In an exciting IPL 2025 clash between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Shubman Gill found himself not only in the spotlight for his batting heroics but also for his confrontations with the match officials. What began as a stellar innings soon turned into a controversial episode, with Gill’s on-field behavior drawing sharp criticism from fans and pundits alike.
Shubman Gill gets furious after his controversial run-out decision
Opening for Gujarat Titans, Gill was in sublime touch, crafting a classy 76 off just 38 balls. He timed the ball exquisitely, and his innings looked set to take GT to a mammoth total. However, drama unfolded on the final ball of the 13th over when a quick single attempt turned into a nightmare. Jos Buttler pushed the ball towards short fine leg, but Harshal Patel’s sharp throw hit the stumps at the striker’s end.
The third umpire was called in, and confusion reigned over whether the ball had dislodged the bails or if it was the wicketkeeper’s gloves. After a long review, the decision went SRH’s way, ruling Gill out. Visibly unhappy, Gill walked off reluctantly and was later seen engaged in a tense exchange with a match official near the dugout, questioning the clarity of the call.

The drama didn’t end there. In the second innings, Gill’s frustration resurfaced during the 14th over of SRH’s chase, bowled by Prasidh Krishna. A delivery struck Abhishek Sharma on the boot, prompting a brief interruption as the physio treated the batter. What appeared to be a standard pause soon escalated, with Gill seen arguing animatedly with on-field umpire Virender Sharma.
Though both umpires attempted to explain the situation to the GT skipper, Gill continued to show visible dissent. Adding to the tension, even Abhishek was seen calming him down, trying to defuse the situation. The moment quickly went viral, sparking a heated debate online.

Gill’s repeated outbursts did not go down well with fans, who took to social media to express their displeasure. Many felt the Gujarat Titans captain had crossed a line and compared his reactions to that of Virat Kohli—though some suggested Gill lacked the same aura to pull it off.
Here’s how netizens reacted:
Why Shubman Gill arguing with umpire in almost every game, I haven't seen other captains doing this. He is trying too hard to look like Virat Kohli of current generation and at times it looks irritating.
