Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals were involved in a close game on the final day of the league stage of IPL 2021. In the end, it was RCB who won the game.

RCB and DC involved in a close game

Put in to bat first, Delhi Capitals were off to a good start. Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan, who had been struggling in the UAE leg, got their mojo back and went after most of the RCB bowlers. However, the RCB bowlers pulled things back and although Shimron Hetmyer played a cameo at the end, DC was able to put just 164 runs on the board.

In the chase, RCB was off to a bad start as they lost openers Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal very early. AB de Villiers was promoted and after he steadied the ship, he got out as well. It was the partnership between Glenn Maxwell and KS Bharat that eventually won the game for the side.

After conceding just four runs off the last over, Delhi Capitals had the game in its hand. Avesh Khan further strengthened the hold by bowling a few good balls in the final over. However, in the penultimate ball, KS Bharat missed connecting the ball and Avesh mockingly smiled at the batsman. Sunil Gavaskar, on the com-box, said that it was unnecessary. The legend said that what matters is who has the last laugh. The next two balls, Avesh Khan struggled and Bharat hit a six off the last delivery to steal a win for his side.
