Thankfully, it’s all working out for me: Shubman Gill
Gujarat Titans batter Shubman Gill has been in terrific form in the 2023 Indian Premeir League. He notched up big scores but was missing out on the three-figure mark in the first half. However, the right-handed batter has scored two centuries in the business end of the tournament. Talking about his performance, Shubman Gill said,
“I am in good form, it’s about getting a start and then converting it into a big one. In the first half of the IPL, I was missing out on those big ones. I was getting a lot of 40s and 50s. Thankfully, it’s all working out for me in the business end of the IPL.”
