In the IPL 2025 match between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), GT captain Shubman Gill became visibly upset after an unsuccessful DRS review during the 14th over of SRH’s chase. The review, which was ruled as “umpire’s call,” did not show where the ball pitched, leading to Gill’s frustration. His animated exchange with the on-field umpires was intense enough that SRH’s Abhishek Sharma, a childhood friend of Gill, intervened to calm him down .
Later, during a light-hearted moment, Gill playfully kicked Abhishek while the SRH player was receiving treatment on the field, showcasing their friendly rapport .
Despite the on-field tensions, Gujarat Titans secured a 38-run victory, with Gill contributing 76 runs off 38 balls. Post-match, Gill acknowledged the emotional nature of the game, stating, “There are bound to be some emotions involved… as you give your 110 percent” .
The incident sparked discussions among fans and commentators, with some questioning whether Gill’s behavior was influenced by a desire to emulate the on-field intensity often associated with players like Virat Kohli. However, others viewed it as a natural display of passion and leadership on the field.
