Mumbai team
Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians reached the final for the second consecutive time after winning by 62 runs against Mumbai Indians in the Qualifier 2 encounter held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. In this match, captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bowl first. But Gujarat opener Shubman Gill, who proved Rohit’s decision wrong, not only scored his third IPL century, but also troubled the Mumbai bowlers like no other. Gill, who scored 129 runs in just 60 balls with the help of 7 fours and 10 sixes, took revenge by hitting three sixes in one over against Akash Madhwal, who had knocked down his wicket in the last encounter.
Gill, who came to bowl the 12th over of the Gujarat innings, hit Akash’s first ball over backward square leg for a brilliant six, then hit the next ball over mid-wicket for a six. He then hit the fifth ball of the over for a six over the head of the square-leg fielder. In this way, Gill took revenge against Akash who had knocked down his wicket in the last encounter.
Extraordinary!😯

IPL 2023: Shubman on Kohli’s path; The records were written by Gill who scored 129 runs in 60 balls
Hero in last game, Zero in this game
In fact Akash, who had played an important role in gifting victory to Mumbai who had played an eliminator match against Lucknow before this match, was very expensive in this match. In the eliminator match against Lucknow Supergiants, Akash took five wickets with five runs in 3.3 overs. It was the best performance by a bowler in IPL history. But Akash failed to perform in this match.
Tim David who gave his life
Madhwal, who became an expensive bowler after giving away 51 runs in this match, finally took the wicket of Gill. In the fifth ball of the 17th over, Gill was caught by Tim David and dismissed. But this same David, Gill gave life to Gill by making a catch when he was playing by scoring 30 runs.
Gill who wrote the record
Gill, who scored a record century in this match, became the seventh batsman to score a century in an IPL playoff match. Also, he became the first player to write this record at the youngest age of 23 years and 260 days. Also, Gill’s century is the third joint-fastest century in an IPL playoff match, along with Wriddhiman Saha and Royal Challengers Bangalore’s Rajat Patidar (49 balls).
