Jitesh Sharma Was Not Out Even If Rishabh Pant Hadn't Withdrawn Appeal. Here's Why
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) came close to losing their talismanic wicket-keeper batter during the gigantic run-chase of 228 runs against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match on Tuesday. It was the final ball of the 17th over of the match when LSG's Digvesh Rathi attempted to run out the RCB star at the non-striker's end. However, Lucknow captain Rishabh Pant decided to withdraw the appeal while the third umpire was running through the replays on the big screen. Jitesh hugged Pant as the latter withdrew the appeal, helping the RCB star remain on the crease. However, had Pant not done so, the rules of the game would've kept Jitesh on the field. Though there's no denying that the RCB wicket-keeper batter was outside the non-striker's crease when Rathi dislodged the bails, the LSG spinner did commit a mistake which would've ruled his run-out attempt null and void. As per the laws of the game, a bowler isn't allowed to attempt a non-striker's run-out after he has completed the bowling action or has already stepped outside the popping crease. Since these pre-requisites weren't fulfilled, the third umpire would've eventually ruled Jitesh not-out. This Digvesh Rathi not only issues challans... but is also a fraud... "Digvesh Rathi" #RCBvsLSG" Jitesh Sharma" "Digvesh Rathi" #RCBvsLSG"Rishabh Pant" Render Digvesh "Jitesh Sharma" "And Putin" #IPL25 @StarSportsIndia — Sahil Khanna (@SahilKh83593460) May 27, 2025 MCC Laws Explained: 38.3.1 At any time from the moment the ball comes into play until the instant when the bowler would normally have been expected to release the ball, the non-striker is liable to be run out if he/she is out of his/her ground. In these circumstances the non-striker will be out run out if he/she is out of his/her ground when his/her wicket is put down by the bowler throwing the ball at the stumps or by the bowler's hand holding the ball, whether or not the ball is subsequently delivered. 38.3.1.1 The instant when the bowler would normally have been expected to release the ball is defined as the moment the bowler's arm reaches the highest point of his/her normal bowling action in the delivery swing. 38.3.1.2 Even if the non-striker had left his/her ground before the instant at which the bowler would normally have been expected to release the ball, once the bowler has reached that point it is no longer possible for the bowler to run out the non-striker under this Law. Nevertheless, what Rishabh Pant did despite knowing the importance of Jitesh's wicket is worthy of an applause. In the end, Jitesh turned into RCB's match-winner, clinching the game for his side with 8 balls to spare.

'RCB's worst buy ever:' Fans furious as Liam Livingstone departs for golden duck; call him 'maha fraud'
It was a must-win game, and fans were already skeptical about Liam Livingstone being included in the playing XI. With Tim David ruled out due to injury, Livingstone was brought in by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for the crucial clash against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)—a move critics were quick to question. Unfortunately for RCB, Livingstone seemed to prove them right. He wasn't given a chance to bowl and came in to bat at No. 4, only to be dismissed for a golden duck. RCB had just lost captain Rajat Patidar for 14 off 7, and Livingstone followed him back to the pavilion just as quickly. Liam Livingstone's dismissal Livingstone, known for his early shuffle across the crease, stuck to his usual approach. This time, it cost him dearly—a full delivery angled into middle and leg slipped past his flick attempt, thudded into his pads, and crashed into the stumps. After a brief exchange with Kohli, he walked off without hesitation. It was plumb—no review needed. William O'Rourke, who claimed the wicket, couldn't hide his grin as he lined up for a potential hat-trick in his next over. Fans are furious Many took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to express their anger over how the all-rounder, who got a chance to prove himself, departed for a duck in such an important game. One said, "We don't need you Livingstone." We don't need you Livingstone Another said, "Livingstone is pathetic beyond that may be, and Rajat nothing to say to you. Salt bro have some patience when you play the eliminator to MI." Livingstone is pathetic beyond that may be, and Rajat nothing to say to you. Salt bro have some patience when you play the eliminator to MI. One wrote, "Livingstone se bada fraud player koi nahi." (Translation: He is the biggest fraud) Livingstone se bada fraud player koi nahi🤪 Another wrote, "I thought Livingstone was a fraud. Didn't know he was a maha fraud." I thought Livingstone was a know he was a maha fraud. One added, "Liam Livingstone is the worst buy ever by RCB." Liam Livingstone is the worst buy ever by RCB.#RCBvsLSG RCB vs LSG: Teams Royal Challengers Bengaluru (Playing XI): Philip Salt, Virat Kohli, Mayank Agarawal, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma(w/c), Romario Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yash Dayal, Nuwan Thushara, Suyash SharmaImpact Subs: Rajat Patidar, Rasikh Salam, Manoj Bhandage, Tim Seifert, Swapnil Singh Lucknow Super Giants (Playing XI): Mitchell Marsh, Matthew Breetzke, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Ayush Badoni, Abdul Samad, Himmat Singh, Shahbaz Ahmed, Digvesh Singh Rathi, Avesh Khan, William ORourkeImpact Subs: Akash Maharaj Singh, Prince Yadav, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshin Kulkarni, Yuvraj Chaudhary

WATCH: LSG captain Rishabh Pant scores his first century in IPL 2025, celebration goes viral
WATCH: LSG captain Rishabh Pant scores his first century in IPL 2025, celebration goes viral New Delhi: Rishabh Pant's performance in IPL 2025 has not been anything special so far, but he is a class player. He showed signs of returning to form by playing a short but effective innings in the last match against Gujarat Titans. That innings must have given him confidence, and now the wicketkeeper-batsman has proved his strength by scoring a brilliant century in 54 balls against the in-form RCB. Captain Pant came at number 3 before Nicholas Pooran LSG captain Rishabh Pant came to bat at number 3, while Nicholas Pooran usually bats at this position. This decision may not have been successful in the last match, but this time Pant started with tremendous intent. He hit a trademark six in the very first over and then maintained the run rate of LSG by hitting two fours in the same over. The pressure of the early wicket did not overwhelm him at all. You go, boy Rishabh Pant @RishabhPant17 #RCBvsLSG VC: @JioHotstar — Abhishek (@abhipsyc) May 27, 2025 A must-win game for RCB to confirm a top-two spot, but they ended up conceding a massive 227 after choosing to bowl first. Making his season debut, Nuwan Thushara impressed with early swing and sharp pace, dismissing Breetzke for 14. In a surprising move, LSG promoted the struggling Rishabh Pant ahead of Pooran—and this time, it paid off. Pant turned the tide by smashing 18 runs off a Yash Dayal over, sparking what turned into his finest knock of the season. While Mitchell Marsh took time to settle, Pant took charge, reaching his fifty in just 29 balls as LSG surged to 100/1 by the 10th over.
