IPL 2018, DD vs RCB: 5 talking points
AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli finally came to the party as the Royal Challengers Bangalore chased down an imposing target of 182 posted by Delhi Daredevils at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium to keep alive their chances of progressing to the play-off stages of this year's IPL.
Rishabh Pant's 34-ball 61 and 17-year-old debutant Abhishek Sharma's unbeaten 19-ball 46 seemed to have put Delhi on track with a score of 181 on board, but the visitors were up to the task with the team's star duo taking up the responsibility and getting the job done.
De Villiers was unbeaten on 72 from 37 balls as RCB won the match by 5 wickets and with one over to spare.
Here are the 5 major talking points from the match.
#5 Yuzvendra Chahal's early double jolts Delhi Daredevils
RCB's Yuzvendra Chahal has underperformed in the 2018 IPL, but tonight he was right on his money as he bamboozled young sensation Prithvi Shaw in the very first over of the Delhi innings to give RCB a great start in a must-win game for his side.
He followed it up with the dismissal of Jason Roy who was looking dangerous having Umesh Yadav for a six and a boundary in the second over of the Delhi innings.
It was the wrong one that deceived Roy and two bowled dismissals in two overs was an absolute delight to watch and gave Virat Kohli just the start he would have been hoping for.
