Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) convincing 47-run win over Delhi Capitals on Sunday not only kept them alive in the race to playoffs but also set a new record for most consecutive victories by a team in the Indian Premier League (IPL) history.
Led by Rajat Patidar's 32-ball 52 and useful contributions by Will Jacks (29 off 41 balls), Cameron Green (32 off 24) and Virat Kohli (27 off 13), RCB put up a competitive 187 for 9 on the board after being asked to bat first by Delhi Capitals, who were led by Axar Patel in the absence of Rishabh Pant, out with a one-match suspension.
