Former Mumbai Indians skipper and now mentor, Sachin Tendulkar has posted a long note praising Shubman Gill. Apart from this, the former also praised his own side and the defending champions, Gujarat Titans. In the long note posted on Twitter, the 2011 World Cup winner started by praising Gill. Notably, Gill’s hundred against RCB helped MI reach the playoffs. On the other hand, Gill’s hundred against MI kicked the former champions out of the tournament.
“Shubman Gill’s performance this season has been nothing short of unforgettable, marked by two centuries that left an indelible impact. One century ignited @mipaltan’s hopes, while the other dealt them a crushing blow. Such is the unpredictable nature of cricket! What truly impressed me about Shubman’s batting was his remarkable temperament, unwavering calmness, hunger for runs and astute running between the wickets.
The 2013 IPL winner added that Gill’s innings provided the Titans with the right total batting first. The former further added that the likes of Tilak Verma and Suryakumar Yadav brought MI back into the game briefly.
“In high-scoring encounters, there are always decisive moments that shape the outcome, and Shubman’s exceptional acceleration from the 12th over onwards propelled @gujarat_titans to a monumental total. It was a display of his capacity to seize momentum and make a profound impact on the game. Likewise, Mumbai briefly got back into the game with @TilakV9’s blistering 24 runs against @MdShami11 and were alive till @surya_14kumar got out.
Gujarat Titans are a formidable side: Sachin Tendulkar
The right-hander, Tendulkar further added that the defending champions, GT are a formidable side in the upcoming game against CSK.
“Gujarat are a formidable side and the wickets of @ShubmanGill @hardikpandya7 & @DavidMillerSA12 will be key for Chennai tonight. @ChennaiIPL also bat deep with @msdhoni coming in as low as number 8, hence it could be a case of one team out-batting the other. It’s going to be an interesting Final to watch. #IPL2023.”
Well summarised paaji. Piyush Chawla being the best bowler for MI this season, couldn't bowl a single dot ball in his spell of 3 overs thanks to the class of Shubman Gill. Be it whatever format, one thing which a bowler doesn't like is to bowl to different batter every next ball.

Superstar @ShubmanGill indeed has stood up and stood out in this #IPL – @hardikpandya7 as captain has come of age! There is great organisational skills in the @gujarat_titans approach. Strong across all lines makes them contenders on Paper and Pitch. #MumbaiIndians came second…
