Gujarat Titans batsman Shubman Gill scored his maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) ton in match 62 against struggling Sunrisers Hyderabad and broke a record previously held by Sachin Tendulkar.
Gill, who hit 58-ball 101 before getting dismissed, reached his fifty in just 22 balls with the help of nine boundaries. It is the fastest fifty ever in IPL by any player without hitting a six. The previous record was held by Sachin, who scored a fifty of 23 balls without any sixes in 2010 against erstwhile Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) while playing for Mumbai Indians.
Gill then went to hit four more fours and a six in his innings after reaching 50 as he notched up the first hundred ever by a Gujarat Titans batsman. Notably, nobody from the defending champions had scored a ton last season despite going all the way in the season.
