Shubman Gill and Mohammed Shami speak after IPL 2023
After their side, Gujarat Titans lost, the likes of Gill and Shami spoke about how much their individual awards mean to them.
“Means a lot. The hard work that I’ve put in is going in the right direction for me. I think it was very important to start well and I started well. By the business end of the tournament, I converted the starts into big ones. I practiced a lot of [sixes] and I changed my technique a little bit for the death. The SRH hundred was about control and the MI was knowing the situation and taking on the opposition. For any batsman, it was important to anticipate and I did that,” Gill said after winning the Orange Cap.
“People watching enjoy it a lot but it is difficult for those doing it. Only two fielders outside, it is a challenge. There is extra responsibility in T20s. I am also a human, the white ball and red ball make a big difference, and you have to adjust,” Shami said after winning the Purple Cap.
