Shubman Gill, a rising star in Indian cricket, has shown remarkable similarities to the renowned player Virat Kohli across all three formats of the game. The duo's ability to score centuries in the same matches has caught the attention of cricket enthusiasts. In 2023, both players managed to strike centuries against Sri Lanka in the third ODI match of the series in January. Additionally, they achieved the same feat in the Test format against Australia in February. Even in the T20 format, both players scored centuries in the same match, albeit for different teams, during the final group stage match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023.
In a recent encounter, Shubman's century outshined Virat's unbeaten 101, as the Gujarat Titans secured a six-wicket victory over Virat's team, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Unfortunately for RCB, this loss eliminated them from the IPL 2023 playoffs, allowing the Mumbai Indians to claim the fourth position in the group stage.
