In the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Shubham Gill displayed his exceptional form by amassing 851 runs in 16 matches. He not only crossed the 700-run mark in a single IPL season but also became the youngest player to win the Orange Cap, an award given to the tournament’s top run-scorer.
Gill achieved this feat at the age of 23, surpassing Ruturaj Gaikwad, who had previously held the record for being the youngest Orange Cap winner in 2021.
