The milestone came in a match where GT\u2019s bowlers had already put the visitors under pressure, and Gill then took over with a controlled, boundary-heavy display to help the Titans set the pace early.<\/p>\n<h2>RCB bundled out for 155 as GT strike first<\/h2>\n<p>Earlier in the evening, Gujarat Titans\u2019 pace attack and disciplined bowling set the tone at the crease. RCB were restricted to 155, finishing their innings in 19.2 overs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj were among the key figures as GT kept the scoring rate in check<\/li>\n<li>RCB\u2019s chase ended with them reaching 155 before the full quota of overs was completed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Gill\u2019s blitz: 100 sixes and a 24-run statement over<\/h2>\n<p>With RCB departing for 155, GT\u2019s skipper wasted little time in taking control. Gill started aggressively from the first over, finding the fence early\u2014hitting a four and then a six off Bhuvneshwar Kumar.<\/p>\n<p>However, the second over turned the momentum decisively. Facing Josh Hazlewood, Gill produced a ruthless sequence that brought 24 runs from the over. The scoring pattern\u20144, 4, dot, 6, 4, 6\u2014showed a blend of timing and authority as he attacked one of RCB\u2019s leading bowlers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gill struck a four and a six off Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the opening over<\/li>\n<li>In the next over versus Josh Hazlewood, Gill smashed 24 runs<\/li>\n<li>The over included the sequence: 4, 4, dot, 6, 4, 6<\/li>\n<li>Boundaries came through both off-side execution and clean hits down the ground<\/li>\n<li>A six to deep backward square leg, followed by composed movement and glances at the field, reflected his comfort at the crease<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Records stacked up as Hazlewood\u2019s costly over stood out<\/h2>\n<p>Gill\u2019s innings delivered more than just match dominance\u2014it also created new benchmarks for GT and for IPL power-hitting. His six-hitting reached 100 for Gujarat Titans, making him the first player to reach that mark for the franchise in IPL history. The next highest in GT\u2019s list belongs to Sai Sudharsan, with 69.<\/p>\n<p>His fast start also set another record: his 35 off just 10 balls became the highest score by a Gujarat Titans batter in the first 10 deliveries of an innings, overtaking the previous best held by Hardik Pandya. In a further sign of how completely Gill controlled the contest, the 24-run over was also Hazlewood\u2019s joint-most expensive spell in IPL history.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gill became the first player to hit 100 sixes for Gujarat Titans<\/li>\n<li>Sai Sudharsan is next best for GT with 69 sixes<\/li>\n<li>Gill\u2019s 35 off 10 balls is the highest by a Titans batter in the first 10 deliveries of an innings<\/li>\n<li>The earlier record was held by Hardik Pandya<\/li>\n<li>The 24-run over was Hazlewood\u2019s joint-most expensive in IPL history<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Dismissal: Bhuvneshwar ends Gill\u2019s stay<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the fireworks, Gill\u2019s innings did not last to the end. He was eventually dismissed by Bhuvneshwar Kumar after scoring 43 off 18 balls, bringing an abrupt close to a knock packed with boundary impact and record-breaking moments.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gill finished with 43 runs from 18 deliveries<\/li>\n<li>Bhuvneshwar Kumar took the wicket<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shubman Gill etched his name into IPL record books
