Royal Challengers Bangalore’s fortunes were bright. Virat Kohli was giving looks at his 2016 structure. RCB’s hopes of qualifying for the playoffs for the fourth time in a row were high and bright after two centuries in four days. Ultimately, the fates didn’t arrange in perfect order.

Once more Kohli was denied. What’s more, the player, to stop his expectations in IPL 2023 was the one accepted to be his likely successor, Shubman Gill. In the final league game of the season, Gujarat Titans defeated RCB by six wickets to prevent a fan-favorite rematch between Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants in the Eliminator. Like his “idol,” he scored a second consecutive century. LSG later attacked Kohli with a Gill reference.

The two IPL 2023 games between RCB and LSG, one in April and one on May 1, are probably still the most talked-about

Also, doubtlessly none of it relates to cricket. After winning the first match, Gambhir burst into a wild celebration before shoving the Chinnaswamy crowd. Kohli gave back in the Lucknow release of the contention prior to taking part in a heated disagreement with Naveen-ul-Haq and afterward Gambhir.

As a result, fans and even some seasoned cricketers wanted to see RCB and LSG compete against each other in the playoffs. After defeating Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday, Lucknow contributed by reaching the playoffs for the second consecutive year. In any case, RCB flopped in their bid. They fell to GT and finished sixth in the table.

Following the win, LSG took a dig at Kohli using the name that fans beloved hail him as – ‘King’. With Gill being Kohli’s heir-apparent, he is referred to as ‘Prince’. But Lucknow instead hailed Gill as the ‘King’. Posting a picture of the GT opener, they wrote, “Prince? He’s already a King (used emoticon of crown).”

Twitter fans were not very pleased at the move:

Prince?
