Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) had a fiery start against Delhi Capitals in the 24th match of the IPL 2025, where the opener Phil Salt was bashing the opponent bowlers. But a terrible mix-up forced the dangerous Salt to lose his valuable wicket through a run-out. 

After Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel chose to field first in Bengaluru, Royal Challengers Bengaluru had a stormy start by recording the fastest 50 runs for a team in the IPL 2025 after scoring 53/0 in three overs. During the third over of the innings, RCB openers Phil Salt and Virat Kohli added 30 runs as Mitchell Starc had one of his worst T20 experiences by conceding three consecutive fours (including one in a no-ball), two sixes (including one in a Free Hit), and ending with a four leg-bye runs. 

Salt set the early stage for RCB to practically dream of a big total of 200 runs in the match. However, the fourth over brought a horrible experience for the hosts, which massively hurt them in the first innings.

Terrible mix-up before Phil Salt's unfortunate run out

Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel was bowling in that fourth over of the innings, while Salt and Kohli had a terrible mix-up on the fifth ball of that over, and it immediately cost Salt's wicket, as he was comfortably run out. The running partners were clueless in the middle of the pitch, and the English cricketer turned back to make his desperate attempt to save his wicket, but it was too late for him. Salt was run out for 37 off 17 balls, where he hit four fours and three sixes. 

RCB scored 163/7

While RCB lost their first wicket for 61 runs, they were struggling at 125/7. Finally, Tim David made a brilliant attempt in the final overs, as his 37 not out in 20 balls (two fours and four sixes) guided RCB to a challenging first innings total of 163/7 in 20 overs.
