Gujarat Titans’ charismatic skipper, Shubman Gill, has added yet another glorious feather to his cap. Already celebrated as the franchise's most prolific batsman and leader, Gill has officially cemented his status as their most elite fielder as well.
The historic milestone was unlocked during the high-stakes Qualifier 2 of IPL 2026 against Rajasthan Royals. With a sharp, decisive catch to dismiss dangerous batsman Dhruv Jurel, Gill secured a monumental defensive record for the franchise.
