Dinesh Karthik and Virat Kohli were the other top run-getters for the Bangalore-based franchise, scoring 37 and 25 respectively. Lucknow made a valiant effort to chase down the target, but fell 14 runs short. Skipper KL Rahul was the top scorer for his side, with 79 off 58. The side was unable to gain any momentum throughout their innings, thanks to some superb bowling by Bangalore’s Harshal Patel and Josh Hazlewood. With this victory, RCB has broken its “Eliminator jinx.” While the team had qualified for the playoffs in the last two seasons as well, it had failed to make its way past the Eliminator. Royal Challengers Bangalore will now square-off against Rajasthan Royals in the second IPL 2022 Qualifier. The winner of the upcoming fixture will clash with Gujarat Titans in the tournament final.
