"Don't believe everything you see on internet": Shubman Gill ends rift rumours with Hardik Pandya
Mullanpur (Punjab) [India], May 31 (ANI): India Test skipper Shubman Gill put an end to speculation of any tension between him and all-rounder Hardik Pandya during the Eliminator in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Mumbai Indians (MI) on Friday. There were rumours circulated on social media that GT skipper Gill didn't shake hands with Hardik during the time of the toss at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh. Gill silenced the critics as he took to Instagram and wrote, 'Nothing but love (Don't believe everything you see on the internet) @hardikpandya95.' Chasing a mammoth total of 229 in the Eliminator, Gill was sent back to the pavilion after scoring just 1 run, whereas Hardik played a quickfire knock of 22 runs from just nine balls, which was laced with three maximums in his innings which came at a whopping strike rate of 244.44. Recapping the match, a brilliant half-century by Sai Sudharsan and his partnership with Washington Sundar went in vain as fine death bowling effort from the five-time champions helped the Blue and Gold franchise eliminate the 2022 champions from the competition with a 20-run win at Mullanpur. With this win, MI will now play Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Ahmedabad on June 1 for a spot in the final against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on June 3. MI won the toss and elected to bat first. They started off with a bang, with Jonny Bairstow (47 in 22 balls, with four boundaries and three sixes) and Rohit Sharma taking on pacers really well. Rohit went on to score his third fifty in IPL knockouts, making 81 in just 50 balls, with nine fours and four sixes. He also completed his 7,000 IPL runs, becoming the second batter to do so. Fine cameos from Suryakumar Yadav (33 in 20 balls, with a four and three sixes), Tilak Varma (25 in 11 balls, with three sixes) and Hardik Pandya (22* in nine balls, with three sixes) took MI to 228/5. Sai Kishore (2/42) and Prasidh Krishna (2/53) were the top bowlers for GT. In the run chase, GT lost skipper Shubman Gill early. However, Sai Sudharsan (80 in 49 balls, with 10 fours and a six) stitched half-century partnerships with Kusal Mendis (20 in 10 balls, with a four and two sixes) and Washington Sundar (48 in 24 balls, with five fours and three sixes), keeping GT ahead of the required rate. However, some fine death bowling prevented them from winning as MI restricted GT to 208/6 in 20 overs. Trent Boult (2/56) was the top bowler for MI. Jasprit Bumrah, Richard Gleeson, Ashwani Kumar and Mitchell Santner got one each. Rohit Sharma was awarded Player of the Match for his exceptional batting performance. (ANI)

'Shubhu Baby': Gill, Pandya Showcase Bromance On Instagram Amid Rift Rumors
Last Updated: Shubman Gill dismissed rumors of a rift with Hardik Pandya after their IPL 2025 Eliminator clash. Gill stated they share "nothing but love" despite viral videos suggesting tension. India Test captain Shubman Gill has rubbished the rumors of his rift with senior all-rounder Hardik Pandya after the duo clashed as captains of Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians respectively in the IPL 2025 Eliminator on Friday. After videos of their alleged 'cold shoulder' to each other at the toss and aggression during the match went viral, Gill took to social media after his side's 20-run loss to say that they shared 'nothing but love'. Using his Instagram story as the medium, Gill posted two photos with Pandya — one seemingly after the toss, with the duo posing for the camera together, and another of them celebrating together in India's Blue. Gill tagged the MI skipper and wrote, 'Nothing but love. Don't believe everything you read on the internet.' He also put a heart emoji for good measure, attempting to end the gossip once and for all. The grapevine started to buzz after a video from the toss went viral on social media. In it, both Pandya and Gill were seen putting their hands out for a shake, but not going ahead with it completely. Later, when Gill got out in the first innings, Pandya celebrated aggressively and on his face. Broadcasters joined in the fun, too, replaying the clips several times and suggesting that there could be some tension between the two. Watch an example of the several viral clips here: #RohitSharma #ViratKohli #KLRahul #IPL2025 #RCB #GTvsMI — Monish (@Monish09cric) May 30, 2025 Soon after, Pandya reposted this story too, with the caption, 'Always Shubhu Baby' and a couple of emojis. The notion of this 'tension' that people are speaking about is rooted in Pandya's famous trade to MI. The all-rounder was GT's first-ever captain in 2022 and led them to an unprecedented debut year title, followed by another final in 2023. In 2024, he was traded back to MI, who scouted and brought him to the IPL, and young Gill was made the captain. Under him, GT's first season didn't go well as they finished eighth among the 10 teams. This year, they were one of the best teams in the group stages and Gill's captaincy success seemed to have played a role in his Test promotion, too, but a stack of losses in the business end finished their campaign in the Eliminator.

Shubman Gill-Sai Sudharsan Miss This MASSIVE IPL Record By 27 Runs After Loss In IPL 2025 Eliminator
Gujarat Titans' 2025 IPL campaign came to a heartbreaking end after a 20-run defeat against Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator, but it was also the end of a near-historic run for their top-order duo, Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill. The two stylish batters amassed an incredible 912 runs together this season, forming one of the most dominant partnerships in IPL history. Their combined effort places them third on the all-time list for most partnership runs in a single IPL season, just 27 runs shy of equaling the joint-record of 939 runs, held by Virat Kohli with AB de Villiers (2016) and Faf du Plessis (2023). The Gill–Sudharsan pairing showed remarkable consistency and composure, often laying solid foundations for Gujarat's innings throughout the tournament. 939 - Virat Kohli/Du Plessis (2023) 939 - Virat Kohli/ABD (2016) 912 - Gill/Sudharsan (2025) 849 - Ruturaj/Conway (2023) 791 - Warner/Bairstow (2019) In the Eliminator, however, things didn't go as planned. Skipper Shubman Gill was dismissed for just 1 run in the first over, his first single-digit score in an IPL knockout, leaving Sudharsan to shoulder the responsibility. The left-hander rose to the occasion with a classy 80 off 49 balls, but his efforts weren't enough to carry the Titans past MI's total. Despite the loss, Sudharsan made history by becoming the youngest batter to score over 700 runs in a single IPL season, surpassing Gill's record from the previous year. With a combined total of runs that almost rewrote the record books, Gill and Sudharsan's partnership remains one of the defining stories of IPL 2025, a mix of brilliance, balance, and what-could-have-been. For Gujarat Titans and Indian cricket, this pairing promises an exciting future, even as they narrowly missed carving their names into the record books this time.
