Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Shubman Gill sparked discussions with a cryptic post on X following his team’s decisive 8-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Gill’s message, “Eyes on the game, not the noise,” led fans to speculate about its intended meaning.

Some supporters interpreted the “noise” as a reference to Virat Kohli’s animated celebration after GT’s Bhuvneshwar Kumar dismissed Gill during the match. Kohli’s passionate reactions are well-known, and this instance was no exception. Despite this, Gill and Kohli were seen sharing a warm hug post-match, indicating mutual respect between the two players.
Another perspective among fans connected Gill’s post to the online abuse his sister, Shahneel Gill, faced after GT’s victory over RCB in the previous IPL season. This suggests that Gill’s message might have been a response to past incidents involving his family.
In the match itself, GT’s Mohammed Siraj delivered an impressive performance, securing 3 wickets for 19 runs. Jos Buttler compensated for earlier fielding errors by scoring an unbeaten 73 off 39 balls, leading GT to comfortably chase down RCB’s total of 169-8 in just 17.5 overs. Gill commended his bowlers for their efforts in restricting RCB to a manageable score.
