Shubman Gill, the rising star of Indian cricket, has garnered a reputation for both his on-field brilliance and his off-field wit. The young batsman, who captains the Gujarat Titans in the IPL, has captured the hearts of fans with his exceptional talent and his ability to make lighthearted comments.
The “Most Hated Partnership” and Social Media Shenanigans
Gill’s IPL 2023 season was a resounding success. He amassed a staggering 890 runs, including three centuries and four fifties. One of his most dominant performances came against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, where he smashed a blistering 104 runs off just 52 balls.
This match also witnessed the birth of the now-famous “most hated partnership” in IPL history. Partnering with Vijay Shankar, Gill formed a destructive duo that plundered 123 runs off a mere 71 deliveries, chasing down a target of 198 with ease.
In a playful video posted by Jio Cinema, Gill, alongside Shankar, jokingly referred to their partnership as the “most hated” in IPL history. He even mentioned that his teammate Mohammed Siraj, who plays for RCB, admitted the team rarely discussed Gill’s innings compared to Shankar’s explosive knock.
This lighthearted remark perfectly encapsulates Gill’s personality â a young cricketer who doesn’t shy away from humour and camaraderie.
From Witty Exchanges to Heated Debate: A Change in Mood
While Gill is known for his friendly demeanour, he also displayed a different side during his team’s recent encounter with the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2024.
A particular umpiring decision in the 17th over, bowled by Mohit Sharma, left Gill visibly frustrated. The final delivery of the over was initially signalled wide, prompting Gill to utilize the DRS (Decision Review System). However, the third umpire overturned the on-field call, deeming it a legitimate delivery.
This decision clearly irked Gill, who engaged in a lengthy and animated conversation with umpire Vinod Seshan. The frustration was evident, showcasing a side of Gill rarely seen on the field. Despite his animated appeal, the wide call remained unchanged.
