Tensions ran high during the IPL 2025 clash between RCB and LSG at Ekana Stadium on May 27. The drama peaked in the 17th over when LSG’s Digvesh Rathi tried to Mankad Jitesh Sharma. The third umpire ruled the batter not out, as Rathi had already completed his bowling action. Amidst this, Virat Kohli’s reaction from the dressing room went viral.

Adding to the chaos, LSG captain Rishabh Pant withdrew the appeal mid-review. Despite the tension, Jitesh Sharma held his nerve, smashing an unbeaten 85 off 33 balls. RCB chased down LSG’s 227-run target in under 19 overs to win by six wickets. With the victory, RCB secured a top-two finish and will face PBKS in Qualifier 1 on May 29.
