New Delhi: With his 38-run knock against the Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill reached a major IPL milestone. He became the second-fastest batsman in IPL history to reach 1,000 runs at a single location when he did so at Narendra Modi Stadium. He is noteworthy for being the first Indian to accomplish this feat.
Gujarat's Excellent Beginning Against Mumbai
The Gujarat Titans were asked to bat first after losing the toss. Sai Sudharsan and captain Shubman Gill formed a strong 78-run partnership for the first wicket at the start of the innings. Before being removed in the ninth over, Gill scored a vital 38 runs off 27 balls, hitting four boundaries and one six.
Second-Fastest to 1000 Runs at a Single IPL Venue
In just 20 innings at Narendra Modi Stadium, Gill achieved the 1,000-run milestone. Chris Gayle set a record for the fastest 1,000 runs at a single IPL stadium as he reached the milestone in just 19 innings at Bengaluru's M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Nonetheless, Gill is currently the only Indian batter to accomplish this feat in a single stadium.
Gill's Domination at the Stadium of Narendra Modi
On April 8, 2022, the Gujarat Titans played their first-ever IPL game at Narendra Modi Stadium. It's interesting to note that Shubman Gill was out for a duck in that game. He played for the Kolkata Knight Riders prior to joining Gujarat, amassing respectable IPL 2021 scores of 9 and 43 here. But when Gill crushed a century (101 off 58 balls) against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the same ground in 2023, his luck took a turn for the better. He scored an incredible 129 runs against the Mumbai Indians later that year. He scored another century (104) against the Chennai Super Kings in the 2024 Indian Premier League, further solidifying his domination.
The Narendra Modi Stadium has been the site of three of his four IPL hundreds, making it his most successful venue. Gill has become one of the most threatening batters in IPL history because to his steady performances. In the next matches, fans will be anxious to see how he maintains his amazing form.
