<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNEW DELHI: It was a nightmare evening for Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium as the \u201ccurse of April 27\u201d returned to haunt the IPL<\/a> after 15 years. On the same date in 2011, Kochi Tuskers Kerala had slumped to 11 for 6 \u2014 and now, DC matched that ignominy in even more dramatic fashion against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Monday.RCB\u2019s pacers produced a ruthless display, reducing DC to a staggering 8 for 6 inside four overs<\/a>, eventually leaving them at 13 for 6 at the end of the powerplay \u2014 the lowest-ever powerplay score in a full IPL match. The collapse also equalled the record for most wickets lost (six) inside the first six overs of an IPL innings, matching Kochi\u2019s unwanted feat from 2011.Most wickets lost inside (1-6 overs) in an IPL innings<\/span><\/p>\n Watch<\/span><\/p>\n Vijay Dahiya on Virat Kohli\u2019s mindset and why experience still matters.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Pacers run riot in historic collapse<\/span>The carnage began in the very first over when Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled debutant Sahil Parakh with a searing inswinging yorker for a two-ball duck. Josh Hazlewood then turned the screws, striking twice in consecutive deliveries to remove KL Rahul and Sameer Rizvi.Bhuvneshwar returned to dismiss Tristan Stubbs and skipper Axar Patel in quick succession, while Hazlewood added Nitish Rana to the list. Within 3.5 overs, DC were staring at an unbelievable 8 for 6, their top order blown away by precision seam bowling.Live Score:<\/span> DC vs RCB, IPL 2026<\/a>Records tumble in dramatic fashion<\/span>The collapse rewrote multiple unwanted records. DC\u2019s 13 for 6 in the powerplay is now the lowest in a completed IPL innings, surpassing Rajasthan Royals\u2019 14 for 2 in 2009. It also places them alongside Kochi Tuskers Kerala (2011) for the most wickets lost in the first six overs of an innings.Other infamous entries on the list include Delhi Daredevils\u2019 24 for 6 (2017), RCB\u2019s 28 for 6 (2014), and Sunrisers Hyderabad\u2019s 29 for 6 (2013), but DC\u2019s latest meltdown stands out for its sheer scale and timing.Lowest Powerplay (1-6 overs) totals in the IPL<\/span><\/p>\n RCB skipper Rajat Patidar had opted to bowl first, citing favourable chasing conditions \u2014 a decision that paid off instantly. His bowlers executed the plan to perfection, with sharp catches from Jitesh Sharma and Devdutt Padikkal adding to DC\u2019s misery.For DC, it was a collapse that will be remembered for all the wrong reasons \u2014 a chilling reminder of how quickly fortunes can unravel in T20 cricket, especially on a date that now carries an eerie legacy.<\/div>\n\n
