Across time, the game has evolved with the likes of Brendon McCullum, who came roaring in the first game of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) to kick start it grandly back in 2008, and now Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has been awestruck by the former cricketer with his massive range hitting at the mere age of 15 years.
The former Australia World Cup-winning captain, Aaron Finch, ranked Shubman Gill at no. 1 for his unreal consistency over the years. He has been one of the finest cricketers of this generation, but his strike rate has been one of the key concerns in his T20 batting. He is currently the second-highest run-getter in the IPL with 722 runs.

Indian batters dominate the IPL
Gill’s partner, Sai Sudharsan, was ranked at No. 2. The southpaw has had an excellent season; he has also scored over 700 runs this season for the Gujarat Titans. These two opening partners have created a massive impact for their franchise and have led them to the final of IPL 2026. They will be key on Sunday if GT has to win their second title.
He's [Shubman Gill] been ultra-consistent - Aaron Finch
Aaron Finch said, "Okay, there's going to be some really angry, passionate fans out there. Don't hate on me, please. Phil Salt — title winner — at No. 3. Sanju Samson at No. 4. Sai Sudharsan at No. 2. Abhishek Sharma at No. 5. Has he won a title? No. Travis Head at No. 6. Shubman Gill at No. 1."
"Okay, thanks. Anything you'd change? Who would be your No. 1 if you had to redo it? No. 1, I'm happy with Shubman at the top. He's been ultra-consistent, an unbelievable player, and he's led his team really well, which gets a few bonus points."
