On Friday, May 26 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Shubman Gill maintained his phenomenal success in the IPL 2023 by scoring his third century of the season. GT posted a tremendous total of 233/3 in their allocated 20 overs thanks in large part to the opening batsman for Gujarat Titans, who struck 129 runs off 60 balls with seven fours and 10 sixes.
In response, Mumbai were bowled out for 171, and Gujarat won the match by 62 runs to go to their second straight final. Gill scored 851 runs in 16 innings, making him the season’s leading runner-up in that category. The GT opener told the announcers after his brilliant century that he never expected to be wearing the IPL Orange Cap.
The 23-year-old went on to say that his innings were the greatest of his IPL career. He went on to say that he improved his hitting after making some mechanical adjustments in late December.

Gill mentioned that he had actually gone to the washroom to fix his hair and had not anticipated wearing the orange cap. He shared that it was during the over in which he hit three sixes that he sensed it was his fortunate day. His aim was to maximize his scoring opportunities, emphasizing the importance of belief, especially after a successful international season.
According to Gill, his performance in the match marked his best innings in the IPL thus far. He reflected on the time when he underwent a shift in gears after the West Indies tour last year. In 2021, he experienced an injury leading up to the IPL, which kept him sidelined for a few months. It was during this period that he began recognizing areas for improvement and made certain technical adjustments in his batting around December. He mentioned that he received a call-up for the New Zealand series soon after the T20 World Cup, which further motivated him to refine his skills.
