Shubman Gill, the captain of Gujarat Titans, has shown some great skill on the field, but he’s struggled to find a consistent rhythm in IPL 2025 up to now. He started his season against Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians with some promising innings but couldn’t push those starts into big scores. His game against RCB was another disappointment, where he just couldn’t make a mark. But not all has been lost; in his latest match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, he turned things around drastically, smashing an impressive 61 runs off just 43 balls to lead his team to victory.
So far this IPL season, he has amassed 146 runs over four innings. Coming up next for Gill and his Gujarat Titans is a home game against Rajasthan Royals at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, April 9. This match holds special significance for Gill as he stands on the edge of breaking a couple of records that would mark important milestones in his career. Let’s take a look at what he might achieve during this game.
150 sixes in the shortest format of the game.
First off, Shubman is just two sixes away from hitting a huge milestone of 150 sixes in T20 cricket. He made his T20 debut back in April 2018 while representing Kolkata Knight Riders in a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Since then, he’s played a total of 149 T20 matches, including 21 for the Indian national team. In his T20 innings, he has managed to hit 148 sixes so far, out of which 100 have been in the IPL. It would be quite a feat for him to reach that 150 mark in the upcoming game.
50 catches in T20 cricket
There’s also another record within his reach; he’s close to completing 50 catches in T20 matches. As of now, Shubman has taken 48 catches across his 149 games in this format, which includes 38 catches just in the IPL for two teams—Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Titans. Plus, when he plays internationally for India, he has captured five catches up to this point.
With his recent performance pushing him into a better form, everyone will be watching closely to see if Shubman can make these records happen in the next match against the Royals. It’s going to be exciting!
