RCB vs DC Cricket Scorecard, 26th Match at Bengaluru, April 18, 2026

5.1 to V Kohli , Deep point takes it, Ngidi strikes first ball!. Kohli charges at the 132ks scrambled-seam ball outside off. Was on a length and seemed to slow down off the pitch. Kohli was definitely a touch too early into the shot. Looked to caress and launch it at the same time. Didn't follow through fully, bat face opened and it went too high. Nissanka moves right and takes it. 52 / 1

19.4 to JM Sharma , Jitesh picks out long-off! This is a full toss outside off, pace on this time. Jitesh looks to go downtown but finds the fielder. A laboured knock from Jitesh comes to an end. 172 / 8

10.4 to PD Salt , Kuldeep has his revenge! It's short-ish but also wide and angled across him. Salt has to reach away from his body as he tries to flat-bat it down the ground. Doesn't get the elevation or distance and it's an easy catch for Tristan Stubbs. Two wickets in two overs, and DC may have pulled things back here. 105 / 3

16.3 to R Shepherd , Has Kuldeep yorked Romario Shepherd? This is tossed up around leg and Romario has an odd swipe across the line and misses. Finger goes up immediately. Romario's reviewed this. UltraEdge confirms there was no bat on it. And that's about as plumb as it gets, pitching on middle and crashing into middle and off. Poor shot from Romario, and a poor review. 149 / 6

9.6 to D Padikkal , Left-armer gets left-hander! With a slot ball too, no less. 96ks, around off stump. Padikkal's eyes light up and he drives through the line but ends up scraping it to long-on.. 99 / 2

15.2 to TH David , Looks to go big but gets a top edge to short third! David wanted to take Axar on this over, and he gets out trying to do that. This is not quite full enough for the slog and leads to David's downfall. 146 / 5
