IPL 2025: Shubman Gill Top-scores With 90 As GT Post 198/3 Against KKR
Captain Shubman Gill: Captain Shubman Gill top-scored with an excellent 55-ball 90 as Gujarat Titans posted a competitive 198/3 in their 20 overs against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens on Monday.
On a slow pitch, GT made 45 runs in the power-play, but upped their scoring after power-play. Gill and B Sai Sudharsan, who made 52, had a brilliant 114-run opening stand. Jos Buttler hit a quick-fire 41 not out off 23 balls, as he benefitted from KKR’s fielding lapses. But one would wonder if GT didn’t much risks as they amassed only 59 runs off the last five overs.
Pushed into batting first, GT had a sedate start as Sudharsan smartly cut and then brought out a gorgeous cover drive to take two boundaries off Vaibhav Arora in the third over. Gill got going by slicing Harshit Rana for consecutive fours, before greeting Varun Chakaravarthy with another slice fetching him yet another boundary as GT ended power-play at 46/0.
