GT vs SRH: Gujarat Titans opener Shubman Gill slammed his maiden IPL hundred in GT's match against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. GT were asked to bat first on a decent batting track in Ahmedabad. Gujarat are the table topper in the tournament, while Hyderabad are in 9th place in the tally.
Shubman Gill displayed his marvellous timing in the match. He displayed brilliant drives and slammed a 56-ball hundred. Before this game, Gill's highest score was 96 which he made against Punjab Kings in IPL 2022. He ended his innings on 101 from 58 balls and smoked 13 fours and 1 six.
While the wickets kept falling, Gill held one end up very well in GT's batting. He found a good partner in Sai Sudharsan, who returned into the Playing XI after a gap. The duo stitched a 146-run stand for the 3rd wicket and helped set a platform from where Gujarat could have scored big.
GT scored 188/7 in 20 overs. Their batting also had only two shining stars in the form of Gill and Sai Sudharsan. Gill hit 101 off 58 balls and Sai scored 47 off 36. No other GT batter crossed the single digit mark. Bhuvneshwar scalped 5 wickets for SRH. Gill got out in the 20th over of Bhuvneshwar.
