Royal Challengers Bengaluru Epic Record Breaking Chase : Highest run chase in the last match LSG vs RCB IPL 2025

The most beloved team Royal Challengers Bengaluru have achieved their highest run chased in the last match, where they were dominating LSG. It was the last match of LSG, where they brilliantly set an unbeatable target of 228 runs, with the help of Rishabh Pant (118 off 61 balls) and Mitchell Marsh (67 off 37 balls). However, it was a mountain of a target, one that seemed impossible to scale—but last night, RCB achieved the unimaginable. 

Opening batter Virat Kohli and Phil Salt gave momentum with their exceptional betting, both having made an impressive 66 runs in the power play overs, also lost a wicket of Phil Salt who scored 30 off 19 runs. 

Despite losing an important wicket, the team maintained its momentum and Virat Kholi was the key reason behind this. After smashing 54 off 30 balls, Virat Kholi has  scored 9030 runs for RCB in IPL and now he is the only player who have 9000+ runs in T20 cricket. Apart from this, Virat is the only player who has the highest half-century (Total – 63) in IPL and in this season, he smashed a total of 8 half centuries. Additionally, Virat is the only player who has scored 600+ runs in a season and in the ongoing season he superpassed the records. 

Players Who Scored 600+ runs in a Season

We talked about the players who gave the team momentum, but when both of them got out, it was two young players—Jitesh Sharma and Mayank Agarwal—who stepped up. Their partnership turned an impossible chase into a possible one. 

Jitesh Sharma Highest Score In IPL 

The emerging player, Jitesh Sharma has made his highest score of IPL. Due to Rajat Patidar’s injury, the RCB captaincy was handed over to Jitesh Sharma—and the result of that decision was evident last night. He was the man of the match and scored a blistering 85 off 33 balls which became his highest of IPL. Talking about his IPL career, he got his debut in 2022, while playing for Punjab Kings and as of now, he has played a total of 53 IPL matches, and scored a total of 967 runs with the highest of 85. Additionally, he is now the highest run scorer from a middle order batter, superpassing MS Dhoni and Andre Russell. The most important thing, we can not ignore Mayank Agarwal, who also supported us with his impressive innings scoring 41 off 23 balls.

Top Teams with the Most Away Wins in a Single IPL Season

Talking about RCB records, the team is now at the top who has the highest victories in away games, superpassing KKR and MI.

In conclusion, RCB, a team that rules the hearts of millions, delivered an unbelievable performance last night. Now, their next challenge is against Punjab Kings, which is scheduled on 29th may at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium. Looking at RCB’s unstoppable form, it truly feels like this could be the season they finally lift the trophy—and we’ll be eagerly waiting for the day RCB wins the final for the very first time
