Royal Challengers Bengaluru dominated Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026 action. RCB's disciplined bowling unit was exceptional on a sluggish Chinnaswamy pitch, restricting LSG to just 146 all out. Rasikh Salam Dar delivered a career-best 4/24 with intelligent pace variations and yorkers, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar added 3/27. Josh Hazlewood maintained precision at an economy rate of five. LSG's batting collapsed in the middle and death overs despite early promise from Mitchell Marsh's 40 and Mukul Choudhary's 39. The turning point came when LSG captain Rishabh Pant was struck on the elbow and later dismissed for one run. RCB chased down the target with 29 balls remaining, losing only one wicket. Virat Kohli's aggressive 49 off 34 balls proved decisive, including four boundaries in a single over.
