WATCH: MI players break into celebration after qualifying for playoffs as GT beat RCB in last league match of IPL 2023

Shubman Gill’s magnificent six off Wayne Parnell on the first ball of the 20^th over ended up RCB’s campaign in the current season of the Indian Premier League 2023. With that loss, RCB got eliminated from the 16^th edition of the tournament. Apart from that, these six smashed by Gill brought a lot of joy in another camp and that was the camp of Mumbai Indians.

As GT won by six wickets against RCB, it also cleared the way for Mumbai Indians’ qualification to the playoffs of this season. Earlier in the day, Mumbai Indians kept their hopes alive in the contention after defeating the Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last league match of the season.

Later on, the video showing the celebration of MI players after Shubman Gill’s six and Gujarat’s six-wicket win over RCB is also making rounds on social media with minutes of being shared by a Twitter user.
