Shubman Gill, the opener for the Gujarat Titans, has set the IPL 2023 on fire with three hundreds. With 851 runs so far this year, he has a claim on the IPL 2023 Orange Cap. Gill hit 10 sixes and 7 fours on 60 balls to score 129 runs and put a lot of pressure on the Mumbai Indians, who were trying to reach a goal of 234. In Qualifier 2, the defending champions beat the five-time winners by 62 runs after the five-time champions were bowled out for 171 in 18.2 overs.
Shubman Gill, a young opener with a lot of potential, has been hitting well. Vijay Shankar, an all-rounder on his side and the defending champion for the Gujarat Titans (GT), praised the opener’s ability to find gaps during the powerplay. Shubman Gill has hit 33 sixes, which is tied for the most in this IPL in 2023. The 23-year-old is the second Indian hitter after Virat Kohli to hit three or more tons in a season.
He is currently one of the best cricket players: Vijay Shankar
“He has a great work ethic, which is why he is one of the best players right now. He hits those sixes like he’s batting in Test cricket. How he trains is an important thing to look at. Every time he practices, he goes out and does whatever he wants. He practices with a goal in mind. When he shows up for a game, it’s great to see him get going right from the first ball, Shankar said in the press conference after Qualifier 2.
“I think his biggest strength is that he can both hit sixes and find gaps in the powerplay. He can hit sixes. In one game, he scored 90 (101 against SRH) without hitting a single six. He can do both, and he knows when to use each skill, which is a sign of a good cricket player, he said.
In Qualifier 1, CSK beat GT by 15 runs at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. In Qualifier 2, the Titans, captained by Hardik Pandya, beat the Mumbai Indians by 62 runs to win their second straight final. But in the four games that both teams have played against each other so far, GT is ahead because they have won three games and CSK only one.
