Over the past two seasons, Shubman Gill has emerged as one of the Indian Premier League’s (IPL) top hitters. Since joining GT, the star batter has established himself as a formidable hitter. He is captaining his team in the 17th league season, making history as one of the league’s youngest captains. Thus far in the league, GT has had a mixed record. They were down and out at one point in the season’s opening game. They surprised the audience by returning when no one had anticipated.
At one point, Dewald Brevis and Naman Dhir were playing well, but the GT bowlers caused a spectacular collapse that allowed GT to defeat MI by a thrilling 6-run margin. They never entered the game against CSK in their season’s second match. CSK scored an incredible 206 runs in the game. The home team’s bowlers were brought to the dry cleaners. There was absolutely no recovery. Eventually, GT’s batters were unable to influence the outcome of the game.
