Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Faf du Plessis scored 730 runs in 14 IPL 2023 matches at a remarkable average of 56.15 and a strike rate of 153.68. Plessis had a solid chance of winning the Orange Cap but sadly his team failed to qualify for IPL 2023 Playoffs this year. Now that RCB's campaign is over in IPL 2023, GT star Shubman Gill has a golden chance to win the coveted Orange Cap, first time in his career.
Shubman, who scored two tons in a row for his team in their last two matches, is expected to repeat his batting heroics in GT's must-win match against five-time winners Mumbai Indians (MI) in tonight's IPL 2023 Qualifier 2. Shubman can not just help GT reach IPL final for the second time in a row, but will also be eyeing to cross the 800-run mark this season.
