Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill jumped two spots to second with a brilliant hundred against Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) on Friday in New Chandigarh. Chasing 215 runs for victory, Shubman laid the foundation stone for the 2022 champions and forged a 167-run stand with Sai Sudharsan, who scored 58.
The Indian Test and ODI captain was dismissed for 104 runs and currently stands second at 722 runs. Sudharsan is third with 710 runs. Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi remained on top of the list with a brilliant knock of 96, thus missing on a well-deserved hundred.
This was Sooryavanshi's second consecutive score in the nineties after missing a hundred by three runs in the Eliminator against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The rest of the table remained the same.
