IPL 2021: Predicting top run getter for each team
Batsmen that can demolish the bowling line ups in IPL 2021.
7. Kolkata Knight Riders: Shubman Gill
Gill made headlines when he was an important contributor to India’s win during the Under 19 T20 world cup. The youngster was roped in by the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2018. During that season, he made useful contributions to the Kolkata-based franchise. Later on, he was retained by the KKR management who saw his immense batting potential during his debut season.
Gill has a mediocre strike rate of 125.20 in the IPL. But this is mainly because of the uncertainty of the KKR batting lineup. If Gill gets more chances, he is destined to become the most important player for the Knight Riders. Last year, he accumulated 440 runs for his team.
As the captaincy has been handed to Morgan, the fans are hoping for more stability in the batting unit. Therefore, this will enable Gill to play with more freedom. KKR’s success will depend on Gill’s form. Hence, we expect that Gill will play according to the situation. Therefore, Gill might turn out to be the highest run-scorer for the Knight Riders.
