In reply, RCB never really looked to take the game away from DC as they lost both their openers cheaply. Skipper Virat Kohli (43) was the lone warrior as none of the other batsman showed the fighting spirit. Kagiso Rabada created havoc with the ball as he scalped 4 wickets to take the purple cap.
With this 4 wicket haul, Kagiso Rabada has now taken atleast a wicket in 19 consecutive games.

This win would boost the already confident DC and would leave RCB with questions to answer.
