Shubman Gill predicts 300 runs possible in IPL matches

Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill has a bold prediction for the IPL 2025 season. He believes that teams could start scoring 300 runs in a single T20 match. He attributes this potential to the Impact Player rule and the rise of new talents. Gill shared his thoughts in an interview with JioHotstar ahead of the IPL, which starts on March 25. He noted that the Titans will face Punjab Kings in their first match of the season. Since becoming captain last year, Gill has gained a reputation as a skilled and popular player in the league. “The pace of the game has reached a point where it feels like we could score 300 in a match,” Gill stated. He highlighted that last year, they nearly reached that mark several times. He explained that the Impact Player rule adds excitement, making IPL matches more entertaining. Gill also emphasized the thrill of watching new players shine in the tournament. “You constantly witness underrated talents delivering exceptional performances,” he added. He mentioned that the frequent matches keep players engaged, but injuries can complicate things when key players are out. On the topic of captaincy, Gill discussed how he balances his roles as a leader and a key batter. He believes it’s important to focus on batting without letting captaincy responsibilities interfere. “Batting is an individual battle between you and the bowler,” he explained. Gill also recognized that he sometimes overthought his captaincy, which affected his performance. He aims to keep his batting and leadership roles separate to maintain a clear mindset on the field.
