Despite Kohli’s dazzling century in RCB’s crucial last league stage match, they failed to secure victory as the Gujarat Titans, who led by Shubman Gill’s unbeaten ton, clinched a six-wicket win, effectively concluding RCB’s campaign.
“Time for VIRAT to make the move to the capital city…!” Pietersen tweeted.
Former India captain Kohli has been with the RCB since the inaugural edition of the league in 2008 and has led them for a major part of his stay in the franchise, relinquishing the role after the 2021 edition.
While RCB were eliminated here on Sunday, Gujarat topped the league with 20 points and will take on second-place Chennai Super Kings in the first playoff on Tuesday with the winner advancing directly to next Sunday’s final.
RCB’s loss meant Mumbai Indians sealed the final playoff spot, having beaten Sunrisers Hyderabad in the day’s first game.
Mumbai Indians will meet third-place Lucknow Super Giants in the second playoff game on Wednesday. The loser of the first playoff will get another chance for a place in the final when it takes on the winner of the second playoff on Friday.
