In the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) match number 73, which was Qualifier 2 between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Rajasthan Royals (RR), GT captain Shubman Gill scored his 5th IPL century overall and 1st of this season in the most important game. He did so again in the run chase in the knockout games of the tournament.
While chasing the target of 215 runs, the GT captain stepped up for the team. Shubman Gill completed his century in 47 balls and while chasing the target, he looked in good form from the beginning. But he was dismissed by Jofra Archer on the score of 104 runs off 53 balls; However, he helped his team secure a win-win situation in the game, with 33 runs required off 30 balls.
Shubman Gill took a big step in the knockout game
Shubman Gill, who started the run chase well and did not give a single chance in the match, scored a brilliant century while batting on 96 by hitting a four off his teammate Ravindra Jadeja. He has been in great form this season, scoring 722 runs at an average of over 48.
The GT captain has a strike rate of 163.71 and he silenced his critics who talked about his strike rate last season. This season he has scored 7 half-centuries and one century tonight. This is his second century in a run chase in an IPL knockout game; Earlier, he had done this against Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2 in 2023.
Shubman Gill broke records!
Gill holds the record for the highest individual score in IPL playoff history with a blistering 129 runs off 60 balls against Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2 of the 2023 season and is the only player to score two centuries in the playoffs of the Rich Cash League.
Team India captain now has the fastest century by a GT batsman; The captain surpassed his 49-ball effort against MI in the 2023 Qualifier 2 in Ahmedabad. He will look to continue his form in the next game in the final against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Sunday.
Talking about the match, RR scored 214/6, in which Vaibhav Suryavanshi played another brilliant inning of 96 runs, Ravindra Jadeja scored 45 runs and Donovan Ferreira, playing with an injury, scored 38 runs in 11 balls.
