Gill's 86 Dethrones Kohli as Varun Hits KKR Milestone

Gill picked up the ball from outside off and lofted it over cover. Four. Then another, wristier this time. KKR's spinners watched from mid-off as Gujarat Titans edged closer to 181.

He fell short of the target, caught by Green off Arora for 86 off 50 balls—eight fours, four sixes. GT still won by five wickets in 19.4 overs at Motera. Gill's knock lifted him to 251 runs, past Kohli's 228 for the Orange Cap. His third win pushed GT into the top four.

Varun Chakravarthy leaked 34 in four overs but snared two. Those strikes—Buttler and Sundar—took him to 102 for KKR. First Indian to 100 wickets for the franchise, in 88 matches. KKR stayed stuck on zero from six.
