[Watch] Digvesh Rathi’s Failed Mankad Attempt Against Jitesh Sharma During LSG vs RCB in IPL 2025

The IPL 2025 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) was full of drama. LSG scored a huge total of 227 runs after Rishabh Pant’s brilliant century. RCB’s chase looked difficult in the beginning, but their captain Jitesh Sharma changed the game with an unbelievable knock.

Jitesh Sharma Wins The Game For RCB With Unbeaten 85

Jitesh Sharma was in top form and played a captain’s knock. When he was batting on 49, it looked like LSG got his wicket. He was caught at backward point and started walking back. Digvesh Rathi, who took the catch, was so happy that he celebrated with his famous notebook pose.

But suddenly, everything changed. The third umpire checked the delivery and found that Rathi had overstepped the return crease with his back foot. It was a no-ball, and Jitesh got a lifeline.

On the very next ball, Jitesh hit a six to reach his half-century. Digvesh Rathi then tried to mankad him but failed again. Jitesh stayed calm and continued to attack.

He finished the match in style with a big six and took RCB to a memorable win. He stayed unbeaten on 85 from just 33 balls, with 8 fours and 6 sixes. It was one of the best knocks of the season.

RCB chased down their highest total in IPL history and booked their place in Qualifier 1. They will now face Punjab Kings on May 29. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians will take on Gujarat Titans in the Eliminator on May 30. The final stage of IPL 2025 is all set for big matches.
