IPL Playoffs 2023: In the Indian Premier League 2023, Gujarat Titans’ explosive batsman Shubman Gill’s bat has thundered a lot this season so far. Gill has so far scored 722 runs in 15 matches in the tournament with 2 centuries and 4 half-centuries. During this, his average was 55.54 and the strike rate was 149.17. Royal Challengers Bangalore captain and opener batsman Faf du Plessis has scored 730 runs in 14 matches. Gill is now just 8 runs behind him and Gill has to score only nine runs to overtake Du Plessis. If Gill scores 9 runs against Qualifier 2 on May 26, then the Orange Cap will come on Gill’s head. Faf du Plessis is ahead in the Orange Cap race, but RCB has no matches to play now and is out of the IPL. In such a situation, it is almost certain to snatch the crown of Orange Cap from his head.
Faf du Plessis leads the battle for the Orange Cap
