Shubman Gill breaks silence after GT’s statement victory over in-form Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2025

Shubman Gill has started this season strong as captain of Gujarat Titans, a stark contrast from last season. Although they narrowly missed out against Punjab Kings, they secured victories against RCB and MI. After GT’s win in Bangalore, Gill posted a message on social media.

The 25-year-old star took to X to celebrate the victory. He shared a team photo with a caption stating they focused on the game, not the noise from the Bangalore crowd. Shubman Gill’s words may have upset some RCB fans, but they reflected his determination and winning mindset.

Gill’s Titans started strong, quickly dismantling Bangalore’s top order for under 50 runs. However, middle-order batsmen Jitesh Sharma, Liam Livingstone, and Tim David helped RCB post a respectable 170. Still, it was never going to be enough on the Chinnaswamy pitch.
