CSK vs GT Final: IPL 2023: Young batting sensation, Shubman Gill, has been invincible in this year’s IPL. The Gujarat Titans’ opener has already 851 runs this season which included three classy centuries in the tournament. Gill’s sensational season has reminded many fans of Virat Kohli’s 2016 season where the Royal Challengers Bangalore batter amassed 973 runs in 16 matches. Kohli is the first and only batter to touch the elusive 900-run mark in a single IPL campaign but young Gill has a chance to enter the super-elite list.

Gill, who currently stands third on the list, needs 123 runs to breach Virat Kohli’s 973-run mark. With the form Shubman is carrying, it is quite possible for the batter to score another ton. Gill has a stunning record at Narendra Modi Stadium and a chance to break Virat Kohli’s record on the night of the final will provide more motivation to him.
MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja also eyeing few milestones
Apart from Shubman Gill, CSK skipper MS Dhoni and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja also have a chance to complete a few milestones.
