Former India and Mumbai Indians skipper Sachin Tendulkar has flowered praise on the leading run scorer of the 2023 Indian Premier League, Shubman Gill.
“Shubman Gill’s performance this season has been nothing short of unforgettable, marked by two centuries that left an indelible impact,” Tendulkar on Twitter.
“What truly impressed me about Shubman’s batting was his remarkable temperament, unwavering calmness, hunger for runs and astute running between the wickets,” he further added.
Furthermore, Tendulkar also named Hardik Pandya and David Miller as the other two batters, who will be critical for Gujarat in the summit clash against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday.
Gill has scored 851 runs so far this season for the defending champions which includes four half centuries and three hundreds.
Gujarat, who finished top of the points table in the league stage, were bested by Chennai in Qualifier 1 earlier this week but beat Mumbai Indians in the second Qualifier to nab a place in the final for the second year in a row.
“Chennai also bat deep with MS Dhoni coming in as low as number 8, hence it could be a case of one team out-batting the other,” Tendulkar said of the four-time champions who will feature in their 10th IPL final on Sunday in Ahmedabad.
