Additionally, Gill’s boundary-hitting ability was on full display as he notched up a total of 118 boundaries, comprising 85 fours and 33 sixes, making him the fourth-highest boundary scorer in an IPL season. Jos Buttler holds the record for the most boundaries in a season with 128, including 83 fours and 45 sixes during the 2022 season for Rajasthan Royals.
