#2 S Gill (Gujarat): S Gill has been in blistering form in the Indian Playerzpot League 2023. With his incredible performances, the 23-year-old has proven to be a generational talent not just in Indian cricket but in international cricket as well. In Qualifier 2 against Mumbai, Gill smashed a match-winning knock of 129 off 60 balls at an astounding strike rate of 215. With his brilliant knock, Gill became the fourth batsman to complete 800 runs in a season.

He has come up with impactful performances with the bat as well as the ball. In Qualifier 1 against Gujarat, Jadeja scored 22 runs and scalped two wickets while conceding 18 runs in four overs.

In Qualifier 1, Gujarat’s batting line-up was visibly struggling to play against R Jadeja’s spin bowling. Jadeja will look to make an impact again in the Final against Gujarat.
#4 M Sharma (Gujarat): M Sharma is having a brilliant comeback season in the Indian Playerzpot League. The 34-year-old has turned out to be a surprise package in Gujarat’s bowling line-up and delivered his best this season of the tournament. In Qualifier 2, M Sharma scalped five wickets while conceding just 10 runs at an economy rate of 4.30 in 2.2 overs. He was the most economical bowler in the match.
