RCB’s last IPL 2023 game brought out the same issues that have been plaguing the team since the inception of the franchise. The Bangalore team continues to score 200 runs on a 220 pitch and feel good about their batting while the opposite team continues to chase that down without breaking a sweat. RCB team continue to blame their bowling for their loss. Rinse and repeat!

Against GT, they scored 197/5 in the first inning with an ordinary century (101 off 61 balls) from Virat Kohli. Kohli said that it now falls on the shoulders of the bowlers to defend this decent total. Reality however ran its course and Shubman Gill showed Virat Kohli and millions of cricket watchers a proper T20 knock wherein he made an unbeaten 104 of 52 to win the match for GT by 6 wickets and throw RCB out of the tournament.
