Take a deep breath and settle down with your popcorn because IPL 2025, Match 70, provided us with a blockbuster twist that ranks well for a season finale. Cricket fans are still wrapping their head around what they saw. In their chase of an enormous 228 against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), not only did they win the match, but they also rewrote history. And as was to be expected in a classic IPL fashion, they did this with elegance and drama laced with loads of new records. Let’s check out five of the major records achieved in what is sure to be a razzle-dazzle classic.
RCB’s Highest-Ever Run Chase – And They Made It Look Easy
What a high-octane heist! RCB has just chased down a monumental 228 – their largest successful run chase in IPL history – and they did it with startling ease. On a pitch that did not appear overly conducive to batting, they turned the heat up, with Jitesh Sharma blasting his way to a blistering 85 off 33 balls, while Mayank Agarwal played the consummate role of a sidekick with a classy 41. They completed the chase with a relaxed eight balls to play, like they had a dinner reservation to make. Just as a comparison, their previous best chase in IPL was 204 in 2010. This? It was a total demolition job that just thrilled confidence, class, and perhaps a little bit of RCB means business this year!
Virat Kohli: 9000 Reasons Why He’s a T20 GOAT
You don’t measure Kohli’s value to RCB in runs—you measure it in belief, passion, and broken opposition dreams. And in this match, he provided the fans with yet another reason to lose their voices in support. Nine thousand runs, one jersey, countless memories—Kohli didn’t just make history; he became it. Try and think about that, nine thousand! The next player on the list is Rohit Sharma, and he is over 3000 runs behind him for MI. For RCB faithful, his runs are not running, they are emotions on a screen.
Marsh Makes History for LSG, Despite the Heartbreak
It’s often easy for fans to gloss over that Mitchell Marsh had his record-breaking evening. His 67 from 37 wasn’t just fireworks – it was the performance that made him LSG’s leading run-scorer in a season of 627 runs, overtaking KL Rahul’s 2022 record of 616. Oh, and he also made his seventh score of 50+ this season, which is another record for LSG. While LSG didn’t get the result they needed, Marsh’s ability and consistency were among the standout performers in their campaign, and he has written his name into the record books.
Kohli’s 600+ Run Seasons: A Streak of Greatness Like No Other
Another milestone for Kohli? Absolutely. By notching that fifty, Kohli now becomes the first player in IPL history to score 600-plus runs in a season five times. In addition to that, he has done this three years in a row (2023,2024,2025). That is more than great form — that is legacy. The next closest player, KL Rahul, has four and is not even in the running for three in a row. Kohli isn’t just scoring runs — he is the benchmark yearly.
Pant’s Century and LSG’s Highest-Ever Home Score
Okay, we can’t talk about records without mentioning Rishabh Pant, who made an amazing unbeaten 118 from 61 balls. This knock brought LSG’s total to 227/3, an all-time highest score at home. Pant batted like he had a statement to make; he pulled, drove, and scooped RCB’s bowlers into the hedges with madness. It probably deserves being on the winning side – cricket is so cruel – but whatever, Pant’s ton alone will now be remembered as one of the most brazen innings of the year.
