The amazing drama was witnessed in IPL 2023 on Sunday. Two virtual knockout matches were played in the league round yesterday. Both Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore needed a win to qualify for the playoffs. However, this did not happen. Mumbai beat Sunrisers Hyderabad to make it to the playoffs, but Gujarat Titans were knocked out of the tournament by defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Shubman Gill's century overshadowed Virat Kohli's century. However, some fans of RCB could not digest this defeat. After this, RCB fans used abusive words for Shubman and his sister on social media. Especially fans are commenting fiercely on Shubman's sister Shahneel Gill's Instagram post.
Shahneel shared the picture of the Gujarat vs Lucknow match on Instagram a long time ago. In its caption, he wrote – what a wonderful day it was. Many fans wrote abusive comments for both Shahneel and Shubman on this post. At the same time, some people also appealed not to do so. Seeing lewd comments for Shubman and his sister, many fans took to Twitter and slammed the abusers.
While some fans were not happy to see Shubman end RCB's campaign in the 16th edition of the T20 league, there was no animosity between Shubman and Kohli over the result. In fact, after the match, Kohli hugged Shubman and patted him on the back with a smile, and congratulated him for his fine innings.
Talking about the match, Gujarat Titans, who defeated Chennai in the first match of IPL 2023, defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by six wickets in the last league match. Batting first, RCB scored 197 runs losing five wickets. In response, Gujarat scored 198 runs in 19.1 overs losing four wickets, and won the match. Virat Kohli scored an unbeaten 101 for Bangalore. At the same time, Shubman Gill scored an unbeaten 104 for Gujarat.
