Shubman Gill, the explosive opening batsman for Gujarat Titans, is currently in scintillating form as he holds the coveted Orange Cap in IPL 2023. With a remarkable tally of 851 runs in 16 matches, he continues to top the list as the highest run-scorer in the tournament. Recently, Gill took to Twitter to share a funny and stylish picture of himself wearing an orange cap. The picture has garnered significant attention and engagement from fans and followers. In the picture, Gill can be seen in a relaxed pose, with an orange cap covering his face. She added a touch of creativity to her post by accompanying the photo with a caption containing an orange heart and sleep emoticons.
Gill scored 129 runs in just 60 balls, an innings that included 7 fours and 10 sixes respectively. The fact that this knock came at a strike rate of 215 should please the BCCI selectors and give an answer to their critics. Gill has been criticized for not cracking the T20 batting code but this season he has also upped his strike rate game.
Gill went past Faf du Plessis (730 runs) to top the Orange Cap list this season. Thanks to his blistering knock against Mumbai Indians (MI), he now has 851 runs in 16 matches, scored at an average of 60.79 and a strike rate of 156.43 respectively. The GT opener is all set to end the season as the leading run-scorer as no one is in sight to come close to his numbers.
In 2016, Virat Kohli, another superstar of Indian cricket, reached a similar peak by scoring a total of 973 runs in 16 matches at an average of 81.08 and a strike rate of 152.03. In this edition of IPL, Kohli had scored 7 fifties and 4 IPL hundreds. No one has scored more runs and hundreds in a season of IPL than him. Gill is behind both these records. Gill needs 123 more runs to break Kohli’s record of 973 runs. If he does this, he will also break the record for the highest ton.
MI skipper Rohit Sharma lost the battle but could not stop himself from praising Gill for playing one of the finest innings of IPL 2023. Championship (WTC) final is not far away. Rohit said, “We wanted a batsman like Shubman batted till the end, and you never know – a side small and the wicket was good, anything can happen, credit where given, Gujarat played well. ” Presentation ceremony after the match.
