Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill produced a stellar knock against Kolkata Knight Riders in their IPL 2025 clash at Eden Gardens, reminding everyone why he’s one of the most elegant stroke-makers in the game. From the moment he walked out to bat, Gill exuded confidence and class, timing the ball sweetly and piercing the field with surgical precision.
Opening alongside the in-form Sai Sudharsan, Gill wasted no time in getting going. His intent was clear from the outset as he launched an early assault on the KKR bowlers, combining finesse with calculated aggression. Whether it was spin or pace, Gill had answers for everything, navigating the bowling attack with silky footwork and superb placement.

He brought up his third fifty of the season in just 34 balls, a mark of his growing consistency as a leader and top-order batter. Once past that milestone, Gill pressed the accelerator further, showcasing a fine mix of wristy flicks, powerful drives, and smart running between the wickets.
His form allowed the Gujarat Titans to build a solid platform for a massive total. However, just as he looked set to convert his innings into a century, brilliance in the field ended his stay.

Brilliant cricket all around 👏
