When Sunil Gavaskar had retired, world cricket had wondered, ‘who’s next,’ and there was Sachin Tendulkar to rule the sport. Earlier last week, Shubman Gill had eclipsed Kohli’s ton with his match-winning hundred and on Friday, in presence of the legendary Sachin, Gill showcased smashed his third century in IPL 2023. And even though in both cases, the two veteran stars suffered heartbreaks, there was surely a smile and some admiration at watching a youngster rise and ready to take world cricket by storm. GT will now face Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2023 final on Sunday at the same venue. As the emerging face of Indian cricket, all eyes will be on Gill in the final.
