King or Prince? Detailed analysis of Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli's numbers in IPL 2023

IPL 2023: The recently concluded IPL 2023 game between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Titans witnessed a high-octane clash between two generations. Clash of a 'King' with his successor, the 'Prince' of Indian batting, Shubman Gill. Virat Kohli has dominated the cricketing world for more than a decade now and has accomplished nearly everything in this beautiful sport. When Kohli bats, he captivates everybody's attention irrespective of everything happening around him. He might not play for our favourite team but everybody wants to see the Indian stalwart do well and keep on batting. The supposition is hard to escape and this is what the former India and Royal Challengers Bangalore's skipper has achieved over the years.

Kohli's batting is nothing but 'poetry in motion', whereas Shubman Gill with the bat in his hand is nothing else but an 'impeccable walking piece of art'. When Gujarat Titans took on Royal Challengers Bangalore in match number 70 of IPL 2023, Mumbai Indians and their fans were glued to their television screens, but little did the cricketing world know that talents from two different generations will bring their best to the marquee clash and will add new chapters to the illustrious folklore of the Indian Premier League.
