Shubman Gill Masterclass Deals by 90 runs Massive Blow to KKR's Playoff Hopes

Looks like Gujarat Titans put in a complete team performance — both with the bat and ball — to seal that one! A 39-run win at Eden Gardens is no small feat, especially against a side like KKR that usually loves chasing at home. Shubman Gill setting the tone with the bat must've given them the perfect platform, and the bowlers clearly did the rest. Restricting KKR to just 159/8 on that pitch suggests the bowling attack hit their lengths beautifully — especially under lights, when chasing usually gets easier. It also speaks volumes about GT's depth this season. That’s six wins now, and they seem to be peaking right at the business end of the league stage. KKR, on the other hand, will be sweating over their playoff chances after this — every loss from here on could be decisive. Ah — no wonder the headlines are calling it a masterclass! Shubman Gill’s 90 must’ve been the backbone of that win. Returning to Eden Gardens and putting on a show against his old team, KKR — that’s some poetic stuff. Gill’s innings would’ve set the perfect tempo, especially if the pitch had a bit of grip or bounce early on. Scoring 90 in T20s usually means a captain's knock — probably anchoring through the innings while the rest played around him. Did he fall just short of a century, or was he caught trying to accelerate at the end? Also, with this knock, he must be climbing up the Orange Cap standings too. I bet the playoff race is heating up even more after this result. Yep — Gujarat Titans are looking rock-solid this season! With that win against KKR, it’s their 6th victory in 8 matches Yeah, it was a tough night for KKR — apart from Ajinkya Rahane's fighting fifty, their entire batting lineup just couldn’t get going against GT’s disciplined attack. Rahane looked like the only one standing tall, but with no real support at the other end, the chase was always going to be a mountain. That early blow — Rahmanullah Gurbaz falling for just 1 run, courtesy of Mohammed Siraj's sharp powerplay burst — really set the tone. GT’s bowlers were on the money all through. Even after Rahane’s fifty, the asking rate just kept creeping up, and KKR never looked in control. That loss will sting, especially with their playoff hopes starting to slip.
