During a recent IPL 2025 match between Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad
Heated Argument with Umpires
In the 17th over of SRH's innings, GT's Mohit Sharma bowled a delivery that was initially signaled as a wide by the on-field umpire. GT opted for a review, and the third umpire first overturned the decision to 'not wide.' However, after further deliberation, the third umpire reverted his decision, instructing the on-field umpire to maintain the 'wide' call. This sequence of events left Gill visibly frustrated, leading to a heated exchange with the umpire. He was seen having an animated discussion, questioning the rationale behind the reversal. The situation was eventually defused, and play resumed.
Interaction with Abhishek Sharma
Later in the match, Gill had a light-hearted moment with his childhood friend and SRH player, Abhishek Sharma. During GT's innings, after a delivery from Sharma, Gill playfully tapped him with his foot. This gesture was in jest and highlighted the camaraderie between the two players. Gill and Sharma have shared a long-standing friendship, having played together in their formative years. In a previous encounter, Gill had mentioned that he told Sharma before the match, "If you bowl to me, I'm going to hit you for six," underscoring their friendly banter.
