RCB vs LSG, IPL 2023: All the DRAMA and Lucknow Super Giants win by 1 wicket

Match 15 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 sees Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) host Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Monday.

In the last season, RCB defeated LSG in the eliminator of IPL 2022. The hero of that game - Rajat Patidar - isn't playing this time around due to injury.

LSG, while having two wins from their three games so far, might still not breathe easy considering it might be a high scoring game.
