This incredible run shows just how tough, adaptable, and fired up RCB were, helping them grab second place on the points table with 9 wins, 4 losses, and a net run rate of 0.301, setting them up for Qualifier 1 against Punjab Kings. It all started with a big 7-wicket win over defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens. RCB kept the momentum going, thrashing Chennai Super Kings by 50 runs at Chepauk and then outplaying Mumbai Indians by 12 runs at Wankhede.

They didn’t stop there, smashing Rajasthan Royals by 9 wickets in Jaipur and powering past Punjab Kings with a 7-wicket victory in Mullanpur. They also beat Delhi Capitals by 6 wickets in Delhi, showing they could win anywhere.

The cherry on top was their final away game against Lucknow Super Giants. Chasing a huge 228 runs, Jitesh Sharma played a blinder, smashing an unbeaten 85 off just 33 balls to seal a 6-wicket win with 8 balls to spare—their highest successful chase ever in the IPL.
