An already-qualified Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will have to wait for another season to churn out revenge on Royal Challengers Bangalore as the latter has failed to set up a mouth-watering meeting with LSG at the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 playoffs. Faf Du Plessis and his men were outplayed by visitors Gujarat Titans (GT) in their final league fixture of the IPL 2023 on Sunday.
RCB received another unceremonious exit from IPL as Shubman Gill slammed a fiery century to seal a memorable win over the hosts at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. With RCB suffering a heartbreaking exit from the ongoing tournament, record-time winners Mumbai Indians (MI) punched their tickets for the business end of the celebrated tournament by securing the fourth spot in the final league standings.

Reflecting on Kohli’s heated rivalry with Lucknow mentor Gautam Gambhir, the official social media handle of the LSG franchise posted a noteworthy message for the Bengaluru heavyweights. “Give it? Take it? Let’s leave it. Well fought, @RCBTweets. See you next season,” LSG tweeted after GT defeated RCB by 6 wickets in the final league match of the season.

“That’s a sweet win boys. A sweet win. Let’s go. If you can give it, you got to take it. Otherwise don’t give it,” how Virat Kohli opted to hit back at LSG stars after the ex-RCB skipper’s post-match altercations with Gambhir, Naveen-ul-Haq, and Kyle Mayers created a ruckus in Indian cricket. Kohli and Gambhir were fined 100 percent of their match fees for breaching the IPL code of conduct.
