Shubman Gill Used ‘F’-Word While Celebrating His IPL 2024 Century During GT vs CSK?
Following his century, there was a huge jump and a punch in the air and it seemed like he used the 'F'-word as well.
Ahmedabad: Young Shubman Gill was over the moon on Friday after smashing a ton in the IPL 2024 match against Chennai Super Kings at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad. Following his century, there was a huge jump and a punch in the air and it seemed like he used the ‘F’-word as well. Now, it remains to be seen if he gets penalised for it or not. Gill was in top form as he hit a blistering 104 off 55 balls to help the Titans post a mammoth 231 for three in 20 overs. It was a shortish delivery from Tushar Deshapande has forced a mishit from Gill, who was eventually caught in the deep.

Now, it remains to be seen if Gill gets penalised or not for his action after reaching the milestone.
Pushed into batting first on a placid pitch, Gill hit nine fours and six sixes at a strike rate of 189.09 to hit his fourth IPL hundred in Ahmedabad.
On the other hand, Sudarshan, opening the batting after Wriddhiman Saha was ruled out due to a niggle, slammed five fours and seven sixes at a strike rate of 201.96 to get his maiden IPL century.
Gill and Sudarshan had a 210-run opening partnership, which equals the record for the highest opening stand held by Quinton de Kock and K.L. Rahul, who added exactly 210 runs for the first wicket against Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2022.
After the duo fell, Gujarat Titans managed just one boundary in the last three overs as CSK kept them below 250, which looked like a sure-shot possibility at one point. Only Tushar Deshpande was amongst the wicket-takers for CSK with his 2-33. CSK now have to pull off the highest chase in their IPL history to bag two crucial points for making their path to entering playoffs easily.
Gill made his intentions clear from the opening over by square-driving and lofting Mitchell Santer for four and six respectively in the opening over. Sudharsan greets Shardul Thakur with a lofted six, before swiping Tushar Deshpande for another maximum. The duo then hit a couple more boundaries as they added 58 runs in the power-play.
