The 17th match of IPL 2024 is currently going on between Gujarat Titans vs Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday, April 4. Batting first, Gujarat Titans got off to a stunning start as their captain Shubman Gill started off with a maximum off Harpreet Brar.

It was the final ball of the first over when Shubman Gill smashed a six off Harpreet Brar. He came down the track and converted it into a half volley and smashed it straight back over, which hit the boundary line as well.

However, during the toss, Shubman Gill said as quoted by Cricbuzz: “We would have bowled, it looks like an even wicket, it’s been a bit overcast so hopefully there will be no dew. We have started off pretty well, we have got couple of games on the road after this, games on the road are important. Last year, we played away from home pretty well. Miller misses out due to a niggle and Kane comes into the side.”
