Royal Challengers Bangalore were eliminated from the Indian Premier League 2023 after a defeat against the defending champions Gujarat Titans. Even Virat Kohli’s 7th IPL century could not save RCB from losing as Shubman Gill also collected a hundred. His ton helped Gujarat Titans seal a 6-wicket victory over RCB. Just after RCB’s elimination, Lucknow Super Giants speedster Naveen-ul-Haq posted an Instagram story that made Kohli fans angry.
Naveen and Kohli were involved in a verbal banter on May 1 after the RCB vs LSG game ended. Most of the fans thought that Naveen tried to mock Kohli by putting this Instagram story as RCB could not make it to the playoffs while LSG qualified.
Talking about the game, Shubman Gill smashed an unbeaten 104 to overshadow Virat Kohli’s century as Gujarat Titans knocked Royal Challengers Bangalore out of the IPL on Sunday.
After the outcome, five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians moved to the fourth spot in the points table and sealed a spot for the playoffs after they also outplayed Sunrisers Hyderabad by eight wickets in the first match of the day. Gill’s century was the third hundred of the day after Mumbai Indians Cameron Green’s 100, followed by Virat Kohli’s 101 for Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Virat smashed his second consecutive century and overall seventh one in the IPL and surpassed Chris Gayle’s record of six and powered RCB to 197 after a late start to the game due to rain in Bengaluru.
