Shubman Gill Wins Orange Cap in IPL 2023
IPL Orange Cap Winner 2023: Shubman Gill of the Gujarat Titans won the Orange Cap in IPL 2023 after scoring 890 runs in 17 games. He had four fifties and three centuries. Throughout the competition, Gill was in terrific form, scoring runs at a strike rate of 157.80. He was particularly impressive in the second half of the tournament, scoring 600 runs in his last 8 matches.
Gill’s victory in the Orange Cap race was a major turnaround for the young batsman. He had a disappointing 2022 season, scoring just 293 runs in 14 matches. However, he bounced back in style in 2023, proving that he is one of the most talented batsmen in the world. Gill’s performance in IPL 2023 will be a major boost for India ahead of the T20 World Cup later this year. He is now one of the leading contenders to open the batting for India in the tournament.
