For the second time in four evenings, Sai Sudharsan departed hit wicket, the bat flying off his hands before the ball found the stumps. Yet on Friday night, it was a first-of-the-season kind of performance that captured attention most\u2014Shubman Gill, captain of the Gujarat Titans and also the skipper of India\u2019s Test and ODI sides, produced a stunning century to drive his team into the final of IPL 2026, to be played in Ahmedabad on Sunday against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.<\/p>\n<h2>Gill\u2019s century lights up the IPL 2026 final chase<\/h2>\n<p>Gill\u2019s innings arrived after a season-long period where he had looked crisp without necessarily converting into a standout score. Alongside his left-handed opening partner Sudharsan, he has served as the driving force of the Titans\u2019 campaign\u2014batting with a mix of flair and control, and bringing imagination and composure to the crease. The timing of his explosion also carried a sharper edge after Gujarat were handed a 92-run drubbing in Tuesday\u2019s Qualifier 1 against RCB, with Rajasthan Royals then becoming the next victim as the Titans delivered a brutally effective batting display that ended the Royals\u2019 campaign earlier than expected.<\/p>\n<h2>Chasing 215 in Ahmedabad\u2019s backyard: calm, precise, relentless<\/h2>\n<p>Only kilometres from where he was born, Gill found his rhythm in New Chandigarh\u2014an environment that has supported him since his Under-19 days. Unhurried despite facing a target of 215, he built his innings with a sequence of strokes that felt almost test-like in their authority. There were no flashy dinks, no reckless reverse-hitting, and no unnecessary shuffling across the crease to disturb his own timing. Instead, it was \u201cGill doing Gill things\u201d: a steady head, quick hands, and a clear reading of the gaps across the outfield rather than fixating on fielders who often looked on helplessly.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gill set his tone early and maintained control even under a steep chase of 215.<\/li>\n<li>His shot selection stayed orthodox in intent, yet inventive in execution.<\/li>\n<li>The innings was marked by fastness of hands and an accurate eye for openings on the vast ground.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Sooryavanshi\u2019s near-misses and Sudharsan\u2019s unlucky dismissal<\/h2>\n<p>One of those watching from the boundary was Sooryavanshi, again a focal point after a brilliant 96. But his night also underlined how close he has been to breaking through again and again. Earlier in the tournament, against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Eliminator on Wednesday, Sooryavanshi struck 97 off 29. On Friday, against a sharper bowling unit that used angles and bounce effectively, he had to work to reach fifty\u2014needing 31 balls to get there\u2014before the tempo accelerated suddenly, with his momentum shaken by a helmet blow from Kagiso Rabada.<\/p>\n<p>After that, Sooryavanshi finished with a strong late surge, his final 46 runs coming from just 16 deliveries. The frustration of being dismissed in the 90s for the third time in four innings was evident as he walked off, but even in disappointment, it was clear that another special performance had unfolded.<\/p>\n<p>Sudharsan, meanwhile, suffered a rare kind of dismissal\u2014hit wicket\u2014where the bat spiralled away off his hands and the ball found the stumps. That departure came after Gill and Sudharsan had already established the foundation for the chase.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sooryavanshi made 96 after earlier scoring 97 off 29 vs Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Eliminator.<\/li>\n<li>On Friday, he reached fifty in 31 deliveries before accelerating later.<\/li>\n<li>His last 46 runs were scored off just 16 balls, but he was again out in the 90s.<\/li>\n<li>Sudharsan was dismissed hit wicket, with the bat flying away and the stumps being disturbed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>From a shaky start to a century in 47: the \u201czone\u201d and a dominant finish<\/h2>\n<p>Gill\u2019s evening did not begin perfectly. He believed he had won the toss, but match referee Prakash Bhatt said he had not heard Riyan Parag\u2019s call\u2014resulting in a re-toss. Rajasthan\u2019s skipper won the re-toss, preventing Gill from getting his preferred start and forcing Gujarat to react. The chase then worsened quickly as Rashid Khan, Gujarat\u2019s trump card, leaked 45 runs in two overs\u2014leaving Gujarat needing 25 more from a possible 190-mark target, a situation that visibly displeased the captain.<\/p>\n<p>Yet Gill did not let it derail him. He later described being in the \u201czone,\u201d a state that is hard to explain\u2014loosely, it means seeing the ball early like a football, judging length sooner by a fraction, and then finding the gaps that can look almost invisible when runs are scarce. He executed that clarity in real time: he repeatedly pulled Jofra Archer and also struck over the straight field without losing balance or elegance.<\/p>\n<p>Even after Sudharsan\u2019s freak dismissal, there was a sense of inevitability about Gill\u2019s march to three figures. The captain and his trusted partner had combined for a century stand for the third time this season, and together they now boast 11 partnerships of 100-plus in just 48 innings. Still, Gill\u2019s focus remained intact\u2014he ensured Sudharsan\u2019s fall did not interrupt his rhythm. An inside-out cover drive off Ravindra Jadeja carried him to his hundred in only 47 balls, and by the time he was trapped leg before by Archer, the outcome had already been largely decided.<\/p>\n<p>For one of the most exciting young batters in international cricket, the spotlight ultimately belonged to Gill\u2019s masterclass\u2014his performance snatching attention from the 15-year-old Sooryavanshi. In the end, this Friday night was about Shubman Gill: the poster figure for trusting technique and precision, and proving\u2014against the mistaken idea that T20 only rewards brute strength\u2014that controlled skill can dominate the format.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the second time in three nights, teen batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was dismissed in the 90s, caught at third-man.
