RCB vs GT IPL 2023: Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) wait for an IPL title will have to wait for another year after Gujarat Titans (GT) ended their playoffs hope with a six-wicket win at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday.

Virat Kohli's hundred went in vain as Gujarat Titans (GT) opener Shubman Gill slammed an unbeaten hundred to help his team chased the 198-run target with five balls to spare. The 23-year-old right-hand batter, who brought up his maiden IPL hundred on Monday, scored 104 runs off 52 balls.

After being asked to bat first, RCB posted 197/5 courtesy a record-breaking seventh IPL hundred from Virat Kohli. The star batter scored 101 unbeaten runs off 61 balls and stitched a 67-run partnership off 42 balls with his opening partner Faf du Plessis (28 off 19).

Glenn Maxwell (11 off 5) and Mahipal Lomror (1 off 3) did not add much to the RCB total but Michael Bracewell scored 26 off 26 and added 47 off 29 with Kohli for the fourth wicket.

Dinesh Karthik departed for a golden duck before Anuj Rawat joined Kohli and forged a crucial 64-run partnership off 34 balls. Kohli scored 40 off 19 balls during the sixth-wicket stand with Rawat who remained unbeaten on 23 off 15.

RCB vs GT IPL 2023 Match 70: Who Said What

Faf du Plessis (RCB captain): Obviously very disappointing. We got a really strong team tonight; excellent innings by Shuman Gill. There was a lot of grip in the second innings. I thought 195-200 was a good score. We needed that wicket of Shubman.

From our batting perspective, our top four contributed really well... We missed a few runs consistently throughout the season, especially in the back-end of the innings. Perhaps in the middle [overs], we didn't get as many wickets as we would have liked.

We need a good middle order, and make sure we finish games off. Last season it was DK, but this season it wasn't to be.

Hardik Pandya (GT Captain): We wanted the momentum going, and wanted to finish on a high. As a bowler, Gill doesn't give you a chance. Other batters also get confidence from it. We would have taken 197 at the start. We should have bowled good balls.

Special innings from Virat as well. I can't ask for anything better. Last year, everything went our way. This year, we were expecting people to challenge us. A lot of credit goes to all the boys.

Shubman Gill (Man of the Match): It's all about getting a start and converting it into a big one. Thankfully it's working out for me in the business end. You have to keep applying yourself, that's important.

The new ball was holding on a bit. The ball was getting wet with the dew. I thought Vijay Shankar was trying to go too hard.

Once he found the momentum, he hit it a long way. I know my game... for any player it's important to know who you are. I think we have a great bowling attack for that [Chennai] wicket."


Vijay Shankar (GT batter): The way we chased was really satisfying. Personally I should have finished it. It wasn't that easy with the new ball I felt... that was the reason why we couldn't find many gaps along the ground.

But Shubman showed everyone how to bat on different wickets. [Him not bowling] I've been practising and bowling in the nets. With the current role, we already have six bowlers.

We have the firepower... any total can be chased. Chasing 200 here, we paced it pretty well. We've been playing good cricket, and we have bowlers among the top wicket-takers. It's just about taking game by game."
