On Thursday, Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 89 against Punjab Kings helped the Gujarat Titans skipper to move up to 4th in the Orange Cap race with 164 runs.

Virat Kohli, meanwhile, still led the charts after scoring 22 runs in the match against Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday. Before Tuesday’s game against LSG, Kohli was tied with Riyan Parag on 181 runs. However, Kohli was second in the standings based on other parameters but went over the RR batter even as RCB fell to a 28-run defeat to the Lucknow franchise.
