NEW DELHI: Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill was visibly displeased after being adjudged run out during the IPL 2025 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday.
The incident occurred in the 13th over when Jos Buttler clipped a delivery from Zeeshan Ansari towards short fine leg and called for a quick single. Harshal Patel sprinted in, collected the ball swiftly, and fired a flat throw towards the striker’s end.
Wicketkeeper Heinrich Klaasen, stationed in front of the stumps, attempted to deflect the ball onto the stumps with his gloves.
The dismissal looked extremely tight and was sent upstairs for review.
The third umpire checked whether the stumps had been broken by Klaasen’s gloves or the ball. After several replays and angles, the umpire concluded that the ball had hit the stumps, citing a visible deviation after contact with the gloves as evidence.
Gill appeared stunned and visibly furious with the decision but had no choice but to walk back to the pavilion. He later had an exchange with TV umpire Michael Gough after returning to the dugout.
Despite the dismissal, Gill played a sensational knock, scoring 76 off just 38 balls.
Earlier, Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and elected to bowl. SRH went in with an unchanged XI, while Gujarat Titans made one change, bringing in Gerald Coetzee in place of Karim Janat.
