Last week, fans were treated to performances by Arijit Singh, Tamannah Bhatia, and Rashmika Mandanna at the IPL 2023 opening ceremony at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
In the subsequent match, Gill surpassed Ruturaj Gaikwad’s excellent knock with a dazzling half-century as Gujarat Titans began their title defence with a convincing five-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings.
Gaikwad was all class in his 92 off 50 balls, but Titans came back in the middle overs to restrict Chennai Super Kings to 178 for seven after opting to bowl first in front of a near-capacity crowd at the world’s largest cricket stadium.
Gill, who has been in top form for the past three months, played some jaw-dropping strokes in his 63 off 36 balls to set up a fine win for the home team. Titans won in 19.2 overs.
