In a high-stakes Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium, Royal Challengers Bengaluru scripted one of the greatest turnarounds in tournament history.

RCB storms into Qualifier 1 with Record Chase in Lucknow

Facing Lucknow Super Giants in the final league match of IPL 2025, RCB successfully chased down a mammoth 228 to book their spot in Qualifier 1, becoming the first team in IPL history to win seven away games in a single season. This stunning comeback comes after RCB loss the last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by a big margin of around 50 runs. Now, they’re heading into the playoffs with six straight wins and a resurgent unit that’s hungry for its first IPL title in 18 editions. The 2025 season has been nothing short of poetic for RCB, a team often celebrated for its fanbase but haunted by heartbreak. Their remarkable rise, powered by team unity and timely performances, now makes them a genuine title contender.

Jitesh Sharma played the innings of his life, smashing an unbeaten 85 off just 33 deliveries, to anchor a fearless run chase that left LSG stunned. Virat Kohli further set the tone with a majestic 54 off 30 balls, reaching a historic landmark of 9000 runs for RCB, the first cricketer in T20 franchise history to do so. While Mayank Agarwal played the supporting act with a well-paced 44, it was Jitesh’s counterattack in the death overs that tilted the game decisively.
