Gujarat Titans openers Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan sent the cricket statisticians into overdrive by hitting twin centuries against Chennai Super Kings in an IPL 2024 match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Sudharsan, who smashed his maiden IPL century, struck 103 off 51 balls with five fours and seven sixes while Gill scored season’s first ton — a sublime 104 off 55 balls with half a dozen sixes. The two batters put on 210 runs for the first wicket and equalled the record set by Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul in 2022.
Gill and Sudharsan’s blitz enabled Gujarat Titans to put up a mammoth 231/3 in a must-win game. This is GT’s second-best score in the IPL, behind the 233 they put up against Mumbai Indians last year.
