Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma shared a heartwarming moment after Gujarat Titans defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in their IPL 2026 encounter in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. It was a brilliant performance from GT as they registered an 82-run win and claimed the top spot in the IPL 2026 points table. Washington Sundar slammed a half-century to help power GT to a total of 168/5. In reply, the GT bowling attack-led by Jason Holder and Kagiso Rabada, who took three wickets each, bundled out SRH for just 86. Following the win, Gill and Abhishek shared a hug and were seen engaged in a long conversation. The cricketers played together for Punjab during their formative years, and their camaraderie was clear from the friendly exchange, which has already gone viral on social media.
“Definitely, like you spoke at the toss. Teams batting first have done well, and it worked out for us pretty nicely. But I think we bowled very well. 170 on this kind of a wicket, we always knew it was going to be tricky. If we bowl well, we’ll always be in the game,” Gill said after the match.
Half centuries from Sai Sudharsan and Washington Sundar were complemented well by the bowling unit as Gujarat Titans notched up a massive 82-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their Indian Premier League clash on Tuesday.
