Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill says that scoring 300 runs in IPL is no longer impossible.
Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill He believes that the way teams reached 250+ scores many times in the last season, this time the 300 mark can also be crossed.
He said, “Now teams have started playing aggressively from the beginning, there is no hesitation in achieving big targets. If this trend continues, then scoring 300 runs is just a matter of time.”
IPL 2024 saw many high-scoring matches, but the most sensational match was when Punjab Kings chased down the target of 262 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders with just 8 balls to spare.
Referring to this match, Gill said, “Now no score can be considered safe. If teams are easily scoring and chasing 250+ runs, then a score of 300 runs can also become a reality soon.”
The biggest reason for this change is the impact player rule, which has given teams the freedom to adopt new strategies. Now the captain can make changes in the batting or bowling lineup as per the need, which is giving the batsmen a chance to play freely.
Emphasizing on this, Gill said, “The impact player rule has changed the entire game of IPL. Now teams are thinking of scoring big at all costs, which has made the matches even more exciting.”
However, Gill also admitted that the fitness and injuries of the players can become the biggest challenge in this path.
He said, “Back-to-back matches and constant traveling in IPL affect the body. If important players get injured, the team’s strategy can be affected. But if Gujarat Titans remain fully fit and ready, we will be the first team to score 300 runs!”
As a captain, Shubman Gill is constantly working to improve himself.
He said, “Being a good leader does not only mean captaincy, but also understanding every player in the team and increasing their confidence. When the captain stands firmly with his team, its effect is directly seen on the performance.”
Gill believes that with the right environment and motivation, any team can do wonders, and Gujarat Titans is moving forward with this thinking.
