Lucknow Super Giants managed to beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by one wicket in Match 15 of the Indian Premier League season 16 on Monday, April 10 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. After being put in to bat first, RCB posted a massive score of 212/2 in their allotted 20 overs. However, they failed to defend the mammoth total as LSG won the thrilling encounter on the last ball of the match.
Following the nail-biting finish between the two teams, a Tweet by the legendary Sachin Tendulkar has been going viral all over social media where he predicted that LSG might chase down the target in the second innings. The fans have been left awestruck by the accuracy of the Master Blaster’s prophecy and are hailing him.
Midway through RCB’s innings, the legendary cricketer praised Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis for their opening stand, however, he also mentioned the fact that even a total of 210 may not be a safe score considering the good batting surface at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Tendulkar took to Twitter and wrote, “The opening partnership by Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis has given the perfect launchpad for Glenn Maxwell and company to set a big total. But on this surface and ground, I have a feeling even 210 may not be safe.”

There was more drama to follow as LSG’s tail made tough work of an easy equation, however, they eventually reached home on the final ball of the match and registered a thrilling victory.
