Shubman Gill scripted history with the bat, becoming the first player to smash 100 sixes for Gujarat Titans during their IPL 2026 clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Earlier in the evening, GT’s bowlers had set the tone by bundling out RCB for 155 in 19. 2 overs, with the likes of Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj leading a disciplined effort.
Walking out after RCB were bowled out for 155, the GT skipper wasted no time asserting control. He got going immediately, striking a four and a six off Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the opening over to set the tone. But it was the second over that truly defined his intent.
Facing Josh Hazlewood, Gill unleashed a stunning assault, hammering 24 runs in the over. The sequence of 4, 4, dot, 6, 4, 6 showcased a mix of authority and elegance as he dismantled one of RCB’s premier bowlers with ease. From stepping out to carve boundaries over the off side to launching clean hits down the ground, Gill looked in complete control.
