Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill had a short-lived innings in the IPL 2025 clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Despite showing early promise, his stay at the crease was cut short in a dramatic fashion. Gill looked in good touch, playing a few elegant strokes and even launching a six off Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
However, his momentum was halted immediately. On the very next delivery, Bhuvneshwar bowled a full delivery slightly outside off, which nipped away just enough to take the edge. Gill, attempting another big shot down the ground, misjudged the movement and ended up slicing the ball towards deep backward point.

Earlier, RCB’s lower order rescued them from a precarious position. Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma, and Tim David provided crucial late fireworks, ensuring their side reached a competitive total. While their top order faltered, it was a mix of GT’s disciplined bowling and some poor shot selection that caused RCB’s struggles.
GT had the upper hand in the first seven overs, dominating the proceedings. However, they momentarily lost control, particularly with Rashid Khan conceding an expensive 54 runs in his four-over spell. Fortunately for GT, Sai Kishore maintained his composure, restricting RCB from fully capitalizing on the momentum shift.
