Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan Rewrite IPL Record Books
Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan have rewritten the IPL record books. With their previous game against CSK, the duo stitched their 10th century partnership in the tournament. This is the most by an opening stand, and they also level with Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers.
Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan have been one of the finest opening pairs we could ever see in the IPL history. And to ensure that there is no better argument in this, the duo decided to write its name in the history books in the game against CSK. With GT sent to bat first, they started to assault the CSK bowlers.
This helped Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan to be a part of yet another century stand in the IPL. It was also their 10th century stand in the tournament, while opening the innings together. This now makes them the pair with most tons in an opening stand, as they have now overtaken Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli, who ruled this list for a long time.
Still, Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan are not the most successful IPL partnership. For this, they are tying at the top spot with yet another famous duo in the tournament. And this is the duo of AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli, as they also have 10 century partnerships, similar to Gill and Sudharsan.
Our Take
Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan have been the key players when it comes to the batting line-up of Gujarat Titans. The duo has managed to keep the team alive through the seasons, and now even took them to the playoffs once again. Shubman Gill takes the charge against the pacers while Sai Sudharsan dominates the spinners with ease. Still, it remains to be seen whether they can challenge the legacy of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers or not.
