Amazing performance by Shubman Gill (Photo-PTI)
Shubman Gill Orange Cap: When Shubman Gill is in form, it is not only difficult but impossible to stop him, something similar was seen at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Gujarat Titans captain Shubhman Gill played an amazing innings against Kolkata Knight Riders and scored fifty plus score for the third consecutive time. Shubman completed his half-century against Gujarat in just 27 balls. Along with scoring a half-century, this right-handed batsman also captured the Orange Cap.
Shubman Gill defeated Virat Kohli in the Orange Cup race. Before the Gujarat-Kolkata match, Virat had scored 228 runs in five innings but when Shubman Gill came to the crease, he left Virat behind. The amazing thing is that Shubman Gill has played one match less than Virat Kohli. Now the entire season will see a race between Shubman and Virat Kohli to win the Orange Cap.
Even after playing one less innings, Shubman Gill is still at the top of the Orange Cap list🧡

He took the innings forward rapidly with Jos Buttler. Gill completed his half-century in 27 balls with the help of 2 sixes and 6 fours.Glorious ✅ Elegant ✅ Class ✅

Let us tell you that Shubman Gill was made the vice-captain of the Indian T20 team last year but he was dropped from the team just before the World Cup.
He did not play T20 World Cup 2026 and the interesting thing is that Team India also became champion. When Gill was removed, it was said that Gill is not a batsman in T20 format but Gill is now answering his opponents by scoring lots of runs in IPL 2026.
