Gujarat Titans are taking on Mumbai Indians in the crucial encounter of the Indian Premier League at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. Meanwhile, GT opener Shubman Gill completed an asthonishing century against the five-time champions as none of MI’s bowlers managed to put a hold on the stylish opener. Gill also thumped the hero for MI in the last game as Akash Madhwal went for back to back boundaries against the right-handed batter. However, Madhwal had the last laugh against Gill as the batter eventually got out during his third over. Follow Indian Premier League live updates on Insidesport.IN
To note, Gill spared no MI bowler as he went to smash 129 runs in just 60 balls which included 7 fours and 10 maximums. Madhwal finished on 52 runs in his four overs quota as he scalped the sole wicket of Gill. Meanwhile, the Titans have managed to post a mammoth total of 233 runs in their allotted 20 overs. Apart from Gill, Skipper Hardik Pandya and Sai Sudharshan played some decent cameos with the bat.
“Actually I went to the washroom to set my hair and didn’t think that I will be wearing this[On wearing the orange cap]. Yeah, It was sweating a lot, it went into my eyes too. Yeah, the short boundaries play a part, as a batter we need to keep that in mind and target according to that. When the bowlers bowled on the good area, we need to just think of taking doubles. I thought the ball held a bit in the first couple of overs, and there was no grass on the pitch so the ball was coming onto the bat nicely also due to some wet patches on the field the ball stopped swinging,” Gill said after his innings.
