Gujarat routs defending champion Kolkata in IPL

The table-topping Gujarat Titans handed the defending champion Kolkata Knight Riders a 39-run drubbing in the Indian Premier League.

Captain Shubman Gill made 90 off 55 balls, and his opening partner Sai Sudharsan scored his fifth 50-plus score with 52 in Gujarat’s challenging total of 198-3.

The Gujarat spinners stifled Kolkata for 159-8 and lost their third home game.

“It’s tough to have a perfect game,” Gill said. “But you have to find a way to win the game, and that’s what we’re good at.”
