Gill, with 851 runs from 16 matches, is on top of the leading run-scorers list this season and is expected to finish on top. Gill can also smash Kohli's seven-year-old record of most runs in a single season (973 runs in 16 games) which he achieved in 2016. Kohli had completed four tons that season. Gill has 3 and if he smashes another vs CSK in IPL 2023 final, he will come at par with his idol Kohli.
