RR vs GT: Shubman Gill breaks Virat Kohli’s record, becomes youngest to score 3000 IPL runs

GT captain Shubman Gill, at just 24 years and 215 days old, broke RCB star Virat Kohli’s record to become the youngest batter to score 3000 runs in the Indian Premier League during a group match against RR. Gill accomplished the milestone in just 94 innings, standing as the fourth-fastest batter to achieve this feat in the IPL.

Youngest at time of 3000 IPL runs

24y 215 – Shubhman Gill*

26y 186d – Virat Kohli

26y 320d – Sanju Samson

27y 161d – Suresh Raina

27y 343d – Rohit Sharma

Gill’s feat becomes even more impressive as he joins the ranks of legendary players like Chris Gayle, KL Rahul, and Jos Buttler, who have reached the 3,000-run mark in fewer innings. Moreover, Gill’s achievement extends beyond the IPL, as he also surpassed 4,000 T20 runs, showcasing his adaptability and proficiency across formats. What sets Gill apart is not just his success, but his contribution to his franchise, GT, which debuted in 2022. With over 1,500 IPL runs solely for GT, Gill has established himself as a cornerstone for the team’s batting lineup. His ability to anchor innings and play match-winning knocks has been instrumental in GT’s success in the tournament.
