RCB bowlers produced an impressive power play by dismissing six of DC’s batsmen with less than 10 runs on the board in the clash between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

The Royal Challengers started with their new bowling pair of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood, who, to no one’s surprise, once again bowled perfectly in the powerplay, too cheaply, and picked wickets in almost every game they played.

RCB bowlers write history with 6 wickets against DC

Royal Challengers Bengaluru had not left Delhi Capitals much in the game as they bowled perfectly with the new ball. Bhuvi threatened the outer edges of the bat with his swing, while Josh Hazlewood has been hitting hard against the DC batsmen.

Together, they gave away just 13 runs in the first six overs and picked 6 wickets between them, which included almost all the big names from that DC batting unit. This is a record in itself as for the first time in the history of the game, a team lost six wickets with less than 10 runs on the board.

Craziest powerplay ever in IPL history as RCB restricted DC to lowest powerplay score ever

The IPL has been one of the oldest franchise leagues in the world and has been played for over 19 seasons, spanning three decades in cricket history. However, nothing like this has ever been seen in the history of the game.

RCB bowled an impressive powerplay, dismissing the entire DC batting order for just 13 runs within the powerplay. This is now the lowest score in IPL history in the first six overs of the game.

Royal Challengers pacers Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar picked three wickets each, and only one of the DC batsmen could surpass the score of 1 among the first eight batsmen who reached the crease to bat in the powerplay.

DC enters unwanted list of teams with humiliating record in IPL history

Delhi Capitals have now entered another humiliating list where they catch up with franchises like Rajasthan Royals and former franchise Kochi Tuskers Kerala. The record is losing five or more wickets with less than 10 runs on the board.

The Kochi Tuskers were the first to have this humiliating record back in 2011, the only season they played, when they were reduced to 8/6. Rajasthan Royals came into the count with their humiliating show against SRH in this IPL season, when five batsmen were dismissed with just 9 runs on the board.

DC have now lost six wickets and became the first team to reach the embarrassing mark. However, despite their struggles, they have surpassed RCB’s lowest score of 49 in the IPL. They are now looking to surpass their lowest IPL score of 66.
