RCB Vs LSG: Jitesh Sharma And Virat Kohli Leads RCB To Win Against Lucknow By 6 Wickets, Proceeds To Qualifier 1

The equation is simple for Royal Challengers Bengaluru – beat Lucknow Super Giants and secure a place in Qualifier 1 in the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL).

Royal Challengers Bangalore is through to the first qualifier in IPL 2025. Six players from Royal Challengers Bangalore helped them win against Lucknow Super Giants by 6 wickets. Lucknow opened with a score of 227 runs off 3 wickets after 20 overs, as captain Rishabh Pant scored a century. Sadly, RCB hit their target only by losing 4 wickets. Batting brilliantly was King Kohli, who reached 50 runs for the team. Mayank Agrawal and Jitesh Sharma added another record to RCB by hitting an unbroken century partnership together.
