Shubman Gill stood up when his team needed him. Last time, in Qualifier 1, he could not do much, but this time, against Rajasthan Royals, he did all he could to make it easy for the rest of the batters to win tonight.
Gill and Sai Sudharsan both played their elegant shots, both passing 700 runs in this season.
Sai suffered the odd wicket, with his bat flying to his wicket! Shubman sat down, shattered on the ground, probably realizing that he forgot to bring the tape for his man. Despite that, Gill steadily reached to his century on his 47th ball.
With that, he scored the fastest century for the Gujarat Titans. A fun fact is that Shubman dominates the top 5 fastest centuries for his team, with Sai Su taking the third position, that too sharing with Gill.

Well, during the final delivery of the 15th over (14.6 ov), Jofra Archer bowled a full, attacking delivery straight at the stumps. Gill attempted to play it but missed, getting trapped right in front of the wickets. He walked back to the dugout after a sensational, match-defining knock of 104 runs off 53 balls, which included 15 fours and 3 sixes
