The Narendra Modi Stadium witnessed a masterclass in power-hitting as Tilak Varma etched his name into the history books. After Mumbai Indians were left reeling at 46/3 due to a fierce spell by Kagiso Rabada, Varma took charge. He accelerated from a steady anchor to an unstoppable force, reaching his maiden century in just 45 balls—equalling Sanath Jayasuriya’s record for the fastest hundred for the franchise.
His unbeaten 101 included 8 boundaries and 7 massive sixes, single-handedly propelling MI to a formidable 199. This performance wasn't just about the runs; it was about breaking MI's long-standing "Ahmedabad Curse," securing their first-ever win against GT at this venue.
