He got going immediately, striking a four and a six off <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/bhuvneshwar-kumar\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Bhuvneshwar Kumar<\/a> in the opening over to set the tone.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>But it was the second over that truly defined his intent. Facing <!-- -->Josh Hazlewood<!-- -->, Gill unleashed a stunning assault, hammering 24 runs in the over. The sequence of 4, 4, dot, 6, 4, 6 showcased a mix of authority and elegance as he dismantled one of RCB\u2019s premier bowlers with ease.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>From stepping out to carve boundaries over the off side to launching clean hits down the ground, Gill looked in complete control. One flick over deep backward square leg for six, followed by a composed walk and a glance at the fielders, underlined the confidence he carried at the crease.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>That was Gill\u2019s 100th six for GT, the next most for the franchise is 69 by Sai Sudharsan.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>His rapid 35 off just 10 balls is now the highest score by a Gujarat Titans batter in the first 10 deliveries of an innings, surpassing the previous record held by Hardik Pandya.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>The 24-run over also marked Hazlewood\u2019s joint-most expensive in IPL history, highlighting the extent of Gill\u2019s dominance.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>He was eventually dismissed by Bhuvneshwar Kumar after scoring 43 off just 18 balls.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/ipl\/ipl-2026\/ipl-2026-shubman-gill-scripts-history-becomes-first-player-to-\/articleshow\/130642035.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat Titans&#8217; captain Shubman Gill (AP Photo) Shubman Gill scripted history with the bat, becoming the first player to smash 100 sixes for Gujarat Titans during their IPL 2026 clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.Earlier in the evening, GT\u2019s bowlers had set the tone by bundling out RCB for 155 in 19.2 overs, with the likes [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11050,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[263],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-11049","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports"},"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11049","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11049"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11049\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11050"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11049"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11049"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11049"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
