1The Finding
Shubman Gill scored 890 runs in IPL 2023 at average 59.33 and SR 158.9 — the highest single-season total of the 2019–2025 era across 17 innings.
2What the Numbers Show
| Metric | Value | Sample / Context |
|---|---|---|
| Total runs (IPL 2023) | 890 | 17 innings — Era 3 (2019–2025) record |
| Batting average | 59.33 | |
| Strike rate | 158.9 | |
| 2023 season rank | 1st | Top scorer in IPL 2023 |
| 2023 top wicket-taker | 28 wkts | Mohammed Shami |
| 2nd-highest Era 3 total | 863 | Jos Buttler, IPL 2022 (17 innings) |
3Why It's Surprising
Era 3 (2019–2025) is IPL's highest-scoring era by average (161.0 per innings). Within it, individual season totals have climbed too. Gill's 890 in 2023 edges out Buttler's 863 (2022) as the era's biggest single-season haul. At 59.33 average across 17 innings, it combines volume and efficiency rarely seen in T20 cricket. Shami's 28 wickets that same season underlines the depth of the 2023 GT campaign across bat and ball.
