Virat Kohli, Harshal Patel's 'Milestone Moments' Overshadowed By RCB's Loss To LSG

The Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Lucknow Super Giants match went down the wire, with KL Rahul's side securing a 1-wicket win on the last ball, that too because of a bye. The match saw some stunning batting performances from both teams, with RCB stalwart Virat Kohli also scoring a half-century. Harshal Patel, given the task of defending 5 runs in the final over, almost pulled it off before in a drama-filled final over. Though the match ended in LSG's favour, both Kohli and Harshal did have some personal milestones to celebrate in the end.
