He has become the second-fastest Indian to get to 5000 runs in the format, surpassing Virat Kohli and being the second-quickest only behind KL Rahul.
Gill took 154 innings to get to the mark, while Kohli needed 167 innings to get to 5000 runs in the format. Rahul, who is on top of this list, got to the milestone in 143 outings.

GT achieve a never-seen-before record in IPL history
Sudharsan and Gill made a mockery of the Capitals’ bowling. Their insane consistency churned out yet another unbelievable chapter as they hunted down the 200-run target without losing a single wicket and with six balls to spare. This marked the first instance of a team chasing down a 200 or 200-plus target with 10 wickets in hand.
This is also only the second instance of a team chasing 200 or more in T20 cricket without losing a wicket, with the only other instance being when Pakistan hunted down 200 against England in Karachi in 2022.
