In their last league stage game of the Indian Premier League 2025, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) defeated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by six wickets. This was undoubtedly RCB's most terrific batting performance of the season. With this win, RCB have finished in the number 2 spot of the points table.
