Mumbai Indians, the most successful team in the IPL, and the reigning champions, Gujarat Titans, will face each other today (May 26) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Being the second qualifier, the equation is final if you win, out if you lose.
Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and put Gujarat into bat in the semi-final. Batting earlier, Shubman Gill’s superhuman century made Gujarat 233 runs after losing three wickets after the scheduled 20 overs.
The opening pair of Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill scored 54 runs in six over two balls. Wriddhiman came back after being stumped by Ishan Kisan after scoring 18 runs off 16 balls by Piyush Chawla. After that, it was just a good show in Ahmedabad. This star created a storm with the bat. He completed the century with a single off Cameron Greene in the first ball of the 15th over. He hit a 49-ball century at a strike rate of over 200 in Ahmedabad, hitting four fours and eight sixes.
Shubman not only spared the Mumbai bowlers by scoring a century; He hit two sixes and a four in the three balls he faced after the century. In the end, Shubman stopped for 129 runs off 60 balls at a strike rate of 215.
Shubman’s tornado innings had seven fours and ten sixes. Team David was bowled by Akash Madhwal for the team’s 192 runs. On the other side, he was accompanied by Sai Sudarshan. He retired after scoring 43 runs off 31 balls and returned to the dressing room. Captain Hardik Pandya remains unbeaten in a 13-ball 28-run cameo. In the end, Gujarat challenged Mumbai to chase down a daunting target of 234 runs.
No one could take advantage of the ball in front of Shubman Gill’s superhuman innings. Chawla and Madhwal got one wicket each.
