Shubman Gill and B Sai Sudharsan showcased their batting prowess in a spectacular showdown as Gujarat Titans clinched a crucial 35-run victory against Chennai Super Kings on Friday. Gill’s explosive century (104 off 55 balls) and Sudharsan’s remarkable maiden IPL ton (103 off 51 balls) propelled GT to a formidable total of 231/3. The duo’s relentless assault saw them matching each other stroke for stroke, forming a destructive partnership that yielded 210 runs, the highest in this season’s IPL. Their phenomenal performance not only equaled the record for the highest-ever IPL opening partnership but also left the home crowd in awe with their six-hitting exhibition. Despite valiant efforts from Daryl Mitchell (63) and Moeen Ali (56), CSK fell short, managing only 196/8 as GT’s bowlers successfully defended their imposing total.
