RCB vs LSG: The 15th match of the 2023 Indian Premier League ended with a nail-biting finish, with the match ending on the last ball of the over. Royal Challengers Bangalore took on Lucknow Super Giants on April 10 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. It had everything one could have asked for and eventually, it had a dramatic finish. LSG won the toss and decided to bowl first. But RCB got off to a flying start, with both openers adding 96 runs for the first wicket.

Virat Kohli was the first one to get out. He scored 61 off 44, with four boundaries and four sixes. Skipper Faf du Plessis carried his bat through the inning and made 79 not out off 44 balls, with five boundaries and the same number of sixes. In the end, Glenn Maxwell also played a quick cameo of 59 off 27. As a result, RCB posted a big total of 212/2 in their first inning.

Chasing the target, LSG had a horrible start as they lost their first three wickets in just four overs for 23 runs. But after that, KL Rahul and Marcus Stoinis added 76 runs for the third wicket. Stoinis was the aggressor and scored 65 off 30, with six fours and five sixes. But still, LSG was far behind. But then, Nicholas Pooran came and smashed the second-fastest IPL half-century. He made a 15-ball fifty and scored 62 off 19 balls.

He, along with Ayush Badoni (30 off 24), added 84 runs for the sixth wicket to take LGS near the target. But the situation got complicated when LSG needed five off the last over and had three wickets in hand. They lost Mark Wood (1) and Jaydev Unadkat (9) in that over, but the last pair clinched a thrilling victory. After the win, the LSG camp was pumped up, including mentor Gautam Gambhir. He was seen making a “fingers on lips” gesture towards RCB fans after the win.

RCB vs LSG: That gesture from Gambhir created chaos and became the talking point after the game. With this win, LSG has moved into the top position on the points table with three wins out of four games. On the other hand, it was the second loss in a row for Faf du Plessis and his team.
