Gujarat Titans batsman Shubman Gill on Monday took the IPL by storm as he smashed his maiden century of the tournament against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Shubman scored a magnificent 101 off just 58 balls including 13 boundaries and one six to help his team post a mammoth total on the board. Shubman started his innings by hitting a 23-ball half-century, which came without smashing a single six. He scored four consecutive boundaries off Fazalhaq Farooqi's bowling in the powerplay.
