Gill is eyeing the top spot in the Orange Cap standings at the IPL 2023 playoffs. Shami and Rashid are leading the Purple Cap race.

Defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) secured the top spot in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 standings with a famous win over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Sunday. Shubman Gill's sublime century overshadowed Virat Kohli's record-breaking ton as Hardik Pandya and Co. outclassed Faf du Plessis' men in match No.70 of the IPL 2023 at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium. RCB's final home game was also the last encounter of the league stage as the IPL 2023 is heading towards its business end.

Batting first in their last home game of the season, RCB posted a challenging total of 197-5 in 20 overs. Former RCB skipper Kohli slammed a brilliant century to break Chris Gayle's record in the IPL. Kohli's 101* off 61 balls helped RCB in setting a 198-run target at Bengaluru. Leading GT's charge with the bat, Gill played a blinder of a knock as the India opener slammed his second century of IPL 2023. Gill's 104* off 52 balls sealed GT's win in 19.1 overs. With the win, GT dumped RCB out of IPL 2023.
