'Don't Have Words': Virat Kohli, AB De Villiers Lead Tributes As Shubman Gill Slams 3rd Ton In IPL 2023

The world cricketing fraternity took to social media on Friday to express their awe for Indian batter Shubman Gill's century for Gujarat Titans (GT) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) Qualifier 2 match against Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The third century of the season by in-form opener Shubman Gill and his century stand with Sai Sudarshan powered Gujarat Titans to a massive 233/3 in their Indian Premier League (IPL) Qualifier 2 clash against Mumbai Indians (MI) in Ahmedabad on Friday.

In the match, Gill brought up his third century of the ongoing IPL season. He scored 129 runs in just 60 balls. His knock consisted of seven fours and 10 sixes. His runs came at a strike rate of 215.00.

Star India batter Virat Kohli, who Gill is compared to by cricketing fans due to his consistency at a young age and his elegant strokeplay, took notice of Gill's ton and posted a story acknowledging it. He used a star emoji to express his awe for Gill's knock.

India's 2011 World Cup-winning all-rounder Yuvraj Singh also expressed his appreciation for Gill, calling him the "new prince of Indian cricket."

"Another great innings by the new prince of Indian cricket !! @ShubmanGill GTvsmi #IPL2O23," tweeted Yuvraj.

Former middle-order batter Suresh Raina also tweeted, "Another brilliant century by the young maestro @ShubmanGill! The future of Indian cricket shining bright. Keep rocking, champ! #MIvGT #IPL2023."
