On Tuesday, October 22, Surender Gill made headlines during UP Yoddhas' commanding clash against Bengaluru Bulls at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, Hyderabad. This match held extra significance as Gill faced his former captain and teammate, Pardeep Narwal, who now captains Bengaluru Bulls.
Gill was in exceptional form, particularly while raiding. He completed a Super 10 with 15 raid points in just 13 attempts. He was consistent throughout by having only two unsuccessful raids. His contribution didn’t stop there as he also made his presence felt on defense, collecting two tackle points. Gill's all-around effort helped UP Yoddhas crush Bengaluru Bulls 57-36.

This victory marked UP Yoddhas' second consecutive win in PKL 11, following their narrow 28-23 win over Dabang Delhi KC in their season opener. UP Yoddhas will now look to extend their winning streak when they face Bengal Warriorz on October 24.
