Digvesh Rathi Mankads Jitesh Sharma, but Rishabh Pant withdraws appeal

Royal Challengers Bengaluru secured a crucial top-two finish in a high-stakes IPL match against Lucknow Super Giants. LSG posted a formidable 227/3, highlighted by Rishabh Pant’s explosive century. RCB’s successful chase, their highest ever in IPL history, was marked by a controversial Mankad appeal that was later withdrawn. Jitesh Sharma’s blistering 85* and Mayank Agarwal’s support propelled RCB to victory.
