After being the architects of a commanding seven-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 19 of IPL 2025, Gujarat Titans found themselves back in the spotlight, not just for their on-field brilliance but also for a playful moment between Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma. At the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, SRH posted a modest total of 152/8, with Abhishek Sharma contributing 18 off 16 balls before falling to Mohammed Siraj, who later claimed the Player of the Match award with a four-wicket haul.

In response, GT cruised to victory in just 16.4 overs, thanks to a sublime unbeaten 61 off 43 balls from captain Shubman Gill, supported by Sherfane Rutherford’s 35*. After the match, a light-hearted exchange between Gill and Abhishek made headlines. Gill was caught teasing his longtime friend about conceding 18 runs in his lone over, three consecutive boundaries, a wide, and another four, bowled in the 15th over.

With this third consecutive win, Gujarat Titans surged to second place on the points table, boasting a healthy net run rate of +1.031. In contrast, Sunrisers Hyderabad slumped to the bottom with four straight losses, desperately needing a turnaround to stay alive in the playoff race.
