In order to overcome the LSG and secure a ticket in Qualifier 1 against the Punjab Kings, RCB executed the most successful chase in IPL history, chasing down 228.
The game’s hero at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium was stand-in skipper Jitesh Sharma, who amassed an incredible undefeated score of 85 off just 33 balls. The squad won thanks to his innings, which was filled with eight boundaries and six sixes. In order to secure a six-wicket victory with eight balls remaining, Mayank Agarwal also produced a pivotal knock, smashing an undefeated 41 off 23 balls and adding 97 in just 41 balls in partnership with Jitesh.
With Phil Salt and Virat Kohli smashing 61 runs in only 5.4 overs, the RCB chase got off to a great start. Kohli gripped one end tightly after Salt landed. The seasoned batsman became the first batter to score 9,000 T20 runs for a single team, reaching his half-century in 27 balls. However, with RCB requiring 125 from 52 balls at 103/4, Kohli’s removal for 54 left them in a precarious position.
Earlier, LSG scored 227/3 with to Mitchell Marsh’s 67 off 37 and captain Rishabh Pant’s incredible undefeated 118*, his first IPL century since 2018. However, in spite of the amount, Bengaluru’s hitters were too strong for LSG’s bowlers to handle. In addition to becoming the first team to win all seven away games in a single IPL season, RCB now has a fantastic chance to go to the final when they play PBKS in Qualifier 1.
