The result not only produced one of the most comfortable ball-to-spare victories in IPL history, but also rewrote multiple franchise-league and IPL records across the innings.<\/p>\n<h2>Key takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>RCB completed the chase of 76 with 81 balls remaining, marking the second-largest win by balls to spare in the IPL.<\/li>\n<li>Delhi Capitals were dismissed for under 100 on 11 occasions in the IPL\u2014the highest such number for any team.<\/li>\n<li>RCB restricted opponents below 100 for the eighth time in IPL history, also the most by any team.<\/li>\n<li>DC\u2019s 76 total is their third-lowest IPL score and the third-lowest any team has made against RCB.<\/li>\n<li>The match used 138 deliveries in total, making it the second-shortest completed IPL game (outside reduced overs), with the record for shortest being 125 balls in 2008 at Wankhede.<\/li>\n<li>Delhi lost their first six wickets in just 3.5 overs, the quickest such start to a six-wicket collapse in IPL history.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Delhi\u2019s innings: rapid wickets and record-low phases<\/h2>\n<p>Delhi Capitals were bundled out in a manner that set several new milestones. The team\u2019s top six batters together managed only seven runs versus Royal Challengers Bengaluru\u2014registering the second-lowest combined output by a side\u2019s top six in an IPL innings.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t just the collapse that stood out, but also the speed of it. Delhi lost their first five wickets at 2.4 overs, the earliest any team has reached that stage of an innings in IPL history. From there, the sixth wicket fell in 3.5 overs, again the earliest any team has been six down in the competition.<\/p>\n<p>At the point of their sixth wicket, Delhi\u2019s score of eight runs was the lowest ever recorded in the IPL at that specific fall\u2014previously, the bottom mark was 11, made by the Knights in 2011 against Deccan Chargers.<\/p>\n<p>This also became a wider T20 franchise-league low: it is the smallest total in men\u2019s T20 franchise cricket for the loss of six wickets. Only five teams have produced fewer runs before losing their sixth wicket in a men\u2019s T20 franchise competition.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Delhi\u2019s powerplay output was 13 for 6, the lowest powerplay score in IPL history. The earlier low was 14 for 2 by Rajasthan Royals against RCB in 2009, and another 14 for 3 by Sunrisers Hyderabad against Rajasthan in 2022.<\/p>\n<h2>Match length and RCB\u2019s dominance, plus IPL batting milestones<\/h2>\n<p>The thoroughness of Bengaluru\u2019s control showed up in the match duration as well. Together, RCB and Delhi bowled a total of 138 balls, creating the second-shortest completed match in the IPL when excluding contests shortened by reductions. The shortest completed game in IPL history was a 125-ball affair between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>RCB\u2019s ability to repeatedly set opponents up for low totals is reflected in the wider IPL record. Delhi\u2019s dismissal under 100 happened 11 times across the league, the most for any franchise. Meanwhile, RCB have held opponents under 100 eight times in IPL history, which is also the highest number by any team.<\/p>\n<p>As for the broader context of individual performance, Virat Kohli reached 9012 IPL runs, becoming the first player to pass the 9000 mark. Rohit Sharma sits as the only other batter with 7000-plus runs, having amassed 7183 runs in the league.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Royal Challengers Bengaluru\u2019s chase of
