Opting to bat first after winning the toss, KKR posted a complete of 180 runs before being bowled out on the ultimate ball of their innings. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The centerpiece of their performance was a superb 79 from Cameron Green, who struck seven boundaries and 4 sixes to maintain the scoreboard moving. Nevertheless, the remainder of the KKR lineup struggled to seek out rhythm against a disciplined Gujarat bowling attack. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Kagiso Rabada was the standout bowler for the Titans, claiming three wickets for 29 runs, while Mohammed Siraj provided crucial early breakthroughs to stifle the KKR momentum. The chase was defined by a captain\u2019s knock from Shubman Gill, who anchored the innings with an excellent 86 off 50 deliveries. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">His composed batting ensured that Gujarat remained in charge of the required run rate for a lot of the match. <\/span>Listed below are some twitter reactions:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83e\udd76 GILL ON FIRE \ud83d\udd25<\/p>\n<p>Shubman Gill dominating for Gujarat Titans:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 70 (45) vs DC<br \/>\u2022 56 (40) vs LSG<br \/>\u2022 86 (50) vs KKR<\/p>\n<p>Unstoppable form, leading from the front and owning every chase. \ud83e\udee1\ud83d\udca5<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ShubmanGill?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ShubmanGill<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GT?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GT<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IPL2026?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IPL2026<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Cricket?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Cricket<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/OrangeCap?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#OrangeCap<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cZ11U62FmH\">pic.twitter.com\/cZ11U62FmH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CricInfoX (@InfoCricX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/InfoCricX\/status\/2045200968929939924?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 17, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">KKR needs to be because of PBKS vs KKR match, for that KKR have atleast 1 point now.
