It was a blitzkrieg by Royal Challenger Bangalore’s batters as they smashed Lucknow Super Giants’ bowlers all across the ground racing to a monumental 212/2. This game was expected to bring out fireworks as the game was played at M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Virat Kohli was the first to take on the bowlers as he smashed 4 sixes and 4 fours in his 61-run inning. After this, Glenn Maxwell came in and put a halt to his poor run of form and smashed 59 off just 29 deliveries. The Australian batter hit 6 sixes and provided entertainment for everyone’s money worth.

RCB captain Faf du Plessis also joined in on the act and capped off Bangalore’s batting with a brilliant 79 off 46. The South African batter hit 5 fours and 5 sixes, one of which went 115 meters, becoming the longest six of IPL 2023.

Coming onto chase the monumental target LSG’s in-form batter Kyle Mayers got out on the fourth ball of the innings. Deepak Hooda also failed as he could only make 9 off 10. Krunal Pandya who took LSG across the finish line in the last match also faltered

It was then the Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis who finally displayed his worth with a sensational 65 off just 30 balls with 6 fours and 5 sixes. His innings brought LSG right back into the game but it was still a lot to be achieved by the LSG batters. This was when Nicholas Pooran took to the crease and took the game by the scruff of the neck.

The West Indies Southpaw scored the fastest half-century of the IPL 2023 and got the game right into the reach of LSG. In the end, despite losing nine wickets, the Blue Brigade won by one wicket.
