1/7 (4 overs) by Suyash is the joint-most economical 4-over spell by an uncapped Indian bowler, alongside Rahul Sharma's 2/7 for PWI in 2011.

9012 runs by Virat Kohli – the first player to 9000 IPL runs. 1172 of those have come against DC, the second-most against any opponent behind his 1174 against CSK.

7/17 by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood is the fourth-best combined figures for opening bowlers in an IPL innings. Their three wickets each inside the Powerplay is the first time two bowlers have done so in the same IPL innings.

4/12 is Josh Hazlewood's joint-best T20 figures, alongside those against Sri Lanka in 2022. It is the second-best figures for RCB vs DC, after Jaydev Unadkat's 5/25 in 2013.

189 runs difference between DC's last two innings (264 vs PBKS, 75 vs RCB) is the highest in two successive games by any team in the same IPL season. The previous highest was 164 by RCB in 2017.

2.5 overs when DC used their Impact Substitute is the second-earliest usage in the first innings of an IPL match. MI used it in the second over against RR in 2024.
