Shubman Gill achieves a new record during the Rajasthan Royals vs Gujarat Titans (RR vs GT) IPL 2026 match at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Surpassing legends like Virat Kohli, the GT captain now becomes the only player in the history of the league to complete 400 runs in consecutive seasons.
According to the stats from the IPL 2020 season, the top-order batter has scored more than 400 runs in each season.
He has been in control since the beginning of today’s match against the Rajasthan Royals and completed another half-century for the Gujarat Titans as well in IPL 2026. Inside the eleventh over of the first innings, Shubman Gill took a single to touch the 50-run mark; 4th half-century for Gill in the ongoing season. No celebration; he only changed his gloves after scoring the half-century.
With Gill and Sai Sudharshan at the top of the batting order, GT secured another 100-plus runs partnership. It was their 6th century, which stands for the opening wicket. GT lost their first wicket against the Rajasthan Royals on 118 runs.
Most centuries stand for the opening wicket in the IPL6 - David Warner & Shikhar Dhawan (SRH)6 - Abhishek Sharma & Travis Head (SRH)6 - Shubman Gill & Sai Sudharsan (GT)*5 - David Warner & Jonny Bairstow (SRH)5 - Faf du Plessis & Virat Kohli (RCB)
The opening pair of GT stitched a well-crafted opening stand
At the home ground of the Rajasthan Royals, the Titans went to bat first after losing the toss. Keeping the nature of the pitch in mind, RR chose an extra spinner, in the form of Ravi Bishnoi, in the combination for tonight’s match. It is worth mentioning that Riyan Parag is not playing today, and Yashasvi Jaiswal is leading RR. At the toss, Jaiswal informed that Parag has a hamstring issue.
From the beginning of the innings, the opening pair of GT, Shubham Gill and Sai Sidharshan, was in complete control and handled the opposing bowling attack very well. While Sudharshan was dismissed shortly after scoring his half-century, Gill continued his dominance in the middle.
Gill and Sudharshan are likely to break RCB's two records
Sudharsdhan and Gill have made another record through their outstanding partnership, and they are only one step away from breaking RCB’s legendary records. For any wickets in the IPL, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers recorded the most centuries in a stand.
The pair of Kohli and Villiers created a 10 100+ runs stand for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Between Chris Gayle and Kohli, RCB stitched 9 hundred-plus run partnerships for Bengaluru. Sasi Sudharshan and Shubman Gill also have nine 100+ runs partnership records for the Gujarat Titans, and are likely to break RCB’s records soon.
