Gujarat Titans have now become the first team to enter the 12 points club in IPL season 16 after they secured their fourth straight victory on Saturday. Gujarat defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by 7 wickets at the Eden Gardens. Kolkata, who were put to bat first by Gujarat, presented the target of 180 runs which Gujarat successfully chased in 17.5 overs as the fiery duo of Shankar-Miller finished yet another match.
Thanks to Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s power-packed innings, Kolkata were successful in putting up a decent total on the board but Gujarat’s batting unit outshone his splendid knock as they successfully chased the target with 13 balls to spare. Leading the batting unit, Vijay Shankar remained unbeaten at 51 while Shubman Gill fell short of his half century by 1 run and scored 49. David Miller also played a crucial role during the last overs and scored an unbeaten 32 off 18 balls.
