Glorious Gill eclipses Kohli to knock Royal Challengers Bangalore out
Even a Virat Kohli one-man show wasn’t enough, as the Royal Challengers Bangalore crashed out of IPL 2023 with a home loss to the Gujarat Titans on Sunday (May 22). T
he match was delayed due to persistent rain and even a hailstorm in Bangalore, but after a minor delay, RCB just needed to win to go ahead of Mumbai Indians, given that they had a higher net run-rate. They lost the toss and were asked to bat, and courtesy a record seventh IPL hundred from Virat Kohli, scored 197-5. However, that wasn’t enough, as Shubman Gill went on to take Gujarat home in the final over, knocking RCB out.
