Capitals, when the pacer duo of Hazlewood and Kumar, and the spinner Suyash Sharma bowled brilliantly, Shephard proved costly. In his 2 overs spell, the medium pacer leaked 21 runs in his 2 overs spell without taking a single wicket. Overall, he has struggled with the ball in the ongoing IPL season, averaging 58 at an economy of 14.50.

"He was moving it incredibly both ways. Even someone like Stubbs was clueless against him. Bhuvneshwar Kumar didn't bowl well in that one match in the 2022 T20 World Cup semifinal. He has bowled well every match since then," the 1983 World Cup winner said.
