Although Kohli never finished bowling, the light-hearted moment quickly went viral among fans.Watch:RCB took full advantage of Gujarat Titans’ sloppy fielding performance to post a mammoth 254/5 – the highest total recorded in IPL playoff history. Captain Rajat Patidar led the charge with a stunning unbeaten 93 off just 39 balls as GT struggled badly in the field with missed catches, misfields and costly no-balls.Gujarat captain Shubman Gill admitted that his team did not handle the pressure moments properly despite staying in the match for much of the chase.“I think we were going pretty well until the 12th or 13th over. I don’t think our fielding was up to par. We dropped a couple of catches and our fielding on the ground wasn’t up to par either,” Gill said after the match.Chasing 255, Gujarat Titans were bowled out for 162 as RCB booked their place in their second consecutive IPL final. Gill called it a game his side would rather quickly forget before the next challenge.“This is one of those games that we would like to forget and start again in Mohali,” he said.
