Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill displayed e­xceptional leadership skills against Che­nnai Super Kings in a crucial Indian Premier Le­ague (IPL) 2024 clash in Ahmedabad on Friday (May 10). Stepping up whe­n it mattered most the tale­nted righthander smashed an impre­ssive 104 runs off just 55 balls boasting a remarkable strike­ rate of 189.09. His explosive innings highlighte­d by six powerful sixes and nine e­legant boundaries not only seale­d victory but also marked his fourth IPL century and an astounding 100th ton in the T20 tourname­nt.

Shubman Gill also shared the opening wicket with centurion Sai Sudharsan, scoring 210 runs together. With the century, Gill returned to form after scoring only 67 runs in his previous five IPL innings.

The 24-year-old has scored 426 runs in 12 matches, including a century and three fifties. Gill will now try to extend his purple patch as GT must win their final games to be in the playoff race.

Fans on X (previously Twitter) praised Shubman Gill’s batsmanship versus GT. Someone posted a meme that read:

“Sabki izzat karenge to lootenge kiski? (If we respect everyone then whose honor shall we steal?”

Take a look:

A user highlighted Gill’s consistency at Narendra Modi Stadium and wrote:

“Shubman Gill is Ahmedabad’s Don Bradman”

Another user remarked on Gill’s violent celebration, saying he could have been part of India’s main team for the forthcoming 2024 T20 World Cup. He wrote:

“This innings & celebration is a statement to Indian selectors who ignored him.”
