Royal Challengers Bangalore are locking horns against Lucknow Super Giants in the 15th match of the Indian Premier League 2023 at their home ground M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The visitors’ skipper KL Rahul won the toss and asked Faf du Plessis’ men to bat first. Although his decision was proved wrong by the blistering trio of RCB.
This trio includes the likes of former skipper Virat Kohli and current skipper Faf du Plessis alongside the star Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell. The amazing top three performed up to their stature and smashed three outstanding half-centuries. Virat Kohli scored 61 runs with four boundaries and the same number of sixes.
Later on, the duo of skipper du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell stitched a remarkable partnership of 115 runs for the second wicket. Faf scored 79 runs off just 46 balls with five boundaries and five sixes with the wood; whereas, Glenn Maxwell contributed with the swashbuckling knock of 59 runs off just 29 balls with three boundaries and six maximums to his name.
The ardent RCB fans were also elated and ecstatic following this amazing and sensational performance from the top three of the hosts’ RCB in the crucial match against LSG. They took to Twitter and showered the praises on this amazing trio of Bangalore for their performance.
