Gujarat Titans’ pacer Mohammed Siraj wore his emotions on his sleeve during their IPL 2025 clash against Chennai Super Kings, and for good reason. A routine single spiraled into a humiliating three-run gift, thanks to two unforced errors—first from skipper Shubman Gill and then from spinner Sai Kishore.
It all unfolded in the fifth over. CSK’s Urvil Patel gently pushed a length delivery to mid-off, seemingly a straightforward single. But Shubman Gill, perhaps trying too hard to force a run-out opportunity, launched a needless direct hit at the stumps. The throw missed by a distance and ricocheted off, allowing the batters an extra run off Siraj’s bowling.

Things only got worse from there. Sai Kishore, attempting to back up Gill’s throw, fumbled disastrously. He couldn’t control the ball, and in the scramble, Chennai gleefully snatched a third run. Siraj, clearly incensed, couldn’t hold back his frustration. Cameras caught him gesturing furiously and flinging his cap in anger, aimed more at the situation than the players. Interestingly, while he visibly expressed his annoyance at Kishore, he chose to ignore Gill’s mistake entirely.

But cricket often offers redemption, and both Gill and Kishore seized their moment in the 10th over. Sai Kishore turned the tide with a clever variation in flight and angle. He enticed Urvil Patel into stepping out, only to miscue the shot high into the night sky.

This time, Gill made no mistake. Sprinting back from extra cover, he judged the dipping ball perfectly and held on to a brilliant catch over his shoulder. Urvil’s explosive innings came to an end at 37 off 19 deliveries, laced with 4 fours and 2 sixes. In a span of five overs, the Titans’ duo turned their moment of chaos into one of calm redemption.
