Shubman Gill got widely praised for his third century in four IPL season 2023 matches, including the second qualifier against the Mumbai Indians, which helped the defending champions get to their second consecutive final. Gill smacked 129 in 60 balls and led the Titans to a huge target of 233/3. He hit seven fours and 10 sixes.
While talking about Shubman Gill, Indian batting legend and former captain Sunil Gavaskar said that "it is very difficult to find more adjectives apart from saying that the cricketing world is at his feet. The sky is the limit for him. That's all I can say."
He further said that it is the certainty of Gill's foot movement that is helping him score these big runs. He said, "And his feet, really. The certainty of the feet's movement The certainty of playing forward and back is so important and essential for a good batter. At the same time, keep your balance as well, and that's what he does."
He also added, "If he keeps doing that, runs are going to flow. Because there is a correctness about his cricket and a correctness about his batting. You sometimes feel like he has played across the line. He hasn't really played across the line. He has played at the very last moment. He hasn't been wild trying to play across the line.
While concluding his statement, he said, "This is the third century he has had in this IPL. He has improved with every inning. Now he has 129, the highest score in this year's IPL. So the sky is the limit, and he is going up and up. So that's good news for not just the Gujarat Titans but for Indian cricket.
