IPL 2023: Twitter goes berserk as Lucknow Super Giants beat Royal Challengers Bangalore in a nail-biting thriller
In Match 15 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) won a thrilling encounter against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by 1 wicket at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium on Monday.
The match was packed with thrilling moments, including an impressive performance by Virat Kohli in the powerplay, a 115-meter six by Faf du Plessis, and Nicholas Pooran‘s sensational knock. RCB put up a massive total of 212/2 in their 20 overs, thanks to brilliant batting performances by skipper Faf du Plessis (79 off 46), Kohli (61 off 44), and Glenn Maxwell (59 off 29).
In response, the Super Giants had a shaky start, losing Kyle Mayers for a duck. However, Marcus Stoinis (65 off 30) and Pooran (62 off 19) played explosive innings to keep their team in the game.
The match went down to the wire, with the Super Giants winning the contest by just 1 wicket in the final over. Mohammed Siraj and Wayne Parnell took 3 wickets each for the Challengers, while Harshal Patel and Karn Sharma took 2 and 1 wickets, respectively.
Here is how Twitter reacted:
So much drama, so many emotions! We fought so well to take this right down to the last ball. Spare a thought for Siraj who brought us back into the game! 💔
Still very early in the tournament. Let’s keep fighting together, lads!#PlayBold #ನಮ್ಮRCB #IPL2023 #RCBvLSG pic.twitter.com/d9nqUePQfO

Ufff…crazy game. Harshal Patel and Dinesh Karthik missing out on run-outs of the last ball but a game of thin margins. Pooran was special. Two great games in 2 nights at the IPL. #RCBvsLSG

Fantastic game of cricket. So many variables. A mere run the difference after 425 were made. Could have been a super over from the last ball if Harshal had hit the stumps at the non-striker's end the first time….

Harshal Patel becomes the 2nd fastest to complete 100 wickets in IPL history.
