Shubman Gill is known for raking in his Gujarat Titans teams in the IPL. He did the same after GT crushed Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk, with a picture of him posing with a whistle. Now he has done the same with RCB, with an Instagram post that includes a picture of Virat Kohli.
GT defeated RCB by four wickets in Ahmedabad on Thursday, April 30, in what turned out to be a tricky chase for the home team. Gill set the platform for victory with his fearless batting at the top with 43 off 18 balls. Jason Holder was the star of the show for GTas he picked two wickets, three catches and scored 12 off 10 balls.
Holder was the one who got all the praise from Gill in his post, where he also praised his side for his team’s performance, a suspected rip-off of the RCB slogan.
“Play Hold @jaseholder98 Bold team performance tonight,” Gill said. (Credit: Shubman Gill Instagram)
GILL’S BANTER WITH KOHLI
There was some banter between Gill and Kohli during the match in Ahmedabad. The GT captain was dismissed thanks to a sharp catch by the RCB star.
In typical fashion, Kohli gave the death stare and backed it up with an aggressive dismissal of his India teammate.
However, it was all fun and games between Gill and Kohli, who engaged in banter during the second innings. Kohli had some choice words for Gill when he was in the middle and then poked fun at him while sitting in the dugout.
Finally, the two men embraced after the match to show fans that all is well between the duo.
GT will now focus on PBKS, who they will face on May 3 in Ahmedabad. RCB will travel to Lucknow alongside LSG on May 7.
