Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan both hit centuries in a record-equalling 210-run opening stand that helped Gujarat Titans defeat Chennai Super Kings by 35 runs in the Indian Premier League in Ahmedabad on Friday.
Chennai captain Ruturaj Gaikwad had won the toss and chosen to field but failed to capitalise as the Gujarat openers propelled the team to an imposing 231-3.
Chennai stumbled at the start of their innings and could only reach 196-8.
Chennai remain fourth in the table while Gujarat jump from last to eighth, keeping their hopes of qualifying for the next phase mathematically alive.
Gill and Sudharsan were quickly into their stride, racing to 58-0 in the first six overs of the game.
Sudharsan struck five fours and seven sixes in his 103 which came off just 51 balls.
Gill’s 104 was marginally slower, coming from 54 balls, but included nine fours and six sixes as both openers savaged the Chennai attack.
“We maximised every over and opportunity in front of us,” said Gill who was made player of the match.
