Match number 26 of the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 was between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC). It was a great game on Saturday afternoon, and it was a low-scoring match, as DC defeated RCB by 6 wickets. David Miller demonstrated his finishing experience and finished the game.<\/p>\n
During the game, DC captain Axar Patel got injured and had to leave the field during the run chase as Axar Patel had leg cramps and retired hurt during the game. He was struggling while walking back and when he came out, RCB all-rounder Krunal Pandya gave him a shoulder.<\/p>\n
After winning the match, Axar Patel did not turn up during the post-match presentation ceremony, and KL Rahul came and later in the post-match press conference, the team’s director of cricket Venugopal Rao gave an update on Axar’s cramp and whether there was any serious injury during the match.<\/p>\n
Venugopal Rao said, “Akshar Patel has had cramps, he will be fit for the next game. In the last game he played the role of stubs. We are blessed to have him. Born and brought up here. Used all his experience, the kind of role we have given him, he is perfecting it. Birthday boy.”<\/p>\n
DC won the toss and decided to field first; Both teams went into this game without making any changes from their previous games. Both teams were in good form in this edition of the tournament. There was no score of 200+ due to the slow wicket, and thus, despite good starts, the RCB batsmen could not score runs in the middle overs.<\/p>\n
Virat Kohli and Phil Salt got off to a good start but were out for 19 runs. Salt once again stepped up and scored a brilliant half-century and scored 63 runs in 38 balls on a slightly sticky pitch.<\/p>\n
RCB collapsed in the middle overs and lost 5 wickets in the space of 50 runs. The defending champions then failed to take the lead in the match as the DC bowlers restricted the home side to 175\/8. Tim David was aggressive by scoring 26 runs in 17 balls.<\/p>\n
While chasing the target, DC were in trouble after losing three wickets in the form of Pathum Nissanka, Karun Nair and Sameer Rizvi for just 18 runs. Then KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs took charge; The former player once again scored a half-century on his home ground and played an innings of 57 runs.<\/p>\n
Then it was Stubbs and Axar Patel as they piled on the runs, Axar Patel went out due to cramps, and David Miller got redemption, scoring 22 runs in 10 balls to take the match away from RCB, and finish the game in style. Stubbs was awarded the Player of the Match award for his match-winning innings of 60 runs.<\/p>\n
