Shubman Gill, in the form of his life over the past few months, played some breathtaking strokes in his 63 off 36 balls to set up the victory for the home team.
Gill’s opening partner, Wriddhiman Saha, showed that he still has it in him as he smashed a couple of sixes and fours in his quickfire 25 off 16 balls. However, it was Gill’s backfoot punch off CSK’s Tushar Deshpande and his pick-up shot over midwicket that stole the show.
