Delhi Capitals have lost their first six wickets with just eight runs on the board against RCB in an IPL 2026 match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
RCB players celebrate a wicket against Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026. Delhi Capitals have lost their first six wickets with just eight runs on the board against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in one of the worst possible starts in the history of Indian Premier League (IPL) on Monday. The downfall of Delhi Capitals come just a few days after the same franchise put up a mammoth 264/2 in 20 overs, riding on KL Rahul's 152 not out.
It all started with debutant 18-year-old Sahil Parakh, who replaced Sri Lankan Pathum Nissanka at the top of the batting order. Bhuvneshwar Kumar drew the first blood, getting better of Parakh with an unplayable in swinging yorker for a duck.
Coming from a record-breaking 152 not out against Punjab Kings, Rahul could manage only one off three balls, after top edging Josh Hazlewood on the first ball of the second over. The Australian had another to his tally when Sameer Rizvi edged behind to Jitesh Sharma for a golden duck.
Bhuvneshwar added more misery for Delhi Capitals with the wickets of Tristan Stubbs and Axar Patel in the third over as Delhi Capitals were tottering at 8/5 after three overs. Hazlewood picked his third of the night when he had Nitish Rana, caught at gully by Devdutt Padikkal for 1.
Whats the lowest IPL score by Delhi Capitals?
The lowest score by Delhi Capitals (the Delhi Daredevils) in IPL history is 66 against Mumbai Indians in 2017. In the same edition, they once again were shot down below 70-run mark when the then Karun Nair-led side were shot out for 67 in 17.1 overs.
