'Superstar' Gill's ton powers Gujarat Titans into IPL final
thenationalnews.comShubman Gill called his 129 on Friday his "best innings" in the Indian Premier League after he powered champions Gujarat Titans into the final with a 62-run thrashing of Mumbai Indians.
Gill's 60-ball knock – his third ton in four IPL innings – fired Gujarat to 233-3, a total they defended by bowling out five-time winners Mumbai for 171 in 18.2 overs in the final playoff which started late due to rain in Ahmedabad.
They will play Chennai Super Kings in the final on Sunday at the same venue. Named man of the match, Gill said: "I think this was probably my best innings so far in the IPL." Skipper Hardik Pandya praised his opener, saying: "Today's innings was one of the finest, he never looked rushed.
It felt like someone was throwing balls and he was hitting. He will be a superstar in international and franchise cricket." Gill hit 10 sixes and put on a second-wicket stand of 138 with Sai Sudharsan, who made 43, to tear into the opposition attack at the world's biggest cricket stadium.
