IPL 2023: Best XI of the tournament

The Indian Premier League has been the most followed T20 tournament in the sport. Over the years, the league has outclassed every franchise-based tournament in the game. This time around, the teams managed to raise the bar again, thanks to some brilliant performances throughout the season.

The 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League broke almost all the records and has given fans a glimpse of how Indian youngsters have been setting the standards. Adding on, the veterans managed to make a comeback as well for their franchises. Throughout the season, the fans witnessed numerous spectacular moments which helped the talented players to become household names.

In the end, Ravindra Jadeja managed to drag the Chennai Super Kings over the victory line. For someone who had a horrible 2022 season, this was a story of redemption. Let us have a look at the best XI of the Indian Premier League, 2023.

1. Shubman Gill (Gujarat Titans) 

Widely hailed as the “Baby GOAT”, Shubman Gill has stepped on and made a name for himself in every format of the game. Within a few months, he has managed to score a double century in ODIs, score a phenomenal century in a T20I, and accumulated 890 runs in the Indian Premier League. Without a doubt, all eyes will be on Shubman during the World Test Championship final and the ODI World Cup.

In 17 games, Shubman managed to score three centuries during the season. His tally of 890 runs, with a strike rate of 157.80, has made him the second-highest run-getter in the history of the IPL as well. For Gujarat, he has been their most valuable player.

The talented opener has the flair and skill of a top-class batter, and this was on full display during the final league game of the season. Adding on, his brilliant century versus Mumbai Indians will surely go down as one of the best IPL innings of all time.
