The talented batter has played 58 matches in the Indian Premier League since making his debut in this league in 2018, and this season he believes any team can win the title. "Definitely, all the ten teams have a chance. We have as much a chance to win the IPL as any other team, or I think we would take the IPL by storm because we have all the boxes ticked this year. Our team has proper batters, fast bowlers, genuine all-rounders ... It all boils down to how well we play on the field," Gill added.
