Virat Kohli's reaction after RCB's heartbreaking exit from IPL 2023 sets internet on fire

Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore suffered yet ar defeat in IPL that broke millions of hearts t just in India, but globally. Gujarat Titans won by six wickets in a do-or-die clash for Bengaluru-based side on Sunday. Shubman Gill played masterful innings and scored a fine century to end RCB’s hopes of qualifying for IPL 2023 playoffs. Gill smashed an unbeaten 104 off 52 balls, including five fours and eight sixes, in order to win match for his team in a dominating manner.

Virat Kohli, who smashed a century of his own earlier in game, was seen getting disappointed as RCB was moving toward a loss. Kohli was sitting in RCB dugout when Shubman Gill was smashing ball all across park. After Gill hit winning runs on first legal delivery of final over, Kohli was apparently hiding his face with his cap. Some reports also suggest that Kohli threw his cap in anger but later picked it up.

RCB vs GT: Match 70

After Kohli scored a 61-ball 101 in Royal Challengers Bangalore’s 197 for five, it looked like finest effort of day. But Gill, who could be torchbearer of Indian batting for next ten years, showed that he is better than best.

What Kohli did well, Gill did better as his unbeaten 104 off 52 balls saw Gujarat Titans  chase down target with ease. Like former India captain Kohli, this was Gill’s second successive hundred.

Gill slammed eight sixes and five fours.

Titans thus finished league engments with 20 points, while CSK ended second with 17 points ahead of Luckw Super Giants, owning a better net run rate. Mumbai Indians, after ir eight-wicket win against SRH, were back in last four with 16 points.

With 34 needed off three overs, Gill’s short-arm half-jab, half-pull off Mohammed Siraj was killer blow. He n hit him for ar six to kill contest as Kohli kcked his head in disbelief into dugout.

RCB had ir fate in ir own hands, but poor execution while defending a healthy total became ir undoing.
