On April 24, Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill made history as the second-youngest and fastest Indian to reach 100 matches in the Indian Premier League.
Gill surpasses Virat Kohli to become the youngest Indian to play 100 IPL games, but not on this. While playing against the Delhi Capitals, led by Rishabh Pant, in the ongoing IPL 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, the Indian opener accomplished this achievement.
After completing the task swiftly, Gill becomes one of the select group of IPL captains, along with Hardik, Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, and Pant.
