‘Sara Tendulkar aaj bohot khush hogi’ – Fans react as Shubman Gill scores a fifty against Mumbai Indians

Gujrat Titans are playing host to five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Narendra Modi stadium in a clash that is going to be an important one in the context of the Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Gujarat Titans are coming into the game on the back of a superb win against the Lucknow Super Giants where they scraped a victory from the jaws of defeat. Mumbai Indians on the other hand, were close to a perfect victory as they were chasing a massive score against the Punjab Kings in their last game

The Gujarat Titans team, led by Hardik Pandya, has eight points after six games, with four victories and two losses. With six points from six games which include three wins and three losses. Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, are currently eighth in the standings. Both teams will need to win in order to increase their chances of making the playoffs.

Mumbai Indians elected to bowl first after winning the toss. The five-time champions’ captain Rohit Sharma claimed that Jofra Archer is sick, thus he is once again forced to sit out. In his place in the starting XI, Riley Meredith rejoined the playing XI. The Gujarat Titans, on the other hand, are using the same lineup as the game in which they surprisingly defeated the Lucknow Super Giants. 

Wriddhiman Saha was taken out by Arjun Tendulkar early in the innings, while Hardik Pandya was taken out by Piyush Chawla off the very first ball of his first over following the powerplay. In the powerplay, Shubman Gill made sure GT maintained their run rate. 

Shubman Gill was all class as he has been in this IPL season and notched up another great fifty against the mighty Mumbai Indians. He showed his class and temperament and was searching for boundaries due to the long boundary dimensions of the Narendra Modi stadium. But Kumar Kartikeya took Gill out when he was trying to accelerate the innings and that was a crucial wicket at that time.
