Shubman Gill was the star performer for Gujarat Titans as the defending champions registered a comprehensive 62-run victory over Mumbai Indians to book their spot in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 final against Chennai Super Kings on Friday. Gill looked in sublime form as he slammed 129 off just 60 deliveries with the help of 7 fours and 10 sixes. While the innings was mostly without any hiccup, the opener was handed a massive lifeline in the fifth over of the GT innings when he was batting on 30. Gill mistimed a shot off Chris Jordan and it flew straight to Tim David at mid-on. The Australian all-rounder quickly moved to his right but was unable to hold on to the ball as it popped out of his grip mid-dive.

While reaching the triple figure mark thrice in one season is a big feat in itself, the commanding fashion in which Gill reached the mark was a treat to watch in itself. This is the joint fastest ton in IPL Playoffs. Wriddhiman Saha (2014 final) and Rajat Patidar (2022 Eliminator) also reached the triple-figure marks in 49 balls.
