The IPL 2025 game between RCB and LSG is turning out to be an absolute cracker of a game. Lucknow Super Giants posted a massive total of 227 after Rishabh Pant's century and RCB looked in trouble initially during the run-chase. However, Jitesh Sharma, the captain of the side, came up with an absolutely stunning knock to take RCB over the line.

Jitesh Sharma though had a lucky break when he was batting on 49. He was caught at backward point, and was all ready to walk off the field. Digvesh Rathi, the bowler, also thought that he has got the big wicket and brought out his famous notebook celebration. 

However, things went in opposite direction in a matter of couple of minutes as Digvesh Rathi was caught cutting return crease with his back foot. It turned out to be a no-ball, and Jitesh Sharma got an unexpected lifeline.

On the very next ball, Jitesh Sharma slammed a six and reached his fifty in style. The batter then had another scare when Digvesh Rathi tried to mankad him. Jitesh survived it too, and finished off the chase with a stunning six to take his team to the Qualifier 1. The wicketkeeper batter stayed unbeaten on 85 from just 33 balls, and hit 8 fours and 6 sixes in his knock for the ages.

In the process, Bengaluru chased down their highest-ever total, and now RCB will face-off against Punjab Kings in Qualifier 1 on May 29. Mumbai Indians will play Gujarat Titans in the Eliminator on May 30, and it promises to be a cracking last phase of IPL 2025.
