IPL 2018, KKR vs CSK: Hits and Misses

#1 Hit: Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill finally came good

Gill has been rated very highly in recent times. He won the Man of the Tournament in the Under-19 World Cup this year but hasn’t quite lived up to expectation in this IPL.

His highest score (before today) was 37 which came in a lost cause against KKR. However, he was batting mostly at No. 6 and hence was not getting enough opportunities.

But with Nitish Rana missing out due to an injury, Gill got the chance to bat in the top four and delivered with an excellent half-century.

The Punjab-born batsman came into bat at the fall of Uthappa’s dismissal. He started really well as he struck three boundaries off Watson and got going. He rotated strike very well in the middle-overs and also found the odd boundary.

He finished with a superb unbeaten knock of 57 (which comprised six fours and two sixes) and took KKR home.
