IPL 2023: Shubhman Gill' brilliant ton helps Gujarat Titans knock Royal Challengers Bangalore out, Virat Kohli's ton goes in vain

New Delhi : Mumbai Indians have become the fourth team to reach in Indian Premier League playoffs as Gujarat Titans knocked Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final league games. Two brilliant hundreds were seen in the game, one by Virat Kohli and another by Shubman Gill.

Shubman Gill scored an incredible knock of 104 runs in 52 balls that turned out to be the game winning knock for Gujarat Titans. Virat Kohli scored 101 runs in 61 balls to ensure a competitive total for his side.

Virat Kohli started the RCB innings off well by stitching the opening partnership of 50 runs with skipper Faf du Plessis.

With RCB getting knocked out of the tournament, Rohit Sharma's Mumbai Indians has become the last team to qualify for the playoffs.
