Chasing a total of 178 runs, Gujarat Titans needed a strong start and it was provided by Shubman Gill, who played a fine knock. His 36-ball 52 was comprised of 6 fours and also a couple of sixes, while he set up a 106-run partnership with his opening partnership Wriddhiman Saha.

This inning should come as a major sigh of relief for Gill, as he has not been in good form recently. The 22-year-old had a fantastic start as he scored two half-centuries in his first three matches in IPL 2022. He played a knock of 84 runs against Delhi Capitals and then scored 96 runs against Punjab Kings.

However, things took a grim turn after that for Gill. In his last seven matches, he had scored only 89 runs which included only one knock where he scored over 30 runs. However, just as when there were talks of whether he should be axed from the team, the elegant batter has delivered once again.

Meanwhile, Shubman Gill reclaimed his status as Gujarat Titans’ leading run-scorer with this knock, but only for a few minutes before Hardik Pandya got past him again. Currently, Gill has 321 runs to his name at an average of 29.18 and a strike rate of 138.96.
