The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have set the IPL 2025 on fire and etched their name in the tournament’s history with a sensational feat after thrashing Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the last league match at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Tuesday, May 27.
After crushing Lucknow Super Giants by six wickets to qualify for Qualifier 1 of the IPL 2025, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru became the first-ever team to win all away games in a single season.
No team has ever managed to dominate the away turf like this in IPL history, and now Royal Challengers Bengaluru stands tall as road warriors with an unbeaten away streak this season.
RCB make IPL history with a perfect away streak
In their final league clash, the men in red and gold registered a dominant victory over the LSG, thanks to a fearless match-winning knock of an unbeaten 85 runs off just 33 balls from the stand-in captain Jitesh Sharma. It was RCB’s seventh away victory in the IPL 2025, winning all their away games.
After achieving a 100% away record this season, Royal Challengers Bengaluru became the first team in IPL history to win all seven away matches in a single season.
Previously, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Mumbai Indians (MI) had won seven away games in 2012, but they couldn’t keep a perfect streak in that season. RCB has so far had a flawless run across India as they chase their maiden IPL title.
