Pandya answers RCB’s call while the tables in Delhi turn

“We will feel at home,” said RCB Malolan Rangarajan’s Spin -Bowling trainer when he was asked about the DC against the Clash against RCB about the dimensions of Arun Jaitley Stadium. With its short borders, it was hardly surprising that the Kotla recorded the highest average first inner-in-home (235) in all locations last season, while RCBS Heimatplatz, the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, took fourth place with an average of 197 under the places where at least five games took place. This season, however, it was not just about the entire aggression, and the declines between DC and RCB are proof of this.

The DC RCB on each other in the Arun Jaitley Stadium was effectively a role, which had mined in Bengaluru at the beginning of this month.

At that time it was not an easy Wicket, with Kuldeep Yadav and Vrraj Nigam that limit RCB to 163. DC stumbled to 30/3 in the chase, but a composed 93* of 53 balls from KL Rahul, together with his 111-run partnership with Tristan numbers (38* from 23), headed for it. On Sunday (April 27th) it was RCB to return the favor and to keep DC on 162 with the kind permission of economical spells from Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma, while the Pacers drove away regularly. RCB also sat on 26/3 in her chase, but Pandya played a role similar to Rahul’s former, created great 73 out of 47 balls. His 119-run stand with Virat Kohli (51 Rev 47) sealed an eight-winding victory in 18.3 over and expanded RCBS flawless away record in 2025.

The beating against spin proved particularly difficult with a dry wind, with battery showing the application from both sides, carrying out their innings and the bowlers aim. In the combined number of both teams against spin in this game, only 107 runs were achieved by the 103 deliveries involved by the Slow Bowern. There were only five four and two six who achieved the spinners, but the effective end of the tempo was where RCB emerged, while the majority of the DC battery did not do this.

Both teams recorded similar figures against spin – RCB achieved 57 55 balls with a hit rate of 103.64, while DC 50 of 48 managed at 104.16. However, the difference came against speed. DC collected 108 runs of 73 balls with a hit rate of 147.94, but RCB was far more dominant and hammered 104 runs only 58 balls with an impressive strike rate of 179.31. And it was Pandya’s blow – both against pace and spin – that RCB made life easier despite her early fights. The left -hander received up to 44 runs of 24 balls against the fast bowl and scored 183.33. But he was also employed against the spinners and achieved 29 at 126.08 29 of 23 and even met two four and six of them.

Pandya wore RcB’s counter in the first half in the chase. They had only done 64 runs in the halftime, with Kohli crawling 17 from 21 to 28 in almost a run-a ball and Pandya. When the Pacers passed in the middle, Pandya quickly changed gears. A whip over Midwicket in front of Dushha Chamera in the 11th gave him his first six before moving Mukesh Kumar for two more maximum in the 13th. Even the spinners did not save, Kuldeep Yadav started for a six and swept Axar Patel for four to tell for half a century with 38 ball elements.

Kohli played the supportive role when Pandya RcBs kept chase on the right track. The left -hander added two other borders of Mukesh and one of Chamera to bring the goal to 17 of the last two overs. Tim David then changed the finishing touches with six and three four in front of Mukesh and wrapped the chase with nine balls. But it was Pandyas Innings and the timing of his counterattack, which showed the true game channel for RCB.

“Krunal did a great job to break a bit of this dynamic for us and build a partnership with virate that he did excellently. And then it was good to see how he got the corridors through the corridors and brought us closer to the score. Obviously we still had a lot of firepower in the pavilion, Tim David. Bobat, RcBs Director of Cricket, said on the Press conference after the game.

“One of the things we wanted to do at the auction was ensured that we had the stroke depth. So it goes back to our recruitment. We wanted to make sure that we had except for seven posts in our stroke order, and I think we did this most of the season so far. Today Krunal was the opportunity and he took it very well,” said Bobat. ”

In his chat, Kohli spoke to the broadcaster about the difficult conditions and recognized Pandya’s decisive role in the victory of RCB. “It was a top victory, especially when we looked at the surface. We saw a few games here and I think this Wicket played very differently than the other games. It was a top victory, we were under pressure, 3 for 26, and then and Krunal got a 100-run partnership. He was outstanding with the racket today.

The RCB strike line-up had the luxury of depth that David, Jitesh Sharma and Romario Shepherd were waiting in the wings. But Pandya made sure that they were largely not needed and faced his value with a timely memory.
