On 14 May 2023, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) registered a thrashing 112-run victory over Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the ongoing IPL 2023. While chasing 172 runs, RR got bundled out for 59 runs in just 10.3 overs. Thus, they registered the third-lowest total in the history of this tournament.

With this win, RCB got a massive boost in their overall net run rate and the fight for fourth place in the playoff race has become more interesting. But, after the match, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) came up with a tweet to praise RCB, and seeing that, fans shared their views. It was quite shocking to see a tweet like this from the Lucknow franchise after the ugly bust-up that happened between Virat Kohli, Naveen-ul-Haq, and Gautam Gambhir during the LSG vs RCB clash.       

Here is the shared tweet:

After this 60th clash of IPL 2023, LSG are in fourth place with 13 points in 12 games. While RCB are in fifth place with 12 points in 12 games. So, the last two games for both these teams are going to be crucial in order to get a place in the top four. Speaking of the RR vs RCB clash, Wayne Parnell won the Player of the Match award for taking three wickets for 10 runs. 

During the post-match presentation, Parnell said: “I think credit goes to our batters. That last over really brought momentum to our side. We understood what was needed and to execute the way we did was really pleasing. All of our batters had the same message - take the pace of it and hit the stumps. To win by a big margin is also crucial for us. (On going around the wicket to Samson) It was a similar surface to back in Paarl. I was trying to bowl at the stumps and make the batters go across the line. It is a long tournament, niggles occur, it is about being switched on every single day.”
