This achievement makes GT only the third team in IPL history to reach the final in back-to-back seasons.

Notably, Gill’s impressive strike rate of 215 during this innings is likely to please the selectors of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and silence his critics.

Despite previous criticisms of his ability to excel in T20 cricket, Gill has demonstrated.

Virat Kohli’s record under threat

In 2016, Indian cricket’s maestro, Virat Kohli, reached a similar pinnacle, amassing an astonishing 973 runs from 16 matches, boasting an average of 81.08 and an impressive strike rate of 152.03.

During that IPL edition, Kohli smashed 7 fifties and 4 centuries, establishing himself as the record holder for the most runs and hundreds in a single IPL season.

However, Shubman Gill now has his sights set on both of these remarkable records. Gill needs just 123 runs to surpass Kohli’s tally of 973 runs, and if he achieves this feat, he will also surpass the record for the most centuries in a season.

Rohit Sharma in awe of Shubman Gill

Despite his team’s loss, Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Rohit Sharma couldn’t resist praising Shubman Gill for playing one of the finest innings of IPL 2023.

Rohit acknowledged Gill’s knock as the defining factor that set the two teams apart, while expressing hope that Gill carries this form into the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) Final for the Indian team.

During the post-match presentation ceremony, Rohit remarked, “We needed a batsman who could emulate Shubman’s performance and carry us till the end.

Anything can happen in a match played on a good wicket with one side being shorter. Credit must be given where it is due, Gujarat played exceptionally well.”
