**Lucknow, India** – In a thrilling encounter at the Ekana Stadium, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pulled off a stunning victory against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), successfully chasing down a mammoth target of 228 runs. This remarkable feat marks the third-highest successful chase in IPL history, highlighting RCB’s dominant performance in the match.

RCB’s victory also breaks a new record, making the Bangalore team the first to win all allotted away games during the league phase of a single season in IPL history.

Adding to the excitement, the match witnessed several significant milestones. Virat Kohli became the first player to score over 9000 runs for a single team in T20 cricket, achieving this feat for RCB. Kohli also secured his 8th fifty-plus score of the current IPL season, marking all those times as wins for RCB. This accomplishment surpasses David Warner in most 50-plus scores by a batter (42) in winning causes.

Despite LSG’s Rishabh Pant scoring an impressive unbeaten 118—the first individual hundred at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow—it wasn’t enough to secure a win. Jitesh Sharma’s unbeaten 85, the highest score while batting at No. 6 or lower in a successful IPL run chase, further solidified RCB’s victory.

However, LSG became the first-ever team to lose three matches in an IPL season while defending a 200-plus first innings target. Will O’Rourke of LSG had a forgettable outing, conceding 74 runs in his four overs, making it the third-most expensive four-over spell in IPL history.
