Suyash Sharma taunts Shubman Gill after his dismissal (IPL Photo) NEW DELHI: Things got a little spicy between spinner Suyash Sharma and Shubman Gill in the IPL 2026 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT) in Bengaluru on Friday. After getting Gill out, Suyash didn’t just celebrate normally but brazenly copied Gill’s own ‘bow’ celebration which Gill famously used after knocking RCB out of the playoffs in 2023. Suyash even waved his cap to the crowd, clearly enjoying the moment and gave it back to the opposition captain in a playful yet bold manner.
