As the Gujarat Titans prepare to face the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, both captain Shubman Gill and England's Jos Buttler are on the verge of reaching significant milestones. Gill, who has scored 3,975 runs in 120 IPL matches, is just 25 runs away from becoming the latest player to achieve 4,000 runs in the league. His performance has been pivotal for the Titans, showcasing his skills as a top-order batter with an average of 39.75. On the other hand, Buttler, a seasoned wicketkeeper-batter, is approaching 14,000 T20 runs, needing only 39 runs to reach this landmark, which would make him the fifth player in history to do so. He has accumulated 13,961 runs across 496 T20 matches, maintaining an impressive strike rate of 146.24. Gujarat Titans' assistant coach Vijay Dahiya praised Gill's leadership and cricketing intelligence, emphasizing that his captaincy has earned him respect within the Indian cricket setup.
