IPL 2023 week 8 review: Kohli, Gill set records; heartbreak for RCB


Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill set new records with back-to-back hundreds as curtains came down on the league phase of IPL 2023 on Sunday (May 21). Gujarat Titans (GT), Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), and Mumbai Indians (MI) qualified for the playoffs while Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Kohli’s wait for an IPL title continued.

IPL 2023 enters the final week and looking back there were many moments of ecstasy and disappointments. Six teams have exited but this season’s league stage was one of the close-fought ones. New heroes like Rinku Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Cameron Green emerged while the established players once again showed their class.
