Sunil Gavaskar picks break out performer in 2023

There have been a lot of great performances right now going into another season in 2024. With a lot of impactful and phenomenal performances, it is tough to find who is the breakout player of this season. There will be a lot of people with different picks regarding this topic of who has been the best performer in this cricketing season. There have been a lot of experienced players who most likely had their best season in 2023, but also some young talent who have performed so well that they have exceeded everyone’s expectations. This decision will also be difficult for most of the experts as well who have seen everything in the game.

One of the most experienced and greatest legends of the game is Sunil Gavaskar who was not only one of the best cricketers of his time with over 13000 runs in international cricket, but also one of the most popular commentators and experts. It is safe to say that Gavaskar is one of the most experienced players in the game who has seen the best and worst of Indian cricket from facing the fearsome Caribbean pace attack to winning the World Cup in 1983. His views and opinions hold a lot of weight in the World of cricket being one of the greats as well.

Suni Gavaskar's pick for the breakout performer of the year

Gavaskar has made a clear pick on who has been the breakout performer in 2023 and chosen Shubman Gill for his amazing performances this season. The former legend had a lot of great things to say about the 24-year-old India batter on Star Sports saying “Breakout performer, I would imagine would be Shubman Gill for the way he batted throughout the 2023 season in all formats of the game. Test cricket, at the start, he was unstoppable."

This choice makes sense since Gill has had one of the best runs in International cricket right now and has had the best average for an Indian batter in ODI’s. He is also currently the number 2 ranked batter in ODI’s.  This season also saw him being only the 5th Indian batter to score a double century in One-day internationals as well. It will be interesting to see how Gill’s career will be moving forward in the future after already breaking records early in his career.
