Virat Kohli’s RCB move to the top of the points table
The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), who were sent in to bat, got off to a shaky start. It was AB de Villiers who put on a solid performance to propel his team to a total of 171 in 20 overs.
Chasing the total, the Delhi Capitals lost their top order and were struggling to find their way in the game. However, a blitzkrieg from Shimron Hetmyer towards the end turned the game into a last-ball thriller.
Eventually, it was Mohammed Siraj’s heroics in the last over that helped RCB secure yet another win to move back to the top of the IPL points table. RCB now have 5 wins from 6 games and are the first team to cross 10 points in IPL 2021. DC, on the other hand, are third in the table, with 4 wins in 6 games.
Virat Kohli’s men are now only 3 wins away from virtually securing a play-offs spot this season.
