king and Prince of Indian Cricket

Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill were two of the most prolific batsmen in the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL). Kohli, the former captain of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), finished the season as the leading run-scorer with 668 runs at an average of 55.22. Gill, the opening batsman for the Gujarat Titans (GT), was second on the list with 637 runs at an average of 52.88.

Kohli and Gill both had several standout performances throughout the season. Kohli scored three centuries, including two in consecutive matches, while Gill hit two centuries of his own. Both batsmen also showed
their ability to score quickly, with Kohli hitting 10 sixes and Gill hitting 12.

Kohli's performance in the 2023 IPL was particularly impressive given that he had struggled in recent years. He had not scored a century in the IPL since 2019 and had only averaged 30.41 in the previous two seasons. However, he returned to form in 2023, scoring runs at a strike rate of 137.40.

Gill's performance in the 2023 IPL was also a breakthrough for the young batsman. He had previously played for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) but had not been able to establish himself in the team. However, he made the most of his opportunity with GT, scoring runs at a strike rate of 142.05.

The performances of Kohli and Gill were a major factor in the success of their respective teams. RCB finished the season in fourth place, while GT won the title for the first time. Both batsmen will be hoping to continue their good form in the 2024 IPL.
