The 25-year-old scored a brilliant 50-ball 84 in the first innings to help GT post a massive 209\/4 in 20 overs.<\/p>\n<p>However, Ishant Sharma surprisingly replaced him as the Impact Sub for their fielding innings. Rashid Khan took over captaincy duties as Gill watched the proceedings from the dugout.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about not taking the field in the second innings after the game, Gill said to the broadcasters (Via Cricbuzz):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Felt a little back spasm in my back and we have a game couple of days after this, so the physio didn&#8217;t want to take a chance.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/cricket\/gujarat-titans-team-players-list-squad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">GT<\/a> will play their next game three days later against the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Friday, May 2.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8220;They took the game away from us in the powerplay&#8221; &#8211; Shubman Gill on GT&#8217;s loss to RR<\/h2>\n<p>Unfortunately for Gill, his spectacular knock went in vain as RR stunned GT by chasing down 210 in a mere 15.5 overs with eight wickets remaining. Gill admitted that his bowlers got blown away by the RR openers in the powerplay, where they raced to 87\/0.<\/p>\n<p>14-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/vaibhav-suryavanshi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Vaibhav Suryavanshi<\/a> had the entire cricketing universe on their feet with a match-winning 38-ball 101. He reached his century in just 35 balls, making it the second fastest in IPL history behind Chris Gayle (31 deliveries).<\/p>\n<p>Suryavanshi also became the youngest-ever cricketer to score a T20 century.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;They took the game away from us in the powerplay and credit to them for that. There were a couple of things that we could have done better but it&#8217;s very easy to sit out and say those things. Some chances came early our way, couldn&#8217;t grab those but in hindsight I think there are some areas that we need to work on as a group. (On Vaibhav Suryavanshi) It was his day. His hitting was just tremendous and he made full use of his day,&#8221; said Gill (Via aforementioned source).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The youngster was also well supported by fellow opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored an unbeaten 70 off 40 balls.<\/p>\n<p>It was only GT&#8217;s third loss in nine matches, keeping them in the third spot on the points table.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/20214-1714637345-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Venkatesh Ravichandran&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nVenkatesh has been writing cricket news, listicle and feature articles for Sportskeeda for over a year.
