In a milestone achievement during Gujarat Titans’ away game against Delhi Capitals, skipper Shubman Gill not only led his team to victory but also shattered a record previously held by Virat Kohli. Joining the ranks of IPL captains like Hardik Pandya, Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, and Rishabh Pant, Gill marked his 100th IPL appearance in style, becoming the second-youngest and fastest Indian to reach this landmark in the prestigious T20 league.
Gill’s journey to this milestone saw him guiding Gujarat Titans to an impressive streak of wins in the 2024 season, showcasing his leadership prowess and batting prowess alike. His achievement at just 24 years and 229 days old outshines Kohli’s record, making him the youngest Indian to reach the 100-match milestone in IPL history.
Reflecting on his accomplishment after winning the toss, Gill expressed gratitude for his journey thus far and focused on the task at hand, emphasizing the importance of staying true to one’s strengths in cricket’s unpredictable landscape.
After being released by Kolkata Knight Riders, Gill found a new home with Gujarat Titans, with whom he lifted the IPL trophy in the 2022 season. His contributions to the team’s success, including notable performances in the title-winning campaign and his subsequent Orange Cap win in 2023, solidify his status as a key player in the league.
With the added responsibility of captaincy following Hardik Pandya’s departure, Gill has embraced the challenge, leading Gujarat Titans with determination and skill in the quest for further glory in IPL 2024.
