The correct answer is

3 centuries were scored by Gill in Tata IPL 2023.

The passive voice structure would be "3 centuries were scored by Gill in Tata IPL 2023." This is because the focus in passive voice is on the action (scoring centuries) and the object (centuries) rather than the subject (Gill). Option 1, "had been scored," suggests an action completed before another past action, which does not fit the context. Option 3 uses present perfect tense ("have been"), and option 4 uses past continuous, which is not appropriate in this case.
