RCB vs LSG: Monday's  IPL 2023 encounter between the teams of Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants witnessed many highlights. While the biggest one of the night might be the final ball drama that ended with Avesh Khan and Ravi Bishnoi completing the single to take LSG home, the match also saw the biggest six of the campaign being hit. Faf du Plessis swung hard during the game to scorch one past the 115-meter mark. Upon witnessing the short from the dugout Virat Kohli showcased what he thought of the shot via facial expression.

The high-scoring match between RCB and LSG went down to the wire. However, apart from the last ball finish, the match also displayed the fastest 50 of this year's IPL being hit and the biggest six of the campaign also featured in this match. RCB captain Faf du Plessis was on song while batting. The South African played an unbeaten 79-run knock and took his side to a monumental total against Super Giants. In his innings, he scored 5 sixes, one of which went the record distance. As RCB were in a great position to take chances and accelerate, Faf du Plessis targetted the 15th over, which was bowled by Ravi Bishnoi. Du Plessis hit 2 sixes in that over and got the ball to travel 115 meters with the second strike.
