      18.4: Ayush Badoni to Jitesh Sharma, SIX! JITESH SHARMA HAS DONE IT IN STYLE! Incredible scenes here at Ekana as Royal Challengers Bengaluru pull off an absolute heist! This is their highest successful run chase in IPL history, and also the third highest successful chase in this tournament now! Ayush Badoni serves this straight into the wheelhouse, around the middle and leg stump. Jitesh Sharma reads the length perfectly and sits down on a knee to sweep it powerfully behind deep square leg for a massive six. RCB win by 6 wickets, and 8 balls to spare. RCB has also become the only team to have won all their away games. They maintain a clean slate on the road, winning seven out of seven, and the only team in the IPL to do so! The celebrations begin in the RCB dugout!
