Gill's masterclass innings

Earlier in the innings, Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Shubman Gill hit 50-ball-84 that took the visitors to a score of 209/4. The Gujarat Titans skipper scored his fourth half-century with help of five fours and four sixes, adding 93 for the opening stand with Sai Sudharsan (39 off 30 balls).

Later, Gill put on another 74-run partnership with Jos Buttler, with both these stands laying a platform for GT to cross the 200-run mark. GT got to their 50-run mark in 5.4 overs. At the end of their six overs in the powerplay, GT was 53/0, with Sai (26*) and Gill (25*) unbeaten.
