IPL 2023, GT Vs SRH: Shubman Gill Hundred Helps Gujarat Titans Ease Into Play-Offs - In Pics

Shubman Gill struck his maiden Indian Premier League century off 58 deliveries, helping Gujarat Titans secure a play-offs berth for a second year on the trot. After being put into bat first, the defending champions lost Wriddhiman Saha for a duck, but Gill partnered with the returning Sai Sudharsan, putting on a 147-run partnership for the second wicket. Gill had to wait for a while to reach his milestone, as he ran out of three batting partners. The opener, too, departed after scoring 101, as the Titans suffered setback after setback, ending the innings at 188-9. The run chase did not start well for the Sunrisers either, as they lost wickets at regular intervals. Heinrich Klaasen played the lone hand for SRH, scoring a 44-ball 66, as Mohammed Shami and Mohit Sharma ripped through the visitors' batting order with 4 wickets apiece. SRH were restricted to 154-9, losing by 34 runs. Gill's hundred was also the first for GT as a franchise, making him the first batter to score a hundred in Tests, ODIs, T20Is and IPL in the same year.
