RCB's IPL 2023 campaign comes to a crashing end despite Kohli's heroics

Royal Challengers Bangalore suffered a six-wicket loss to defending champs, the Gujarat Titans, in their last league game of IPL 2023. The loss resulted in them finishing sixth on the points table with 14 points with seven wins and seven defeats. The loss also meant Mumbai Indians would advance into the IPL 2023 playoffs ahead of RCB, as they stood at 15 points.

Meanwhile, a heartbroken Virat Kohli was seen displaying his disappointment with another failed IPL campaign after the game. He earlier registered his second consecutive century in IPL 2023 to lift RCB to a total of 198 runs. Kohli broke the record for the most centuries in IPL history, surpassing Chris Gayle's record of six centuries. He earlier achieved his sixth century in the previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. However, Titans' Shubman Gill played a spoilsport for RCB by scoring 104 runs in just 52 balls.
