The talented opening batter has already been anointed the &#8216;prince&#8217; 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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0This 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.<\/p>\n<p>Gill ultimately fell on 129 off 60 balls in the 17th over. By then, Gujarat Titans had already crossed the 190-mark.\u00a0&#8220;It&#8217;s a joy to watch subhman gill bat&#8230; #wow,&#8221; Irfan Pathan&#8217;s tweet perhaps summed up the brilliant innings in a nutshell.<\/p>\n<p>The supreme control with which Shubman Gill destroyed the MI bowl was clear in a simple stat. When Gill was in his 90s &#8211; he had 91 per cent of his shots from the middle of his bat, while he was beaten in only 2 per cent of the deliveries. That stat shows the kind of touch that the man is in.\u00a0Gill is the seventh batter to score a ton in IPL playoffs and at 23 years and 260 days, he&#8217;s the youngest.\u00a0Only Virat Kohli (4 tons for Royal Challengers Bangalore, 2016) and Jos Buttler (4 for Rajasthan Royals, 2022) have scored more tons than Gill in a single IPL edition.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tgs\">\n<p>Topics mentioned in this article<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.ndtv.com\/ipl-2023\/unstoppable-shubman-gill-is-joy-to-watch-as-gt-star-slams-3rd-century-of-ipl-2023-4069809\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Shubman Gill was in sublime touch for GT vs MI in IPL 2023 Qualifier 2.\u00a9 BCCI\/IPL The story of Shubman Gill keeps getting better and better with every match.
