Royal Challengers Bengaluru sauntered to its fourth victory in five matches this IPL season, beating Lucknow Super Giants by five wickets at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Wednesday.

Chasing a modest 147, RCB got home with nearly five overs to spare to go top of the table. Virat Kohli, who came in as an Impact Player, scored the most (49, 34b, 6×4, 1×6), but it was captain Rajat Patidar’s two breath-taking sixes off Mohammed Shami – over long-on and above fine-leg – that will remain long in memory.
