IPL 2023 Orange Cap Winner: Shubman Gill eclipses Jos Buttler's record, falls short of Virat Kohli's mark

IPL 2023 Orange Cap Winner: Gujarat Titans opener Shubman Gill's glorious run at IPL 2023 came to an end after he scored 39 runs off 20 balls against Chennai Super Kings in the title clash. But with his short-and-sweet innings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad today (May 29), he wrote his name in the history of IPL record books as the 23-year-old became the second highest run getter in a single IPL season. He completed his campaign in IPL 2023 with a mammoth aggregate of 890 runs in 17 matches.

Gill fell 83 runs short of Virat Kohli's record of 973 runs in 16 matches, most runs in a single season, which the Royal Challengers Bangalore batsman set in IPL 2016.

However, with today's knock against Chennai, Gill eclipsed Rajasthan Royals opener Jos Buttler's record, who had amassed 863 runs in 17 matches in IPL 2022.  

Gill piled up 890 runs with an excellent average of 59.33 and a strike rate of 157.80.

He fired 3 centuries and 5 fifties with 129 being his highest.

David Warner (for Sunrisers Hyderabad) is fourth in the list with 848 runs in 17 matches, while Kane Williamson (SRH) is fifth in the list with 735 run in 17 matches.
