Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant finally delivered what was expected of him right from the start of the season. The mercurial southpaw hammered a spectacular century that saw his team post an impressive 227-3.

However, his effort went in vain as Royal Challengers Bengaluru, requiring a win to make the Top-2, attained the target with six wickets and eight balls to spare, thanks to a superb half-century by Virat Kohli, followed by a brilliant  century partnership between stand-in skipper Jitesh Sharma and Mayank Agarwal that helped RCB snatch a win from the jaws of defeat in a dramatic manner.
