After Kolkata Knight Riders’ miraculous one-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans on Sunday, it was the Lucknow Super Giants’ (LSG) turn to pull a rabbit out of the hat as they made a stunning comeback against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Bengaluru to win by a solitary wicket in a game that went down to the very last delivery, and jump to the top of the points table in the process.

And much like the GT vs KKR match, the RCB-LSG fixture too swung from one direction to another — from the Bangalore top-order trio of Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell slamming fifties and RCB dismantling the opposition top-order to the Lucknow middle-order trio of Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran and Ayush Badoni scripting one of the greatest comebacks in the history of the league.
