Shubman Gill continued his good form in IPL 2026 with a masterful inning at his hunting ground Ahmedabad on Friday. The Gujarat Titans captain smashed a stunning 86 to take his side to victory over the Kolkata Knight Riders. Gill also rose to the top of the IPL 2026 Orange Cap leaderboard, going past RCB's Virat Kohli.
Gill in command
Gill was in complete command, firing on all cylinders as he steered the Titans to their third win of the season. Chasing a below par total, Gill set the tone from the outset, striking three boundaries, including a pristine straight drive, and a six in the first three overs.
He then anchored the innings with poise, pacing his knock to perfection. His innings was peppered with eight fours and four sixes. The GT captain looked in pursuit of a century but was dismissed for 86 after a stunning catch by Green.
Gill zooms past Virat
Gill's heroics on Friday saw him go to the top of the IPL 2026 Orange cap list. He now has 251 runs in 4 games, having missed a match earlier in the season due to a neck spasm. Virat Kohli held the spot ahead of the GT vs KKR with 228 runs, but the Prince has now toppled the King to the top of the charts.
