Ahmedabad: Shubman Gill’s bat is continuously scoring runs this year and in the IPL 2023 season, he has left all the batsmen behind. Gujarat Titans K’s young opener continued his same charm in Qualifier-2 against Mumbai Indians and once again scored an excellent century. This is Gill’s third century in this season. The contribution of his excellent batting in this innings was equally helped by Mumbai’s fielding – leaving catches.
The Gujarat team had to get down to bat first at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Due to rain, the match started with a delay of half an hour and in such a situation, it seemed that while batting first, Gujarat would have to face trouble against the pacers of Mumbai. This did not happen and the reason for this was Shubman Gill, who again thrashed the bowlers.
Mumbai made a big mistake
Gill, who has already scored more than 700 runs in this season, made a great start in this match as well and started raining runs in the powerplay. Then Chris Jordan came to bowl in the sixth over and Gill hit a six and a four in the very beginning. Jordan created an opportunity with such a start. Gill shot the fifth ball of the over at mid-on.
Tim David stationed there had a chance to take the catch but David dropped this opportunity even after diving to his right. The ball came out inside his hand. At that time Gill’s score was only 30 runs in 20 balls.
