Following closely behind Gill is David Warner, who reached the same milestone in 22 innings at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

The match itself started on a high note for Gujarat Titans, with Gill and his opening partner Sai Sudharsan setting the stage on fire. The duo raced to 66 runs without losing a wicket in the powerplay, marking the first time in the season that a team achieved a wicketless powerplay in the first innings.
Despite his record-breaking feat, Gill’s innings was cut short by Hardik Pandya, the Mumbai Indians captain, in the ninth over. Gill departed after scoring a brisk 38 off 27 deliveries, including one six and four boundaries. Together with Sudharsan, they had put on a solid partnership of 78 runs in 8.3 overs, laying a strong foundation for their team’s innings.
