Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday. Bengaluru first restricted LSG to 146 before knocking off the target with ease in 15.1 overs, moving back to the summit of the standings. The skipper\u2019s post-match focus was squarely on how the team executed its plans with pace and discipline.<\/p>\n<h3>Quick facts<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Match: IPL 2026, Match 23<\/li>\n<li>Teams: Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Lucknow Super Giants<\/li>\n<li>Venue: M. Chinnaswamy Stadium<\/li>\n<li>Result: RCB won by five wickets<\/li>\n<li>LSG score: 146 (restricted by RCB)<\/li>\n<li>RCB chase: 15.1 overs<\/li>\n<li>Points update: RCB reach the top with 8 points in five matches<\/li>\n<li>Next game: RCB vs Delhi Capitals at the same venue on Saturday<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Speaking after the match presentation, Patidar said the toss played a part in how the bowling unit set the tone. He praised the way the fast bowlers kept hitting the pitch, while also highlighting the bravery and intent of Krunal Pandya, whom he described as a courageous option. Patidar also singled out Suyash\u2019s stump-to-stump bowling, calling it \u201ctremendous\u201d and something fans could clearly enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Patidar further underlined the advantage of experienced bowling personnel in T20 cricket. He pointed to the impact of having specialist bowlers who understand their roles, making captaincy decisions simpler rather than constantly needing instructions. In his view, the shared ideas and the senior bowlers\u2019 experience are also helping the rest of the attack grow.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the bowler\u2019s craft, the skipper credited the team\u2019s fielding improvements, which have been a continuing theme across the tournament. He noted that Bengaluru had worked on raising fielding intensity from the start of the IPL, and said that effort has shown up in key moments. Patidar also referenced Phil Salt\u2019s catching ability, describing his one-handed, flying take as a standout contribution in the match.<\/p>\n<h3>Title talk stays grounded<\/h3>\n<p>While the win returned RCB to the top of the points table, Patidar kept the tone cautious when it came to title ambitions. He stressed that there is still a long way to go and that the team\u2019s focus remains on handling each fixture as it comes. For now, he said they are simply taking the tournament one game at a time.<\/p>\n<p>With the five-wicket win, RCB are back at the top of the table on 8 points from five games. They will next take on Delhi Capitals at the same venue on Saturday, looking to build momentum after a clinical all-round performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rajat
