The 26th match of IPL 2025 saw an electrifying clash between Rishabh Pant’s Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. The match witnessed an exceptional performance from Shubman Gill, who played a captain’s knock and made history with his stunning 60 runs off just 38 balls.
Shubman, along with Sai Sudharsan, gave Gujarat Titans a flying start as the duo put up a phenomenal partnership of 120 runs for the first wicket in 12.1 overs. Shubman’s blistering knock included six sixes and six fours, making it a total of 60 runs that left the LSG bowlers scrambling.
But the real magic came after his departure – Shubman became the first-ever player to score 2000 runs for Gujarat Titans in the IPL, marking a major milestone in the franchise’s journey. This record-breaking feat places Shubman in a league of his own as the leading run-scorer for GT.
Shubman had joined Gujarat Titans in IPL 2022 during the pre-auction draft, and since then, he has been a cornerstone for the team. His performance in IPL 2022 was stellar, scoring 483 runs in 16 matches, which was his best season to date. The 2022 IPL final saw GT defeating Rajasthan Royals, further cementing their spot as champions in their debut season.
The list of top run-scorers for GT now features Shubman Gill at the top with 2007 runs. Following him is Sai Sudharsan, with a steady 1363 runs from 31 games. Both players have emerged as the backbone of Gujarat Titans’ batting lineup, with Sudharsan’s consistency adding significant depth to the team.
With this historic achievement, Shubman Gill has truly solidified his place as one of the finest players in IPL history, showcasing his skill, power, and leadership in grand style!
