Shubman Gill breaks Sachin Tendulkar's record against SRH
Gill overtook Tendulkar's earlier record of scoring the fastest-ever half-century without scoring a six in the IPL. He did so by achieving the feat in 22 balls (also Gill's fastest-ever 50), as opposed to the Mumbai Indians legend who took 23 balls to cross the 50-run mark without hitting a six in an IPL clash against Delhi Capitals (then Delhi Daredevils) in 2010.
How has Shubman Gill performed this IPL season?
| Matches | Innings | Runs | Highest Score | Average | Strike Rate | 50s | 100s |
| 13 | 13 | 576 | 101 | 48.00 | 146.19 | 4 | 1 |
When will Shubman Gill play next?
GT and Gill will next travel to Bangalore to take on Royal Challengers Bangalore on May 21 at 7:30 pm IST in their last league stage match this season.
