Kolkata: Shubman Gill was back at Eden Gardens, but not as a Knight Rider – he was featuring for Gujarat Titans on Tuesday against Rajasthan Royals in the all-important Qualifier 1. While expectations were high from the ex-KKR batter at the venue, he did not disappoint. Gill stroked a classy 21-ball 35 to get Gujarat off to a good start in the 189 chase. The Titans lost Wriddhiman Saha early in the piece and hence it was important for Shubman to steady things.

Following the seven-wicket win over Rajasthan, Gill claimed Eden Gardens and Kolkata for always being nice to him.
