The IPL 2025 game between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru had huge stakes for the latter side, as they knew a win would confirm their position in the top 2 of the league table.

Jitesh Knock Seals RCB Win

Many thought that the swashbuckling ton hit by Rishabh Pant would have been enough to see LSG end their season with a win, as they scored 227-3 in their 20 overs. 

However, a good start from openers Virat Kohli and Phil Salt gave RCB the platform they needed to go for what at one point seemed like an unlikely win. 

Stand-in skipper Jitesh Sharma and Mayank Agarwal ended up getting the job done for RCB, confirming their top 2 finish and giving them 2 bites at the cherry as far as making the IPL final is concerned.
