Prithvi Shaw: 7.5/10

Shaw was excellent in the powerplay as he took DC to 63/0 after the 6 overs. He was dismissed shortly after off Mohammed Siraj, but he had laid a strong foundation for the rest of the batsmen to accelerate.


Shikhar Dhawan: 6/10

Dhawan got yet another 30-odd score in this game, and is really struggling to convert his starts into big scores. The southpaw's strike rate is another area of concern for DC, and Ajinkya Rahane is beginning to knock on the door of one opening slot.


Shimron Hetmyer: 5.5/10

Hetmyer came in at No. 6 in this game against RCB, and although he did hit a six, he found it difficult to play the big shots right from the outset. The West Indian has played a bit-part role for DC so far, and he should be ready to fire when the top order fails.


Shreyas Iyer: 5/10

Iyer took his time to get his eye in, but unlike the previous game, he couldn't carry on from there. The DC captain holed out in the deep off Moeen Ali as Devdutt Padikkal took an excellent catch, but he was superb with his bowling changes and field placements on the night.


Rishabh Pant: 7/10

Pant's 37 off 25 and his partnership with Marcus Stoinis played big roles in DC reaching 196, although it must be said that he wasn't near his best. The southpaw has scored a similar amount of runs in every single IPL 2020 game so far, and he'll want to get bigger scores.


Marcus Stoinis: 8.5/10

Stoinis was superb in Dubai yet again as he registered his second IPL 2020 fifty. The Aussie all-rounder took the attack to Navdeep Saini and the other RCB bowlers, and finished on 53 off 26. He was a tad lucky to have been dropped by Chahal in the deep, but his form is a major bonus for DC.


Ravichandran Ashwin: 7.5/10

Ashwin picked up the wicket of the in-form Devdutt Padikkal, and bowled an economical spell of 4-0-26-1. The off-spinner chose not to Mankad Aaron Finch when he had the opportunity to, which was a major talking point from the game.


Axar Patel: 9/10

Returning for the injured Amit Mishra, Axar was superb once again in an IPL 2020 game. The left-arm spinner picked up 2 crucial wickets - Aaron Finch and Moeen Ali - and conceded only 18 runs in his 4 overs. He was adjudged the Man of the Match in this game


Kagiso Rabada: 9.5/10

Rabada was the pick of the DC bowlers once again, and made an admirable comeback from the pasting he received at the hands of KKR in the previous IPL 2020 game. The South African picked up 4 wickets, with the most important one being that of RCB skipper Virat Kohli.


Anrich Nortje: 8.5/10

Nortje has been one of the standout performers in IPL 2020 so far, and his excellent form continued in this game against RCB. The Protea quick scalped two wickets, including the crucial scalp of the dangerous AB de Villiers.

Harshal Patel: 3/10

Harshal was the only DC bowler who was expensive on the night, and conceded 43 runs in his 4 overs. The pacer was bailed out by his teammates today, but Ishant Sharma is certainly in contention for spot in the DC playing XI in upcoming IPL 2020 games.

Devdutt Padikkal: 2/10

Padikkal registered his second failure of IPL 2020. His struggles against off-spinners was well documented coming into this game, and he did nothing to dispel those theories as he holed out in the deep off Ashwin. It was a rash shot from the young southpaw, and quite unlike what he's shown so far in IPL 2020.


Aaron Finch: 2/10

Finch was woeful in this game - he offered a catch each to Rabada and Dhawan, before finally nicking one off Axar. The Aussie opener has scored one fifty in IPL 2020, but apart from that innings, he's looked all at sea.


Virat Kohli: 6.5/10

Kohli was the only RCB batsman to score more than 20 runs in this game, but even he struggled to accelerate with the required run rate increasing rapidly. The RCB skipper was tied up by Axar before he finally inside-edged one off Rabada.


AB de Villiers: 3/10

De Villiers hit a couple of fours in the 6 balls that he was at the crease, but perished playing a loft off his countryman Nortje. The South African's dismissal came at an inopportune time, and it was a very poor shot from the experienced professional.


Shivam Dube: 3/10

Dube came in with a number of overs to go for the second time in IPL 2020, but despite managing one six, he was unable to reduce the margin of RCB's defeat. The all-rounder didn't get to bowl in this game, and there's no doubt that his batting alone is not good enough to warrant a place in the side.


Moeen Ali: 4/10

Ali's only contribution in this game was to claim that wicket of DC captain Shreyas Iyer, as he went for 21 runs off 2 overs and scored only 11 runs off 13 balls. It wasn't the best introduction to IPL 2020 for the Englishman, who will want to perform at a higher level in the coming games.


Washington Sundar: 8/10

Sundar was the only RCB bowler with an economy rate less than 8.5, as the off-spinner conceded only 20 runs in his 4 overs while bowling 3 of them in the powerplay. The Tamil Nadu man received a promotion ahead of Dube, but apart from a couple of gorgeous shots, he didn't do enough with the bat. Overall, though, his performance was perhaps the only positive for RCB in this game.


Isuru Udana: 4.5/10

Udana went for 40 runs in his 4 overs and picked up the wicket of Shikhar Dhawan in this game. He started off poorly against Prithvi Shaw, and although he managed to pull things back slightly at the death, RCB will be praying for the return of Chris Morris.


Mohammed Siraj: 7.5/10

Siraj bowled with fire and passion for RCB in this game, and picked up the wickets of Rishabh Pant and Prithvi Shaw. Apart from a nightmare no-ball that went for six, the pacer was accurate and quick.


Navdeep Saini: 1/10

Nothing went right for Saini on the night, as he conceded 48 runs in 3 overs. The RCB spearhead was taken to the cleaners by Shaw and Stoinis, although he should've had the wicket of the latter.


Yuzvendra Chahal: 1/10

Chahal was another RCB strike bowler who had an off-day, perhaps for the first time in IPL 2020. The leg-spinner conceded 29 runs in his 3 overs, and despite a hint of turn on offer, couldn't keep up with the form that he has displayed in the tournament so far. He also dropped a catch in the deep that cost RCB a considerable amount of runs.
