The lop-sided game between RCB and DC also saw a slew of records get broken on the evening. On that note, let's take a look at three of those records that were broken during RCB's 23-run victory.

1. Most 50+ scores at a particular ground

With his 50 against Delhi, Virat Kohli has now scored 25 scores of 50 or plus at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. This is the most by any batter at a particular ground in T20 cricket.

2. Joint-most ducks for DC

With another failure on Saturday, Prithvi Shaw earned an unwanted record to his name as he now has the joint-most ducks for the Capitals in the IPL. His two-ball duck against RCB was Shaw's seventh score of 0 for DC, which is the same number of ducks that Virender Sehwag scored during his time at Delhi.

3. Best bowling figures by an Indian on RCB debut

Vijaykumar Vyshak had a terrific game against Delhi, claiming superb figures of 3/20. This is the best spell bowled by an Indian bowler on a RCB debut, surpassing RP Singh's record of 3/27.
