New Delhi: 

Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper Shubman Gill missed out on a well-deserved hundred as he fell victim to nervous 90s once again during his side’s clash against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on Monday, April 21. Gill was dismissed after scoring 90 runs off 55 balls during GT’s innings at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Batters to have been dismissed most times in 90s in IPL:

Ruturaj Gaikwad – 3 times

Glenn Maxwell – 3 times

David Warner – 3 times

Chris Gayle – 2 times

Faf du Plessis – 2 times

Virat Kohli – 2 times

Shubman Gill – 2 times

KL Rahul – 2 times

Gujarat Titans will be hoping to defend the target successfully as they search for their sixth win of the season after beating Delhi Capitals in their last game. GT are currently placed at the top of the IPL 2025 points table with 10 points from seven matches and a net run rate of +0.984.

Shubman Gill’s 90 powers Gujarat Titans to 198/3:

Gill’s 55-ball 90 along with Sudharsan’s 52 off 36 balls and Jos Buttler’s crucial knock of an unbeaten 23-ball 41, helped Gujarat Titans post a strong total of 198 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens.

Gill and Sudharsan provided Gujarat Titans with a solid start, sharing an opening stand of 114 runs before the GT skipper combined with Buttler to share another important partnership of 58 runs for the second wicket.

With his second dismissal in the 90s in the IPL, Gill equalled the likes of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul among others on the list of batters to have been dismissed on 90s the most times in the IPL.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad is on top of the unwanted list, having been dismissed thrice in the 90s in his IPL career so far.

However, he was undone by a low full toss from KKR pacer Vaibhav Arora in the 18th over. Gill used his wrist to guide the delivery over mid-wicket for a six, but failed to generate enough power in the shot as he was caught by Rinku Singh.

He fell short of the three-figure mark by 10 runs and ended up getting dismissed in the nervous 90s for the second time in his IPL career.

Opening the batting with Sai Sudharsan, Gill started steadily after Gujarat Titans were asked to bat first in the game.

He picked up two boundaries off Harshit Rana in the 5th over to find some momentum and completed his fifty off 34 balls in the 11th over. Gill upped the ante after completing his half-century and raced to 90 off the next 20 balls.
