Delhi Capitals needed to get off to a good start with the ball; Rather, they needed to replicate something that Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood had done for Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, with none of the key fast bowlers playing, they look vulnerable to the RCB batsmen.
After a dreadful first innings performance by Delhi Capitals in the IPL clash between RCB and DC, RCB opener Jacob Bethel gave the much needed momentum to the RCB innings. He hit a tremendous hit, which went out of the park.

When RCB needed only 76 runs to win their 12th point of the season and extend their lead over Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals, young opener Bethel, who replaced Phil Salt at the top of the order, got them off to a great start.
Although he did not add many runs, he hit two big hits to give the RCB batsmen the confidence which was much needed after the disappointing performance of the DC batsmen. He hit his second six in the third over off Kyle Jamieson, which went out of the park.
This hit was a tremendous six, which went 104 meters and deposited on the roof of the stadium. This laid the foundation for an easy win for the Royal Challengers.
