Kolkata Knights Riders: Former India batter Ambati Rayudu lauded Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill's 90-run knock against Kolkata Knights Riders at Eden Gardens on Monday. Rayudu termed it "incredible batting" by the opening batter who hammered 10 fours and three sixes in his 55-ball stay and guided them to 198/3.

Gill and Sai Sudharsan were involved in a 114-run opening stand as the latter scored 36-ball 52 to lay the foundation for Jos Buttler to score 23-ball 41 laced with eight fours. Prasidh Krishna and Rashid Khan bagged two scalps each to power Gujarat to a commanding 39-run win.

Rayudu analysed Gill’s fluent knock and his ability to adapt on a tough pitch. “It all started with Harshit Rana bowling those two wide deliveries - Gill was struggling a bit before that. But after that, he really found his rhythm. We saw some incredible shots - pure cricketing strokes. That slog sweep against Sunil Narine was especially impressive. It wasn’t an easy shot to execute, and he managed runs all around the pitch.
