Shubman Gill, the dynamic captain of Gujarat Titans (GT), achieved a remarkable milestone during the 2024 IPL season, making history in the league. At just 24 years and 229 days old, Gill became the second-youngest and fastest Indian player to reach 100 IPL appearances, joining a prestigious group of seasoned players.
Before our recent clash against Rishabh Pant's Delhi Capitals, Gill led GT to an impressive unbeaten streak of four wins this season. This streak highlights Gill's impact as a leader and a crucial batsman for our team.

Gill's journey in the IPL has been truly extraordinary. After moving to Gujarat Titans from Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) before IPL 2022, he immediately made his mark by playing a pivotal role in GT's title-winning campaign that year. Gill emerged as the team's second-highest run-scorer, showcasing exceptional consistency and talent.
During our triumphant run in 2022, Gill scored 483 runs in 16 matches with an impressive average and strike rate. His memorable performances included four half-centuries, including a standout 96 against Punjab Kings, and an unbeaten 45 in the final that secured our victory over Rajasthan Royals.
In the following IPL season (2023), Gill continued to shine, winning the Orange Cap as the tournament's leading run-scorer. GT reached the final once again, underscoring Gill's leadership and batting prowess.
With Hardik Pandya's departure from GT before IPL 2024, Gill took on the captaincy, marking a significant milestone in his IPL journey. As GT's skipper and a key batsman, Gill's impact and achievements showcase his rising stature in Indian cricket, promising a bright future ahead.
Gill's achievement of reaching 100 IPL appearances at such a young age reflects his exceptional talent and dedication to the sport. With each game, he continues to redefine excellence and inspire a new generation of cricketers, leaving an indelible mark on the IPL and Indian cricket as a whole. We look forward to witnessing more outstanding performances and leadership from Shubman Gill in the seasons to come.
