IPL 2023: “That’s how you control the ball” Parthiv Patel on Shubman Gill’s incredible century 

Shubman Gill has done wonders for the Gujarat Titans team franchise. He has given some stellar performances for the team in the Indian Premier League 2023. With his stunning technical shots and high run-scoring ability, Shubman Gill has become the talk of the town since he smashed back-to-back centuries in all formats of the game for the Indian cricket team as well as for Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2023. 

Recently, Gujarat Titans locked horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad in their home ground, the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad for the 62nd match of the TATA IPL 2023. The stadium witnessed Shubman Gill’s run storm as he scored his first IPL century. 23-year-old Shubman Gill scored 101 off 58 deliveries with a strike rate of 174.14 while sending the ball thirteen times towards the boundary and hitting once for the maximum hit of six. 

Parthiv Patel on Shubman Gill’s shot selections 

JioCinema Cricket Expert and former Indian team opening batsman Parthiv Patel gave heaps of praise to Shubman Gill for his first IPL Ton. Parthiv believes that Shubman has a great shot selection. He said Shubman has waited for the ball to come towards him, which helped him to find exclusive gaps in the field. 

“What I enjoyed most was seeing him (Shubman Gill) use his technique. All the shots that we saw, had him let the ball come to him. He didn’t try and whack it and it allowed him to successfully find the gaps. When you play on a bouncy pitch, you have to let the ball come to you. That’s how you control the ball and hit where it needs to go. When he was set, he was able to get a century. He (Shubman Gill) has hit centuries in T20, ODI, and Test cricket at this ground.” Said JioCinema Cricket Expert Parthiv Patel on Shubman Gill’s incredible century.  

The defending champions, Gujarat Titans became the first team to qualify for the play-offs of IPL 2023 after their win against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The team will play their last match of the league stage against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Chinnaswamy stadium, Bengaluru.
