Shubman Gill Becomes Youngest Player To Reach 4,000 IPL Runs
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill etched his name in the record books by becoming the youngest player to cross the 4,000-run mark in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The milestone came during his knock against Lucknow Super Giants at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday, when he moved past the landmark with his 25th run.
The elegant right-hander reached the feat in 118 innings, making him the second-fastest Indian to get to 4,000 IPL runs, behind KL Rahul, who accomplished it in 105 innings. Among all players, only Chris Gayle (112 innings), David Warner (114) and Jos Buttler (116), besides Rahul, have reached the milestone quicker than Gill.
Gill’s consistency has been a hallmark of his IPL career, with the opener maintaining an average close to 40 and a strike rate around 140. He began his journey in the league with Kolkata Knight Riders in 2018, representing the franchise for four seasons and scoring 1,417 runs in 58 matches.
