We like to outsmart the opponent: Gill
As an opening pair in IPL 2025, Sudharsan and Gill have amassed 839 runs, at an average of 76.27, with seven 50-plus stands - three of them going past the 100-mark.
The duo stitched the highest partnership for Gujarat Titans in T20s with their unbeaten 205-run first-wicket stand at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday as GT booked their spot in the playoffs with a 10-wicket win over Delhi Capitals.
'I think the way we bat is not exactly similar, but the left-right combination helps. We both run very well between the wickets, and we're the kind of players who like to outsmart the opponent - including the bowlers,' Gill said on the episode of JioHotstar's Gen Bold.

'This Cap I Give To Very Few People': Shubman Gill Receives Heartwarming Gift From Sunil Gavaskar
India captain Shubman Gill received a special gift from 'Little Master' Sunil Gavaskar after he came close but stood too far from breaking his record for most runs by an Indian in a Test series. Shubman agonisingly fell 20 runs short of breaking Gavaskar's tally of 774 as he concluded the series with 754 runs to his name. With his robust technique, he looked poised for an extended stay on the case but was undone by a sharply nipping delivery from Gus Atkinson, punching his return ticket on 11(9). At the end of a throbbing contest on Day 3 of the fifth Test, Gavaskar met Gill, gifted a shirt with the SG initials and a special cap that he doesn't give to too many people. He hopes that after missing out on the elusive milestone by a whisker, he will strive for it in future assignments. "I have got a gift for you in anticipation of you going past (me). At least you got something to aim for in the next series. It is just a little gift. It is a shirt with SG initials, someone made it for me, I am giving this to you, but I don't know if it will fit you. This is a cap which I give to very few people with my signature. All the best," Gavaskar said after meeting Gill in a video posted by Sony Sports on X. A wholesome moment between Shubman Gill & Sunil Gavaskar #SonySportsNetwork #ENGvIND #NayaIndia #DhaakadIndia #TeamIndia #ExtraaaInnings | @ShubmanGill — Sony Sports Network (@SonySportsNetwk) August 2, 2025 Gill and Mohammed Siraj's tactical ploy was on display during the final moments before the day's end. India played a double bluff by setting up the field for a 'sweet chin music', but Siraj bowled a searing, angling yorker to rattle Zak Crawley's timber. Impressed by the brilliant piece of gambit, Gavaskar promised to wear his lucky jacket, hoping it would turn India's fortune. "That last over was fantastic. Sending a fielder over there, but then bowling the yorker. Tomorrow I am going to wear my lucky jacket, which I wore in Australia, the white one during the Gabba Test, on the last day," he concluded. In pursuit of a 374-run target, England opener Crawley and Ben Duckett raised a 50-run opening stand before the former departed on 14(36). As things stand, India is eight wickets shy of victory, while England needs 324 runs with two days left for play.

'Injection liya hai tu?': Shubman Gill under pressure as Akash Deep struggles with another injury, video goes viral
Akash Deep hit on the shin. (PIC - X) New Delhi: Team India's Test skipper Shubman Gill was heard asking Indian bowler Akash Deep if he had taken an injection to get relief from his pain as the star bowler suffered another injury during England's chase in the fifth Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy played at the Oval. What happened to Akash Deep? In the second-to-last over before lunch on Day 4 of the fifth Test in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, Brook hit a straight drive that went straight back to Akash Deep, hitting him on the shin. What did Shubman Gill ask? The stump mic picked up Gill shouting, 'Injection liya kya tum?' – asking if Akash had taken a painkiller shot and was ready to bowl. He repeated the question, signalling urgency. WATCH VIDEO BELOW: — The Game Changer (@TheGame_26) August 3, 2025 What happened in the match? Talking about the match, when the final innings resumed on 50 for one wicket under overcast conditions in London, England's star batter Ben Duckett smashed a stunning fifty before getting dismissed by Prasidh Krishna. Then his other bowling partner Mohammed Siraj struck shortly after to dismiss captain Ollie Pope, but England star batter Joe Root and Harry Brook carried Englaldn to 164-3 at lunch. After the lunch break, Shubman Gill was continuing with his pacer bowlers, both Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj were bowling together. Later, the Indian captain brought up Washington Sundar for a short spin spell, looking for a wicket or an impact, but it was not that impactful. During the second session, both of them reached their respective fifties while England was at 250 runs, so they had 125 runs left to achieve the humongous victory target of 374, which would give them a 3-1 series win. England are now chasing history at The Oval. Fewer runs have been scored to win in a fourth innings of a Test at the ground than England's 263 in a one-wicket victory over Australia in 1902.
