NEW DELHI : Shubman Gill smashed an incendiary 129 off 60 balls to send Gujarat Titans into the final of the Indian Premier League (IPL) following their 62-run victory against Mumbai Indians in Ahmedabad on Friday.
Shubman Gill produced an absolute masterclass as he slammed his third IPL century for Gujarat Titans during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 Qualifier 2 encounter against Mumbai Indians at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday. Gill looked completely in control against all the MI bowlers as the opener scored 129 runs off 60 deliveries with the help of 7 fours and 10 sixes. While all the MI bowlers struggled against him, last match's hero Akash Madhwal went for three sixes in a single over.
The story of Shubman Gill keeps getting better and better with every match. The talented opening batter has already been anointed the 'prince' of Indian cricket by billions of fans and Gill gave them another reason to show that he rightly deserves the title more than anybody else. The 23-year-old Gill slammed his third century of IPL 2023 for Gujarat Titans in just 49 balls against Mumbai Indians in a must-win IPL Qualifier 2 in Ahmedabad on Friday. 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.
Akash Madhwal hogged the limelight with his sensational bowling as Mumbai Indians entered the Qualifier 2 of IPL 2023 with an 81-run win over Lucknow Super Giants in a largely one-sided encounter at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday. The five-time IPL champions ticked off all the boxes in the key contest to set up a clash with defending champions Gujarat Titans. The winner of the encounter will take on Chennai Super Kings in the IPL final in Ahmedabad on May 28.
The rivalry between Virat Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq took an all new turn on Wednesday as the fans at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai chanted the RCB's batters in front of the pacer. The incident took place during the Eliminator match of IPL 2023 between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians, where the five-time champions emerged as the winners by 81 runs. The day turned out to be treat for the pacers as in the first innings, Naveen took a four-wicket haul and helped LSG restrict MI to 182/8. However, his efforts went in vain as Akash Madhwal outshined him and took a five-wicket haul and bundled out LSG at 101.
'Mango' is a fruit we all know. However, in the recent days, it has become a symbol as the fans associate the fruit with the battle between Royal Challengers Bangalore star Virat Kohli and Lucknow Super Giants pacer Naveen-ul-Haq. The heated clash between the duo during an LSG vs RCB game on May 1 became the highlight of the season's league stage with 'mango' also getting the spotlight post match. Naveen helped the fruit get a different kind of attention by posting "sweet mangoes" image on his Instagram story with the picture also containing a TV screen showing the clip of an IPL 2023 match between RCB and MI right after the dismissal of Kohli.
Lucknow Super Giants' Afghan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq had a verbal spat with star batter Virat Kohli during his side's IPL 2023 match against Royal Challengers Bangalore earlier this month. Since then, fans across the IPL venues have taunted Naveen by chanting Kohli's name during the matches. On Wednesday, LSG crashed out of IPL 2023 after losing to Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator in Chennai. During the match, Naveen was once again targetted by fans inside the Chepauk.
LSG bowler Naveen-ul-Haq said he enjoyed the "Kohli, Kohli" chants at the stadium on Wednesday as it gave him the passion to play well for his team. During the league stage of the ongoing IPL, Naveen-ul-Haq had a heated chat with Royal Challengers Bangalore star Virat Kohli. After the RCB-LSG game, the Afghan even posted Instagram stories about mangoes whenever the Bangalore-based outfit did not perform well in their matches. "I enjoy it. I like everyone in the ground chanting his (Virat Kohli) name or any other player's name. It gives me passion to play well for my team," he said after his brilliant spell of 4/38 against MI, albeit in a losing cause.
