Who Will Score Most Runs For India In World Cup Final? It's Neither Kohli Nor Rohit

On Sunday, India will lock horns with Australia in the much-anticipated final of the ongoing World Cup. Led by Rohit Sharma, India have been exceptional on both batting and bowling fronts, showcasing their excellence on the biggest stage. 

While Rohit Sharma has played the aggressor's role with perfection, Virat Kohli has exhibited incredible consistency alongside Shreyas Iyer. With KL Rahul showing his versatility across situations and the pace battery being relentless in all phases, India will enter the final as the outright favourites. 

The final match also gives a golden opportunity to Shubman Gill to perform admirably and establish his legacy. Talking about Gill, the stylish right-handed batter has had a roller-coaster ride in the tournament. 

After blowing hot and cold in the initial games, the Punjab-born cricketer finally regained his mojo in the latter half of the tournament, slamming match-winning knocks against Sri Lanka, Netherlands and New Zealand. 

His heroic batting effort against the Kiwis was pivotal for India to post a massive total, as he hammered 80 runs off just 66 balls with eight fours and three massive sixes. He is in scintillating form, which is why we expect him to play a crucial role for the Indian team in the final against Australia. 

Shubman Gill: A real match-winner in Ahmedabad

More importantly, Gill has enjoyed stellar success at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Although he got out for 16 in the league-stage game against Pakistan, Gill has stupendous numbers at the venue.

Strike Rate164.17

Gill, who plays for Gujarat Titans in the IPL, has amassed 669 runs at an average of 66.90 and a blistering strike rate of 159.29 in Ahmedabad. Also, his solitary T20I century came at this venue, where he annihilated New Zealand with 63-ball 126*. 

So, if Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli don't bring up their A-game in the final against Australia, India will rely on Gill, who has been an absolute beast in Ahmedabad. So, don't be surprised if Gill hammers Australia in his own den on Super Sunday.
