The excitement of IPL 2025 continues to soar as Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) delivered a commanding performance to defeat Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), securing their position in the top 2 of the points table. The match, held at a packed stadium, was a must-win for RCB—and they didn’t disappoint. Powered by a dominant bowling performance and some late fireworks, RCB have now officially qualified for the playoffs, edging past Gujarat Titans (GT) and earning a strategic advantage heading into the final stages.

RCB vs LSG: Match Highlights

RCB, coming into this match with 17 points, knew the stakes were high. With a strong all-round effort, they dismantled LSG and secured a win that propelled them to 19 points, second only to Punjab Kings (PBKS) based on Net Run Rate (NRR).

While RCB’s team effort stood out, the day also belonged to Rishabh Pant, whose electrifying 118-run innings (his highest in IPL 2025) came in Delhi Capitals’ earlier clash, further spicing up the Orange Cap race and proving that he’s still one of the most dangerous batters in the tournament.

Virat Kohli’s Impactful Knock

While RCB’s bowlers set the tone early, it was Virat Kohli who anchored the chase with another clinical and composed innings. Kohli scored a brilliant 67 runs off 45 balls, filled with trademark cover drives, elegant flicks, and calculated aggression.

His knock ensured that RCB chased the target with minimal hiccups and boosted their Net Run Rate (NRR)—a crucial factor in edging past Gujarat Titans to secure the 2nd position on the points table.

Kohli may not be in the top 3 of the Orange Cap race, but his consistency and leadership at the crease have been instrumental in RCB’s late surge this season
