Since their net run rate will ultimately determine their standing in the league, RCB and MI will need to lose their final league game of the season while winning by a huge margin. In that regard, Rajasthan will play Punjab in their last game of the season, giving either team a chance to finish among the top four, while KKR will face Lucknow Super Giants, who are vying for a spot among the top two. But LSG will be forced to withdraw from the competition if RCB and MI both win their respective games and they lose.

A previously heated altercation between Kohli and his former India colleague Gautam after Bangalore's away encounter against Lucknow had revived their ten-year-old IPL rivalry. During the league stage of the IPL 2023, Kohli's on-field altercations with LSG coach Gambhir and Lucknow players Naveen and Kyle Mayers caused a stir in Indian cricket. Following the nasty dispute between the star players, Naveen agreed to the Level 1 offence under Article 2.21 of the IPL Code of Conduct. Kohli and Gambhir received 100% of their match money as fines.

Speaking about the thrilling match between RCB and LSG, Kohli finally scored an IPL century at Hyderabad, ending a four-year drought. The 34-year-old King Kohli had two consecutive golden ducks against SRH in the IPL 2022. In the IPL 2023 match against SRH, Kohli made a triumphant comeback and scored the game-winning century to secure Bangalore's exciting victory over the team from Deccan.
