KL Rahul, the former RCB batter was the chief tormentor as DC needed 164 runs to make it four wins out of 4 in the IPL and their talisman, KL Rahul smacked an unbeaten 93 off 53 and steered his side past the winning line.
This was RCB's 45th loss at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, the most by a team at a venue and the most by a team at their home ground. Prior to the clash RCB had the joint-worst home record in IPL alongside Delhi Capitals (44), but now they have surpassed them in this unwanted list.
The third spot now belongs to the defending champions, Kolkata Knight Riders, who have lost 38 matches at the Eden Gardens.

DC thrash RCB at their den
The Royal Challengers came into the clash against DC on the back of a stellar win against MI, however, the Delhi team outplayed them in all departments of the game and recorded a one-sided win.
At one stage, DC looked down and out in the chase but KL Rahul played a blinder and defeated the Red Army to continue their winning juggernaut.
