Later, incoming batter Suyash Prabhudessai (6), also failed to find the rhythm but Australia all-rounder Maxwell held the fort for RCB with a brilliant batting display. He notched up seven boundaries and two sixes in his 34-ball knock.
Karthik, meanwhile, continued to show that he is still in business as he made the most of his life after being dropped on five runs by Rishabh Pant off a Kuldeep Yadav delivery.
The veteran wicket keeper-batter invented different variations of scoops and sweeps as he hit five boundaries and as many sixes in his 34-ball unbeaten knock while forging an unbroken stand of 97 runs with Shahbaz Ahmed (32 not out).
Ahmed played a brilliant cameo which was laced with three boundaries and a six.
After getting rid of the top three RCB batters, Delhi Capitals bowlers, struggled to provide breakthroughs at regular intervals of time.
Shardul Thakur, Khaleel Ahmed, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav picked up a wicket each.
