The IPL 2023 Qualifier 2 between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Mumbai Indians (MI) saw many batting and bowling records getting tumbled. Shubman Gill got his third hundred of the season while also taking the lead in the Orange Cap race. Gill stroked 129 off 60 balls which included 7 fours and 10 sixes respectively. Not to forget, his 129 is also the highest individual scores in IPL playoffs, toppling Virender Sehwag's record of 122 which he achieved in 2014 while playing for Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings. 

At the same time, GT bowler Mohit Sharma bowled a very crucial spell in the match, finishing with figures of 5 for 10 in the four overs. Cricketing records aside, the live streaming partner JioCinema also broke one record.
