Watch: Shubman Gill's Intriguing Act During Handshake With Rishabh Pant Has Fans Talking
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain Rishabh Pant finally had the taste of victory as his franchise thumped high-flying Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match on Thursday. The defeat hurt the Titans' hopes of securing a top-two spot, which would've given the franchise two chances of making it to the final. While it's not all but over for GT as far as a spot in Qualifier 1 is concerned, not everything is in the hands of the Shubman Gill-led side.
Understandably frustrated with his team's defeat against Lucknow, a team that isn't even in the playoffs, Gill seemingly ignored what his counterpart Pant had to say during the customary handshake between the two teams. Here's the video:

Both Gill and Pant are mainstays in the Indian national team. In fact, the two are touted to become the next captain and vice-captain for India in the Test format, after Rohit Sharma's retirement from red-ball cricket. But, the post-match video had fans talking.

"We gave 15-20 runs extra. Wanted to stop them around 210. Huge difference between 210 and 230. We bowled well in the powerplay, didn't get any wickets but after the powerplay in the 14 overs they scored
