Shubman Gill, captain of the Gujarat Titans, has practically prophesied that one of the teams in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season will score 300 runs, given the rate at which the format has evolved.

The 2024 IPL season saw exceptional batting performances, including the Punjab Kings' successful pursuit of 262 against the Kolkata Knight Riders.

Sunrisers Hyderabad also set new marks by scoring 287/3 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and posting the best power-play score of 125/0 against Delhi Capitals.

"The pace of the game has reached a point where it feels like we could score 300 in a match. Last year, we came very close on a few occasions. The Impact Player rule adds excitement and makes the IPL even more entertaining. One of the best aspects of the IPL is that every day, a new player emerges as a star," Gill told JioHotstar.

“You constantly witness underrated talents delivering exceptional performances. The tournament's structure, with frequent matches and travel, keeps players engaged. If you're winning, the momentum carries you forward, with three, four, or even five consecutive victories. However, injuries can make things difficult," the GT captain added.

Gujarat Titans will kick off their IPL 2025 campaign against Punjab Kings at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium. Gill praised the talents of his franchise, which won the IPL title in their first appearance in 2022.

"We have a strong fast-bowling attack. Rashid has been with us, and we have explosive batters like Rutherford, Philips, and Butler. Some talented Indian players like Mahipal and Sai add depth to our squad. The key to success in a long tournament like the IPL is maintaining balance.

Losing two or three matches in a row isn't a major concern if you are playing the right way and making smart decisions. Consistency in team selection and strategy is important. The more you play based on probability and logic, the better your chances of qualifying (for the playoffs),” Gill concluded.
