Shubman Gill is considered one of the most gifted batters in this present generation, and his hunger for runs is the reason behind the same. He is a highly talented young batsman who has taken the world by storm in both the IPL and international cricket.
The year 2023 was prolific for Gill, as he scored over 2000 runs across formats in international cricket and a jaw-dropping 890 runs in a single IPL season for the Gujarat Titans (GT). All these made the Titan’s job easier in naming him the skipper of the 2024 edition at just 24 years of age.
Here is a glimpse of how he has grown as a batter since his debut in the IPL in the 2018 edition for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
