Virat Kohli, carrying his momentum from the last match, started hitting boundaries from the first over of the innings. Faf, on the other end, started hitting his shots, and the duo was going well and made 62 runs in the powerplay, but in the 8th over of the innings, Faf Du Plessis got dismissed by Noor Ahmed.
Glenn Maxwell came to the crease, and in the second ball he faced, he hit six. He looked promising, but in the next over, Rashid Khan got rid of him with a googly. RCB was 80-2 in the 9th over. Mahipal Lomror came to bat and again failed to score some effective runs for his team; he got out in the next over.
Virat Kohli was now joined by Micahel Bracewell, and the left-handed batsman added some runs to the team’s total, but when he was playing at 26, he lofted the ball in the air and got caught and bowled. The little cameo by Bracewell was over; Dinesh Karthik followed him and got out on a duck in the next over; Virat Kohli was the lone batter fighting at the crease. The young lad, Anuj Rawat, joined him and managed to rotate the strike to give more balls to Virat.
Virat Kohli continued his game, and in the 20th over of the innings, he scored his century in 60 balls. RCB put a total of 197 runs on the scoreboard.

RCB vs GT highlights IPL 2023: Post-Match statements
Faf Du Plessis (Losing 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 (Winning 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 (Player 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.
