RCB vs LSG Match 23 Highlights - Bengaluru (15 April 2026)

OUT! TAKEN EASILY! Kohli departs two short of his half century. Nonetheless, a well-compiled knock. Full length around the fourth stump at 133.1 kph, shaping back in a touch. Kohli leans into it, looking to loft it straight over the bowler, but the bat turns in his hands and he miscues it off the inner half. In fact, Kohli didn't complete his follow-through after hitting the shot. The ball goes high towards long on, where Pooran settles under it and completes a safe catch. Avesh has two to his name. Royal Challengers Bengaluru are 86/3, chasing 147 runs.

Back of a length, on off, Sharma rides the bounce and eases it to the point region.

Hard length, over off. Jitesh lets the ball come and dabs it in front of point with soft hands.

Hits the good length, outside off, Jitesh cuts it uppishly over point for a single.

 FOUR! Easily done! Short of a good length, outside off, enough width to work with. Rajat Patidar uses the pace, opens the face of the bat and cuts it late, between and over the keeper and the short third fielder for a boundary.

Hard length, on leg, Patidar knocks it off the back foot through wide mid on for a single. RCB need 55 runs from 54 balls.

Drops it short, on the stumps. Patidar camps back and eases it down to long on for an easy run.

Short again, outside off. Jitesh rocks back and punches it wide of cover. Mitchell Marsh runs to his left from deep point and fumbles to pick it up cleanly. Two taken.

 SIX! Just over! Pitched full and around off. Jitesh Sharma takes the front foot forward, and lofts it inside out over the extra cover region. Himmat Singh, just for a moment, feels he is in the game, but sees the ball sail over his head. This is the 400th six in this season of the IPL.

 FOUR! Placed to perfection! Not that full and not too short either, somewhere in-between. Jitesh Sharma drops down to one knee and sweeps it behind square on the leg side for four more runs.

 SIX! Jitesh in a hurry now! Digvesh serves it full and on off. Jitesh Sharma again nails the inside out shot over deep extra cover for a comfortable six more runs.

FOUR! Digvesh is taken to the cleaners! Short and wide, Jitesh Sharma picks the length nicely, goes deep in the crease and cuts it late behind point, beating Mitchell Marsh to his left in the deep for another boundary. 23 runs from this over. A massive one for the hosts.

 SIX! Played with ease and at will! Prince fires it full in length, just outside off. Patidar stays put, and just lets his hands through the shot. Launches it over wide long off fence for half a dozen runs.

OUT! STRAIGHT UP THE CHIMNEY AND TAKEN! An enterprising knock from Patidar comes to an end. Spears it full and on the stumps, does Prince. Rajat Patidar clears the front leg and looks to dump it behind deep mid-wicket, but only manages to get a thick top edge. The ball spoons high up in the night sky and swirls while descending. Digvesh Singh calls for his catch, moves to his right from cover and settles under it to take a fine catch. Royal Challengers Bengaluru are 121/4, needing only 26 runs from 46 balls.

At the stumps, full, David works it to long on for a single.

OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Double strike by Prince as Jitesh bites the dust. Is there any twist left? Back of a length on a fourth stump line, jagging back in. Jitesh gets half forward and swings hard to go big down the ground, but only manages a faint outside edge. Mukul Choudhary gathers it safely in his gloves, goes up in an appeal instantly, joined by Prince Yadav, and the umpire raises the finger. RCB are 122/5, chasing 147.

Back of a length and on the pads. Shepherd rides the bounce and steers it to the deep square leg region for a single.

Low full toss, on off, David drives it straight to short cover.

The googly at 89.4 kph, around off and short. Romario Shepherd camps back and punches it through the vacant cover region for a single.

Pushed full and on leg, clipped gently to mid-wicket.

Slows it up and slides it onto the pads. David gets on the front foot to push it straight back, but inside edges onto the pads.

 SIX! Hit flat and clean! Overpitched and around off, Tim David reads the googly nicely, gets under it and pumps it behind long off for a cracking six.

 IN THE AIR... PUT DOWN! A top effort, goes in vain. Short ball on middle stump. David rocks back and goes for a big heave towards cow corner, but mistimes and does not have the distance or the power to clear the ropes. Abdul Samad moves to his left from deep mid-wicket, takes the catch while running, but then realises he is going beyond the ropes, so he lobs it up casually towards Markram converging from long on. The timing between the two fielders is completely off, almost as if they’re in different time zones. Markram is nowhere near in a position to complete it as Samad runs over the ropes. Two taken.

 FOUR! Misfield now from Linde. Flicks off the fingers, and lands it short, outside off. Tim David rocks back and executes the cut shot to perfection through the point gap. George Linde runs across to his left from deep cover. Puts in a dive, gets his hands on the ball, but ends up parrying it to the ropes behind.

On a good length, around off, slanting it in. Shepherd gets forward and drives it towards mid off.

Oh, a bit of yes and no between the batters, but the fumble from the fielder lets the batters off the hook again. Good length on off, Shepherd nudges it to the right of point and looks for the single. Abdul Samad moves to his right but fails to pick up the ball cleanly and the batters eventually backtrack and not go for the single.

Back of a length and outside off, Shepherd glides the ball off the face of the ball and behind point for a single.

Pitched fuller on middle, David clears the front leg but fails to get under the ball and drills it down to long off for just one more.

SIX! Shepherd wants to end proceedings in this over itself. Slower ball, on a length and around off, Romario Shepherd reads it early, waits for it and powers it across and over wide long on for a biggie. Just 3 needed for the win now.

Full and straight, gets it full enough, does Avesh. Shepherd drives it to long off for a single. Still, 2 needed for the win for RCB.

FOUR! That's it, it's all over. George Linde bowls it slow and short, wide outside off. Romario Shepherd camps back and scythes the cut shot to the right of backward point and ends proceedings with a boundary. Royal Challengers Bengaluru win by 5 wickets and 29 balls to spare.
