In a stunning display of skill and determination, Shubman Gill, the young batting sensation, has etched his name in the annals of IPL history. Gill became the fourth player ever to achieve the remarkable milestone of scoring 800 runs in a single season of the Indian Premier League. The only other cricketers to accomplish this feat before Gill were the illustrious Virat Kohli, Jos Buttler, and David Warner.
Gill thrashes MI in Qualifier 2
Gill’s extraordinary journey to this milestone reached its pinnacle during the enthralling Qualifier 2 match against the formidable Mumbai Indians. In that match, he unleashed his incredible talent to score a sensational century and secure his place in the record books.
Notably, Gill’s exceptional performance in the IPL 2023 has been a consistent theme throughout the tournament.

This year, Gill’s bat has been on fire in international cricket, with him scoring centuries in all formats of the game. To add to his ever-growing list of accolades, Gill even achieved the remarkable feat of a double hundred in ODIs, when he pummeled New Zealand’s bowling attack. Clearly, Gill has been riding a wave of success, and he seamlessly carried this momentum into the IPL 2023.
Gillâs sensational season
Before the momentous Qualifier 2 clash, Gill had already amassed an impressive tally of 722 runs in just 15 matches, with an outstanding average of 55.54 and a strike rate of 149.17. His run-scoring spree included two consecutive centuries in the last two league matches, leaving spectators in awe of his batting prowess. Gill’s performance has made him the undisputed highest run-scorer for GT this season, marking it as his most prolific campaign in the history of the competition.
As fans eagerly anticipate the outcome of the IPL 2023, Shubman Gill‘s remarkable achievements continue to cement his status as one of the most promising young cricketers in the world. His contribution to the game and his team’s success serves as an inspiration for aspiring cricketers, solidifying his place in the pantheon of cricketing legends.
