In pursuit of their first win of the tournament, bottom-placed DC found the going tough after inserting RCB in.
RCB were going all guns blazing as Virat Kohli (50 off 34 balls) slammed his third fifty of the tournament and Glenn Maxwell (24 off 14 balls; 3x6) was in a six-hitting spree.
But the DC spin trio of Kuldeep (4-1-23-2), Axar Patel (3-0-25-1) and Lalit Yadav (4-0-29-1) seized the momentum in the middle overs.
Mitchell Marsh (2/18 from two overs), who rejoined the team after his wedding, also made a significant contribution with wickets of RCB captain Faf Du Plessis and Mahipal Lomror.
The famed Kohli-du Plessis duo got going without any fuss, scoring 33 runs in four overs.
Kohli hammered Anrich Nortje with a fine boundary, while the South African upped the ante with a couple of fours.
