Situated in Lucknow, the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium has quickly gained prominence since it became a home to IPL franchise, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Indian Premier League 2022. Known for its slow surface, larger boundaries, and assistance to spinners, the ground has produced several low-scoring thrillers.
Unlike batting-friendly venues, this ground often demands patience and adaptability, making totals around 130–150 also competitive. The lowest total defended at this venue is when Royal Challengers Bengaluru successfully defended 126/9 against LSG in IPL 2023.
RCB defend 126 vs LSG
Speaking of the match, Faf du Plessis-led RCB won the toss and elected to bat first. The Bengaluru-based side kick-started the innings on a positive note with the skipper and Virat Kohli stitching a 62-run stand for the opening wicket. Apart from the duo, none of the batters could really get a good score and RCB were restricted to 126/9 in their allotted 20 overs.
In reply, the home team too were seen struggling as wickets kept falling at key intervals. Eventually, the KL Rahul-led LSG were bundled out at the score of 108 in 19.5 overs, resulting in RCB successfully defending the low total and registering an 18-run win. This continues to be the lowest total defended at this ground overall, including the IPL.
