Delhi managed only 13 runs for the loss of six wickets in that opening phase, and at one stage the visitors slipped to 8\/6. The collapse was driven by a sharp spell that saw the first six dismissals shared between Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood.<\/p>\n<h2>Powerplay collapse: how Delhi Capitals fell to 13\/6<\/h2>\n<p>Delhi\u2019s batting unravelled quickly, with three wickets falling in the opening two overs. The downturn began immediately, as Bhuvneshwar Kumar struck on the second ball of the first over, removing Sahil Parakh for a duck. The pressure continued in the next over from Josh Hazlewood, where KL Rahul departed for 1 and Sameer Rizvi was dismissed for 0. Bhuvneshwar then returned in the third over to add further damage, dismissing Tristan Stubbs for 5 and Axar Patel for 0.<\/p>\n<h3>Key wicket sequence<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Bhuvneshwar Kumar dismissed Sahil Parakh for 0 on the second ball of the first over.<\/li>\n<li>Josh Hazlewood removed KL Rahul for 1 and Sameer Rizvi for 0 in the following over.<\/li>\n<li>Bhuvneshwar Kumar came back in the third over to dismiss Tristan Stubbs (5) and Axar Patel (0).<\/li>\n<li>Josh Hazlewood picked up another wicket in the fourth over, taking Nitish Rana.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After those early blows, the scoreboard read 8\/6 by 3.5 overs, and Delhi ultimately posted just 13\/6 in the Powerplay. The innings then continued to deteriorate, with Delhi Capitals finishing all out for 75 in 16.3 overs.<\/p>\n<h2>Impact and reactions after the rout<\/h2>\n<p>Virat Kohli appeared visibly delighted following the dismissals, with the moment capturing the intensity of Bengaluru\u2019s early onslaught. The chaos of the Powerplay left Delhi\u2019s batting order badly disrupted, as the collapse quickly turned into a fight for survival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Royal Challengers Bengaluru sent Delhi Capitals into early trouble during their IPL 2026 meeting on Monday, triggering what was described as a disastrous Powerplay.
