Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper Shubman Gill put on a show with the bat in Match 17 of the IPL 2024 season against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Thursday (April 4).

Opening the innings, Gill slammed 89* off 48 balls, propelling the Titans to a massive 199/4 in 20 overs. His unbeaten knock was studded with 6 fours and 4 sixes.

The highlight of Gill’s knock was the couple of maximums he hit against ace pacer Kagiso Rabada. While first shot was a lofted one over the straight boundary, the other six was smashed over wide long-on.

Here’s the video:

It was Shubman Gill’s first half-century of the ongoing IPL season in four innings. He was named the Gujarat Titans captain after Hardik Pandya was traded to Mumbai Indians ahead of the IPL 2024 in an all-cash deal.

Under Gill’s captaincy, the Titans have won two out of their three matches so far. While GT defeated MI and SRH, they suffered a loss at the hands of CSK.
