NEW DELHI: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) missed the chance to go to the top of the points table after losing by nine runs to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Thursday night.One of the key moments in the chase of 213 was the dismissal of Virat Kohli for a two-ball duck. Although Rajat Patidar and Tim David tried to bring RCB back into the game, their efforts were not enough to take the team to victory.Even after the defeat, RCB stayed in the top four. However, they still need better performances in their remaining four matches.After the game, Kohli spoke to the team in the dressing room and asked the players to stay positive and enjoy the rest of the season.Why did we get those six wins? Because we were enjoying, and we were only worried about our standards, and were not even looking at the opposition," Kohli said in the video shared by RCB on X. RCBTweets (@RCBTweets) And I want to see absolute enjoyment and excitement to get back in the park, regardless of what the jersey colour on the other side is," he added.LSG bowlers, led by Prince Yadav, who picked up 3/33, stopped RCB at 203/6.Mohammed Shami gave LSG an early breakthrough in the first over before Prince bowled Kohli with a delivery that left RCB at 9/2.RCB then fought back through a 95-run partnership between Devdutt Padikkal, who scored 34, and captain Patidar, who made 61. Patidar attacked the bowlers and briefly shifted the momentum towards RCB.Late contributions from Tim David, Krunal Pandya, who remained unbeaten on 28, and Romario Shepherd, who stayed unbeaten on 23, kept RCB in the match.But Digvesh Rathi defended 20 runs in the last over to help LSG seal the win.

Argentina defender Nicolas Otamendi and Ecuador midfielder Moises Caicedo will not have to serve one-game bans at the World Cup despite being sent off in their last qualifying games. The unprecedented decisions on Friday are part of an amnesty of all but the most severe disciplinary sanctions stemming from World Cup qualifiers instigated by the FIFA Bureau a panel consisting of FIFA President Gianni Infantino and the presidents of the six continental soccer bodies. "Single yellow cards and pending one- or two-match suspensions . . . are not carried over to the final competition," FIFA said in a statement, adding it wanted to ensure teams "can compete with their strongest possible squads on the biggest stage of mens international football." It follows a previous unprecedented FIFA disciplinary ruling that ensured Cristiano Ronaldo will not miss any World Cup games despite a red card for using his elbow to strike an Ireland opponent in Portugal's second-to-last qualifier in November. The remaining two games of Ronaldo's three-game ban were deferred for a one-year probation period. Otamendi and Caicedo both were shown red cards in Ecuador's 1-0 win over Argentina in September. Otamendi got a direct red card for fouling an attacker running clear on goal and Caicedo got a second yellow card for a hard tackle. Their mandatory one-game bans should now be served in another competition after the World Cup. Argentina opens the defense of its World Cup title against Algeria on June 16 in Kansas City. If selected, the 38-year-old Otamendi likely will be playing at his fourth and last World Cup. The Benfica center back also went to the tournaments in 2010, 2018 and 2022 when he played every minute of all seven Argentina games in Qatar. Ecuador starts against Ivory Coast on June 14 in Philadelphia. The 24-year-old Chelsea midfielder Caicedo also played in Qatar four years ago. The FIFA decision on Friday also benefits Qatar defender Tarek Salman, who was sent off against United Arab Emirates in October. FIFA disciplinary judges imposed a two-game ban. The 28-year-old Salman, who was on the host nation's squad in 2022, was cleared to open Qatar's World Cup campaign against Switzerland on June 13 at the San Francisco 49ers' stadium.
