Shubman Gill slammed 90 runs off just 55 balls to help Gujarat Titans (GT) extend their lead at the top of the IPL 2025 points table, as they defeated Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by 39 runs. GT were clearly the better side in all three facets of the game, and have now become the first team to hit 12 points this season.

Kolkata Knight Riders' chances of reaching the IPL 2025 playoffs were dealt a massive blow as the Ajinkya Rahane-led side slumped to a 39-run loss against Gujarat Titans in Kolkata on Monday. It was KKR's fifth defeat in 8 matches as they are currently seventh in the IPL table with 6 points. Following this loss, KKR will have to win all of their remaining six matches to guarantee their spot in the playoffs. However, they can still qualify if they win 5 out of their remaining 6 matches but in that scenario, the net run rate and other team's results may play a huge role. If KKR win 4 more matches in IPL 2025, they will be all but out of the playoffs race but a slight chance will remain mathematically.

Stumped by the question, Gill started blushing and then replied: "No." Then he went on to add, "Nothing like that." The question soon went viral on social media and some social media users did not like it.
