Shubman Gill thinks teams will score 300 runs soon. He leads the Gujarat Titans as captain. His words have surprised many cricket fans. Teams scored very high in IPL matches last year. Nine times teams made more than 250 runs. This is already a huge score.
Gill believes teams can go even higher now. He says 300 runs in one innings is possible. This would be a new record for T20 cricket.
Most cricket experts thought 300 runs was impossible. But Gill sees the game changing fast. He notices batters getting stronger.
Last Season’s High Scores
The 2024 IPL season saw many high scores. Sunrisers Hyderabad scored 287 runs in one game. This was almost 300 already. Kolkata Knight Riders made 272 runs in another match. Delhi Capitals reached 257 in their highest score.
These big scores excited cricket fans everywhere. Matches became more thrilling to watch. Everyone loves seeing lots of runs.
Impact Player Rule Changes Cricket
The Impact Player rule makes high scores possible. This rule came in 2023. Teams can now use it in 2025-2027 too. The rule lets teams switch one player. They can bring in a new player during the match. This player can be a batting/bowling expert.
What This Means For All-rounders
Hardik Pandya has thoughts about this rule too. He captains Mumbai Indians this season. He is an all-rounder himself.
Pandya says only special all-rounders will play now. They must be really good at batting and bowling. Average all-rounders might lose their spots.
“You need to be great at both skills,” Pandya explained. “Just being okay at both isn’t enough anymore.”
Getting Ready For IPL 2025
Teams prepare differently because of these changes. They pick more power hitters in their teams. They want players who hit sixes easily. Bowlers must learn new skills too. They need clever ways to stop runs. The old bowling methods don’t work as well now.
Fans should expect very exciting matches this year. The IPL 2025 starts on March 22. The first game happens in Kolkata.
Teams will try new strategies this season. They all want to use the Impact Player rule well. Smart teams will win more matches. Cricket keeps changing and growing fast. Gill’s prediction might come true this season. Fans can’t wait to see if teams reach 300 runs.
