At the Narendra Modi Stadium, GT defeated the Delhi Capitals by a commanding seven wickets prior to the encounter. Gill had a poor day at bat, being dismissed for just seven runs, but Jos Buttler’s undefeated 97 and his 119-run partnership with Sherfane Rutherford helped the Titans knock down a 204-run total. In November 2023, Ishant and his spouse, Pratima Singh, a former basketball star, welcomed their daughter, who is noteworthy.

On Monday, however, GT and KKR faced off in Match 39 of the season at Kolkata’s famed Eden Gardens. By choosing to bowl first, KKR hoped to exert pressure on the leaders as soon as possible. Gill and Sai Sudharsan, his opening partner, however, maintained their excellent play. By the twelfth over, the scorecard for the visiting team was 113/0. Sudharsan reached his half-century, and Gill looked in form as he scored his third fifty of the year.
GT’s early dominance made things difficult, even though KKR was determined to recover following a disappointing season in which they only won three of seven games. Despite their best efforts, Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy were defeated by the GT opening pair.
