Gill, de Villiers Predict 300 Runs Possible in IPL 2025

Ahead of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, Gujarat Titans' captain Shubman Gill expressed that a team could potentially score 300 runs in a match, citing recent record-breaking performances from the previous season, including Punjab Kings chasing down 262 and Sunrisers Hyderabad scoring 287. Gill discussed how the Impact Player rule has added excitement to the tournament and emphasized the importance of team consistency and strategy. Meanwhile, AB de Villiers, reflecting on the challenges faced by new Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Rajat Patidar, highlighted the pressure of following in the footsteps of past greats like Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis. De Villiers advised Patidar to trust his instincts and lead in his unique style rather than imitating his predecessors. He also noted that the new rules have significantly changed the game dynamics, making high scores more achievable, and predicted that the 300-mark might be breached this season. Both players acknowledged that while injuries could pose challenges, the IPL remains a thrilling and evolving competition.
