A Light Moment on the Field
Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma, both from Punjab and good friends off the field, shared a funny moment during the match. In the 14th over, after a short delay when Abhishek was getting treatment from the physios, Gill walked over and gave him a playful kick. It seemed like a fun gesture, maybe teasing him for taking too much time.
Even though they were playing for rival teams, this small act reminded everyone that friendships in cricket continue beyond team colours. Fans loved the moment and it quickly went viral online.
Tensions Rise Over Umpire Call
Earlier in the same over, Gill had a heated moment with the umpire. GT had taken a DRS review for an LBW against Abhishek Sharma. The ball hit the pad, but the decision came back as ‘umpire’s call’, meaning the on-field decision stood. Gill was not happy and argued with the umpire. Interestingly, it was Abhishek himself who had to calm Gill down.
Controversial Run-Out Ends Gill’s Knock
Shubman Gill was playing a top-class innings and looked set for a century. But drama hit when he was run out in a controversial manner. Jos Buttler pushed the ball and they tried a quick single. Harshal Patel quickly threw it to the keeper, Heinrich Klaasen. The ball slightly touched Klaasen’s gloves and broke the stumps.
The third umpire took time to check if the bails were dislodged by the gloves or the ball. After a long review, the decision went against Gill. He was given out, and it left both Gill and the GT camp unhappy.
Gill, clearly disappointed, exchanged words with a match official near the dugout. GT’s support staff, including Ashish Kapoor, also looked annoyed.
Top Performers of the Match
Gill’s innings had 10 boundaries and 2 sixes and was full of elegance. B Sai Sudharsan also impressed with a quick 48, and Jos Buttler gave a solid start. GT posted a huge total of 224/6 in 20 overs. For SRH, Abhishek Sharma gave a strong reply with 74 off 41, but it wasn’t enough.
Jaydev Unadkat stood out with the ball, picking up three wickets and slowing down SRH’s chase.
